I've heard alot about "Safe Websites", and the truth is, there are none. There is always something or some one taking attempts at getting your person information. You have to remember that clearing your internet browsing history, saved passwords, etc. doesn't "completely" remove that information from your computers hard-drive, you have to go through hundreds of computer files to delete it. Why else would the government take peoples computers to use as evidence? They do it because they have people that know all the right folders, hackers, etc. can still make their way into the folders by simply extracting those files.
There is no safe website, and there will probly never be, there is always a way around a program, and people will find them.

I think you're right, realdeal, but it's no longer black and white (never was, but even less so now on the social Web). There are sites that are showing more corporate responsbility and that are players in the online-safety discussion and there are sites that simply don't have the resources, probably, to "go there." The real problem is that, unless you could get all social (or user-content-hosting) sites to protect kids, there will always be someplace on the Web where kids can get into trouble. For free, and relatively anonymously (until computer forensics is used, anyway). Kind of like the real world. Hmmm.
Does that make sense?
