Its an internet hang out for millions of teenagers and chances are your teenager could be their right now.

The popular website MySpace.com is a place where teens post pictures, discuss their personal lives and meet people from across the world, but do they really know who is in their space? We investigated the wildly popular site and found your children could be putting themselves at risk to becoming a target for an online sexual predator.

While many teens may be using the social networking website to keep up on the latest gossip others may not be. We found picture after picture posted on the site of teenagers right here in Kentucky and they aren't the pictures you might want to see.

There are pictures of young girls posed in sexually suggestive photos and talk of sex and excessive drinking.

We took the photos we found to Detective Mike Viergutz with the Internet Crimes Against Children Division of the Kentucky State Police. While the pictures we found were shocking to us, it's something Detective Viergutz sees regularly as he investigates internet crimes.

He told us the images were primarily inappropriate but that he wouldn't imagine that many of the parents are aware their children have posed suggestively online or that they've posted questionable material.

And we found pictures of young boys; one posed with a handgun with a sexual connotation. Other area teens have offensive material like photos of a tattoo with a rebel flag and a noose. One teen boast of drinking a fifth of wild turkey in 45 minutes.

But what police say is most disturbing is the number of teens posting personal information that makes them easy to track down. We found profiles where students gave their first and last names, where they go to school, what activities they are involved in and even who all of their friends are. Some even tell where they work after school and some even post their cell phone numbers.

" The hidden danger with these kind of websites and giving out the kind of information is that there are predators out there. People like to go after them and hurt them and possibly sexually assault them." says Detective Viergutz.

And that danger is evident in recent headlines surrounding MySpace. In New Jersey a 14 year old girl was murdered, right after she told friends she met a man in his 20s on MySpace. In Northern California 15 year old Kayla Reed was an active MySpace user until she disappeared.

Ask any group of teenagers and they will most likely say they have an account on the website.

Some Lexington teens who we talked with, who are regular MySpace users, agree that many of their friends don't use common sense when it comes to what they post on line.

" I don't think people really realize just how many people can go and look at MySpace and pretty much do whatever they want with it." said Jamyle, a Lexington high school student.

The teens we talked with say they realize it's not just friends online, but worry their friends and classmates are opening doors to predators.

" I think a lot of people that try to put phone numbers or information that you get in contact with them. I think they are just thinking of their friends and the people they just want to get in contact with." said Ken another Lexington high school student.

We went back to those photos we found of a 16 year old girl posing suggestively. Detective Viergutz says while these photos might entice predators there is nothing illegal about the photos. What he worries about is what happens down the road.

" Years from now she is going to be an adult and she is going to contact me and say somebody has images of me on their website and there is nothing I can do about it because she put them out there."

In a recent response to CBS News MySpace.com said it holds the safety and privacy of its more than 52 million users as having paramount importance. It also says it dedicates a third of its workforce to policing and monitoring the site 24 hours a day. And MySpace provides a list of terms and conditions that prohibit the display of nudity, hate speech and/or obscene material and that it has the right to remove anything that falls under those categories or shut the site down.

Who's Inside My Space - Part 2

Sexual predators are all over the internet. Thousands of them, online at any time. Many looking for young victims. Police say too many find their target with the help of teenagers, themselves, who simply don't know what they're putting online.

And it's not just the predators, too many teens are putting too much information on websites like MySpace.com opening the door to all types of trouble. Like what happened in one Kentucky middle school, where online gossip turned to violence.

It started as simple words on a computer screen..

" They were friends 48 hours, 24 hours ago." said Steve Swank, principal of Henry County Middle School.

A simple posting on an internet website that erupts into violence, escalating out of the cyber world and into the halls of Henry County Middle School. Two students who had never been in trouble before in a violent fight, one girl wanting to hurt another just for something that had been said online.

" I brought them into my office and I said what caused this and their response, was well she got into my space." said Swank.

What Swank was about to find out, was something this school principal of four years had no idea even existed. A website called MySpace.com and one that was quickly becoming popular among his middle school students.

" We could not believe the extent of the graphics of what was on this site, not just girls at Henry County or boys, we were amazed, we were shocked." said Swank.

Shocked because of photos of 8th grade students drinking and personal information posted by students on a website for all the world to see. Some of his own students posting exaggerated ages just to get on the site.

" My first reaction is do kids at this age have any idea the consequences that can come about here." said Swank.

And Swank wasn't the only one shocked to learn what some teens were doing on line, so were parents.

" My biggest fear is that their going to get into something that they just can't handle or that they just don't need to be doing." said a Henry County Middle School parent.

She had no idea her 16 year old son even had an account on the popular website and was shocked when her 13 year old wanted to sign up. We've chose not to use her identity in order to keep from identifying her sons. We asked her what she knew of MySpace.

" I have heard that several of them have pictures on that are probably not really appropriate, how they readily admit to stealing taking drugs." said the parent.

We showed parents pictures of young girls from right here in the bluegrass posed suggestively on their accounts.

" My first reaction is really disgust, where is the line that stops that from being child pornography, what's the difference," said a parent.

We asked another parent if the pictures of girls posed suggestively and showing a lot of skin were borderline pornographic.

" Yes I think so. It comes very close to it." said another parent.

Now school officials at Henry County Middle are getting together a new lesson plan for online safety and it goes beyond school.

" We're only as effective as the support and help we get at home. We feel that getting the buy in and concern from the parent community is going to be beneficial to us assisting the kids." said Swank.

While it was only a fight at Henry County Middle School, police say for a website where millions of kids venture each day it could have been much worse.

Swank said, " Back when it was just gossip we can call in the kids and say did you say this about, well knock it off. Now it goes to a whole new extreme."

Henry County Middle School has since blocked the MySpace website and others like it from school. Henry County is also working to bring both students and parents together to learn about the dangers that can come about with websites such as this one.
