| Outraged Mother Here!!!!! Ok I took a deep breath, read a few threads and and have calmed down some. My oldest daughter is a big fan of myspace. She is as addicted as I am on here. Anyways,,,,, someone sent a message commenting on her profile and asked why is it that she has 2 profiles. She answered to this comment to find out what this person was talking about. It turns out that someone copied and pasted all her pictures and was claiming to be her in a very bad way. So my daughter was trying to get to the bottom of it and wanted to know who this person was. She was thinking that it could have been one of her frineds messing with her. So she sends a message to this person. The responds that she got was not at all what she was thinking. This person went on about how HE got off by impersonating her. He went on and on. It was really sick and scarry with the things he wrote. When she got to the part I go to your school,,,,,, and I can't even repeat the rest of what he wrote. She started to cry. To make matters worse, he kept sending her sick messages. She was scared becasue this person seems to know alot about her. I told her to make a bulletin about this person and copy and paist what he had been sending her so that people will know. Well they deleted the profile that night. But not before he sent 3 more ugly messages which she found this morning. Ok here where it gets really bad! My daughter is scared out of her mind and is worried about this person really being someone at her school. So I go to school with her and have a talk to one of the security guy in front of the school. I told him what was going on and that I wanted to talk to someone and make a report of this. He pretty much told me that there was nothing anyone can do about it and it was probably some old man getting off. And if I were so worried about it,,, don't let her be on the internet so that these old pigs would not bother her. I could not believe this person told me this. I just walked away got to my car and wanted to cry. He had me thinking I was the bad parent. So the more I was crying the more pissed I was getting and told myself HELL NO!!! I came home and got on the phone and talked to the principal. I told her what had happened and what the security guy told me. She was outraged herself. She told me to print out a copy of everything this person sent her and to go to the police and make a report there. I then made a call to the police department and they told me the same thing. They can and will find out who this person is. And if it is someone at the school, both the school and police department will take action. As for the stupid so called security guy, well we will see how long he has his job after I get ahold of him! My daughter is a straight A student and is a very good girl. I am very proud of her and feel so outraged that this pompous ass made me feel like a bad parent. Oh man do I feel better gettin it all out!!! Sorry, but I had to vent!

| There are alot of sicko's on the net....My neighbor is going thru the same thing. Someone took a pic, her e-mail addy and yahoo ID and posted it in the Yahoo personals under women seeking women and she is married. She has been getting all kinds of instant messages and e-mails from some very weird people. I feel so bad for your daughter, it is scary just how much info someone can steal from you. I hope that the police can catch this person and put a stop to your daughters fears. Good luck.

| I don't know the exact circumstances, but at the very least...this is a case of harassment and defamation of character. Both of these offenses can be tried in a court of law. Seems like there is some other possible lewd conduct per what you're saying. Anyways, get a lawyer. Have your lawyer contact the owners of Myspace for information regarding this individual (maybe they can track down an IP address or link this individual to another Myspace account). I wouldn't have Myspace shut down that profile just yet, as these are serious charges. I would first attempt to track this individual down. This will help identify whether this individual is local (at your daughter's school) or far away. If local, then I would pursue charges. If far away, just shut the profile down. We don't know for sure, but maybe this is an individual that had a run in w/ your daughter and is upset??? That is my advice. Good luck. |

| Wow i'd be outraged as well if i was a mother. I'm on myspace and have gotten sick comments/messages by complete psycho's. It's really sad to see that there are so many sick and estranged people out there that are preying on kids/women etc. There was a bulletin on myspace about a girl who was killed from a guy she met on Myspace. so please be careful. i'm not sure this is allowed but her myspace is www.myspace.com/doowop i have the bulletin still, and can e-mail it to you if you'd like. |

| Schools have to provide a safe environment for your child. They have to make REASONABLE attempts to protect your child. With that said, the security guard is right in the sense that there is really nothing that he can do. What do you expect? For him to begin searching lockers and interrogating students randomly? He wasn't right to comment about your child's internet activity. He should've reported the situation to the principal and then...they can discuss and document the situation. Without something for them to go on, like a real name or anything, your school's principal and security can only document the situation. And I don't think your daughter would appreciate it if the school started interrogating everyone that she associates with. That would be embarrassing for her. So wait until Myspace gets back to your lawyer w/ some info. That is all that can be done. |

I can't say it's not someone that doesn't like her,,, you know how these kids can be. Jealousy, revenge for what ever reason,,, or maybe she did piss off the wrong person. I just don't know. These days people get upset if you look at them a way they don't like. We were at the route 66 car show and her and her friend were watching the kids going down the slid. They were laughing and pointing at Cherish going down and these girls thought they were pointing laughing at them. My husband seen what was happining and chased them away by threating to call a cop. These kids are so ready to jump the gun without a thought. My daughter is very motherly. She is the one who takes in the kids who are new or picked on. She is well liked at school and has lots of friends. I just don't understand why someone would do this to her. But we will get to the bottom of it thats for sure!

And as far as locker issue,,,,, I was upset when they took out lockers from most California schools. But now I am greatfull with the way kids are now you never know what you will find! It's bad enough we have to worry about our children while at school. Random locker checks are no longer an issue here. Thank goodness!

| I hadn't heard about myspace until a few weeks ago and now that's all I hear about from my daughter. What is happening to you and your family is very scary and I hope you find who is behind it. I thank you for sharing this with us. I didn't like this whole myspace thing to begin with and now I have reason to pull the plug on it here in my home.

| I am so sorry to hear this... Hopefully he left enough incriminating evidence in his letters you will be able to get to the bottom of who is responsible. What a invasion of privacy. I don't care if we are on the internet or not it gives NO ONE the right to do this. It is a "INJUSTICE" not matter how you look at it !!!! To prey on young teenage girls... You done the right things to protect your daughter!!!! I am so glad you didn't stop with the security guard!!!
