[LM_NET] MySpace question PS

[Nancy Willard <nwillard@CSRIU.ORG>]

I really do not have the approval to send this email further, but I have
removed the personal identification and I did not ask to receive this email.
But for an absolute example of insanity, read this:

Hello and thank you for your time
This is the letter I, my wife and older daughter have sent to myspace.com:

"This profile is my sons profile. He is 11 years old.

We bought him a pc to use for his school work not to bully people on
myspace. He is not even old enough to have a myspace profile but he has
opened one with a free mail server and he will not give us the info. Our
entire family has written to myspace about this on several occasions but
nothing has been done about it as of yet. He has no computer privelages
anymore but he is now using his friends pc next door because he is on at
this very moment (his online light is on) I do not know where else to do
about this I thought you had to be much older to use myspace.com. I would
like his profile deleted. I dont know what else to do about this. I wish you
folks would not let 11 year olds on myspace. Even though it is a good way to
make friends it is not for 11 year old boys. Our friends have also been
letting us know that he is sending them porn videos and he laughs about it.

Sorry to take up your time but we are all really upset by this.  Our whole
family is very upset about this because there are predators out there
and we have tried to not let him on the internet but he has told us that he
has logged on in school and at friends houses. All we want is for his
profile to be deleted before he finds him in serious trouble."
 
We wrote them  (myspace.com) several times and they just keep ignoring us as
if they do not even read their mail. Is there anything else we can do to
have his profile deleted? I would appreciate any tips.

<Major sigh>

Nancy
