Mr. Philip Rosenthal - Controlling the Internet Before it Controls our Kids

Approximately: 1 hour in length [video]


Mr. Rosenthal is a police officer who works on tracking down sexual predators and putting them behind bars. He gave a lecture in a synogogue about sexual predators. He tells how he was on a sexual predator's case, and acted like a young girl of 14-15 and ended up with the guy behind bars. He tells us about myspace; about aol profiles; and what parents need to do with their kids, and not to use the computer with the internet, as a babysitter.

He tells us of the huge problem of "www.myspace.com" and how some kids put their real information on that site and how it is a haven for predators. He tells of seminar that he gave to a number of Rabbis and wanted to bring the point home. He had found some information on myspace and blotted out all identifying information and handed out copies to the Rabbis, and after they looked at it, he said, that, that information contained inside, was a daughter of one of Rabbis who were present.

  • I never left my my son alone with any male because I have found by experience most kids who have serious issues have been molested by someone close to or in the family .A young lass we know of has just sorted her self out after many years but it was her sister that was molested .Predators use churches scout groups and even shuls to find their prey .As I was a victim I became paranoid when we had a child as I was told its been done to you you will most likely do it to your child .B`H YOU CAN ALSO BE REPULSED BY IT .

  • As a parent of 3 children ranging now in ages of 12 - 19, I am very much aware of the sickies that is out in cyberland.

    My son uses MySpace alot. I refuse to allow my daughters to be a part of it. For over a year, I've been monitoring newspapers across the country (both online and off) regarding MySpace and AOL. I've found that both have the same amount of news regarding predators nationwide.

    When the founders of MySpace were being interviewed on a local (SF) radio show, I was one of the callers who simply asked them, "Don't you realize of what you have allowed to happen has happened?" The young men both denied any wrong doing and said it was up to the individual to know right from wrong - also mentioned the First Amendment.

    MySpace unlike AOL is hard to monitor as a parent. At least AOL there was a feature that parents can use to monitor the chats. AOL acknowledged the wrong doings. MySpace won't.

    By the way, many states' attorney general offices are considering action to close MySpace for good and to fine the owners for irresponsibility.

    I hope they win.

  • He also presented at the Nefesh conference this year. It was a powerful, frightening and informative lecture.
