Are our children being harmed when parents keep them inside?
Is the media overblowing the threat of child abuse on the Internet to get people to support regulating it?

This is just a theory of mine.
A few months ago I watched one of those ‘to catch a predator’ shows on Dateline. Scary stuff.
Then a week later, I saw they were doing the same theme on the show.
And a month later, again, the same theme. I thought ‘wow this is odd, they are literally doing the same show over and over.’ And I noticed the threat of child abuse and abduction via the Internet is really pushed by the media. The media will run any story that causes fear simply because people are more likely to watch it. If it affects our lives, and puts us or our family in danger, we will pay attention. Unfortunately this is the way humans are wired, and could possibly be why the US media does not cover much of what happens in other countries. We just will not pay attention like we would if there is a story that pertains to our own lives. Not that we would not watch a story about something happening in another country, but we are more likely to watch the threatening one. And in the US, capitalism rules, so every media company will run whatever they feel will get the most viewers. Sad, really.
