You’ll Want To Close Your Eyes For This One
I can’t believe what I just witnessed. I just viewed a video of a gang of kids beating up a defenseless teenage girl. Why did they do it? To get the bragging rights to having a shocking video on YouTube.
The article I read told the story of eight teenagers (EIGHT!) who lured another student into a home…and simply beat her…for 30 minutes.

Phishing Made Easy, Way Too Easy
I found an article recently that explained how easy it is to create a phishing site.

Yes, I’m Still Here
I know it’s been silent here these last few months. But, yes, I am still here.
I’ve been running several projects since late last year, and then, of course, there were the holidays to contend with. So I thought I’d kick the dust off by giving Family WebWatch a makeover and bring with it renewed energy to post more regularly.
I welcome your suggestions on what topics you’d like to see covered here. In the meantime, I’ll be working behind the scenes to bring more content to the front.
Stay tuned!

Virtual Worlds Of Fun With Kraze
When creating an account, kids are asked to create their own character as that’s how they’ll be seen to others in the world they play in. Kids can also use webcams to show who’s behind the character they play. (Again, parental guidance is recommended.)
While playing, kids are awarded coins to use as currency in Kraze. In addition to discovering new places, kids can also setup their very own virtual room where they can decorate with objects they purchase with the coins they collect.
Kraze is one of many popular virtual worlds that have been so successful for children these days. This looks like a great place for kids to have [...] Continue Reading…

Someone has been bad this year. They’ve sabotaged Santa’s sleigh and caused all the toys to fall from the sky! But not to worry, for Merlin the elf will save them with your help.
