Social Networking and Kids

I recently read an article on the concerns of children on social networking sights such as Facebook and MySpace. The sites have an age limit but there is no telling that the child may be lying about their age. Some scientists worry that the use of these sight by children may lead to internet addiction and can damage the brain and the child's relationships. I never thought that kids were on these sights and to think of it, it does make sense because the children go onto the sights to play games. I knew that preteens have been using these sights but I never knew that children were. This worries me and I think it it ridiculous that the parents of these children allow them to have a social networking profile becuase not only can it cause an addiction but it can also put the children in danger. This will hopefully stop and hopefully there will be a way to make sure that the age of the user is not a lie.
