Cyber Busters group likens online world to ‘wild West,’ aims to protect kids

About a week ago, Maria Adolphson saw something on her son’s Web page that concerned her. Once or twice a week she checks her 17-year-old son’s MySpace page. She looks to see who he’s talking to, who his friends are and what he’s talking about. This time she found a stranger trying to lure her son to a shadowy adult encounter. Someone claiming to be a 28-year-old woman had contacted Taylor, telling him she liked his profile and to go to a Web site if he wanted to see more of her. The Web site took Adolphson to partially nude photos of the woman.
