Kids and predators can still lie about age to get around new MySpace rules

Claiming to be 14, Marissa Marlowe used a false identity to log onto the popular Internet social networking site, MySpace.com.
Truth is, she’s only 12.
“Everyone had one so I wanted to be on,” she said. “And you can’t have one unless you’re 14, so I put I was 14.”
MySpace.com has added safety features to attempt shielding children against predators. One feature blocks those over 18 from being “friends” with a 14 or 15-year-old unless an e-mail address or first and last name has been provided.
However, many Boca parents still think the site is dangerous. The parents don’t believe these on-line features would prevent children or predators from lying about age, or predators from claiming a younger age.
