A couple of years back, some friends of mine convinced me to start a MySpace page. I don’t think I’ve looked at it in more than a year. I felt then – and feel now – that MySpace exists for Indie bands, Muslim extremists, and pedophiles. Seems there’s a market for mass murderers, too.
The discovery that Canada’s most notorious serial child-killer has a MySpace web page was met with outrage and disgust Tuesday night.
Clifford Olson, who terrorized the Lower Mainland in the early 1980s, is more than 25 years into a life sentence for killing 11 young boys and girls.
I have told my friends, parents of young tweens and teens, to keep an eye on their MySpace usage. It’s a haven for assholes. And it just got a little uglier.
While in B.C. Pen in 1974, sexually attacked a 17-year-old fellow inmate. After being released he indecently assaulted a 7-year-old girl in Nova Scotia. This was the beginning of his sexually deviant and murderous criminal activity.
This is a pretty silly post RG. I bet he also uses the telephone. Are you gonna stop using that too?
It is a nasty world out there. There are no “safe” social networking sites. Facebook has similar problems. The dangers are real, but lets not blow them out of proportion.
I probably wouldn’t let my child on the telephone with Clifford Olsen, if that’s what you mean.

Not unless you stopped using MySpace because Clifford Olsen asked to be your friend.
