What stands out for me from post:

' Raise the Issue of Inappropriate Behavior Appropriately

Of course, we should talk to our kids about creepy adults, but we need
to remember that most pedophiles still exploit face-to-face
interactions far more commonly than chatrooms, online multiplayer game
spaces, or social networking websites. That's not to say that there
aren't potentially yucky encounters to be had on even innocuous sites
like Runescape, but too much talk about "stranger danger" may not
encourage your children to protect themselves against those who are
nearer and dearer and more likely to abuse their power as adults. It's
also important to include threatening and harrassing behavior that is
non-sexual in the dialogue. Kids may be more willing to talk if you
elicit their responses to your own experiences as a child with
inappropriate behavior from adults.'

A point that can be refered to to dispell the notion of the open
internet being a bad thing when talking about child protection. Agree
when disussing going open raise the Issue of Inappropriate Behavior
Appropriately without going overboard with the stranger danger aspect.
