Peel - During the summer break, children will have greater opportunity to go online and increase the risks associated to unsupervised use of the internet. Internet sites such as MySpace and Facebook have dramatically increased in popularity amongst our youth and should be accessed only while exercising due caution to the possible consequences associated with their applications.
It’s important to remember that the use of social networking sites has negative risks such as cyber-bullying and identity theft. Both children and adults can be victimized.
The Mississauga Newsis reporting that "Seven Mississauga boys who were responsible for more than 100 incidents of vandalism and graffiti in the city's south end over the winter months have been placed on probation and ordered to pay fines that range up to $1,500 apiece."
