I basically explained in Blog 11 what my research plan is going to be.
Topic: Online Predator
Purpose: To inform others and avoid harmful behaviors online that will affect everyone's lives.
What is the goverment doing to help prevent online predators? One is in need of help online and offline, and it is our duties as parents, teachers, professionals, and especially "the goverment" who have every power to control and stop matters like this one in more ways than one. There is a solution. It is possible if we all work together as a team.

That sounds really interesting. Good sources. I'm glad to hear that people are being proactive about predators because it's definately an ongoing issue. In one of the articles it said something about comericals or campagins to have girls "think before they type" or whatever. I think that's key to awareness. It reminds me of those "Truth" commericals about smoking. I mean the images really make you think/remember. Maybe you should include how media/advertisement could prevent being victimized of online predators. Interesting topic.
