GCSD: MySpace

GCSD’s MySpace Page

Welcome! We are new to having a MySpace page, but not new to being on MySpace
Our goal is to educate and be visible in the MySpace community. We encourage parents to play an active role in monitoring their child’s MySpace. While parents need to be involved in their children’s “online diet”, looking over your child’s shoulder constantly is not the best way to implement parental control. Having a MySpace page of your own and being added to your child’s friend’s list and communicating with them through MySpace or other electronic means(i.e. e-mail, instant messenger, etc.) will help the communication between parent and child. It will also encourage your child to share information with you that they might encounter and being listed as “Mom” or “Dad” on your child’s friend list may deter a potential MySpace predator. This is also a goal for our MySpace page. We encourage people of our community to submit a friend request and have us added to your friend’s list. If a potential child predator sees a law enforcement agency listed as a friend this is just another deterrent in helping protect your child.

Be safe!!
