"The online world, like the rest of society, is made up of a wide variety of people. Most are decent and respectful, but some may be rude, obnoxious, insulting or even mean and exploitative. Children and teenagers get a lot of benefit from being online, but they can also be targets of crime and exploitation in this as in any other environment." Lawrence J. Magid
