Are Predators a Real Threat on MySpace? Family Articles | November 29 Mitch Wishnowsky 49ers Jersey , 2006 MySpace was developed as a site for older teens and young adults to correspond with friends and be able to talk to people in the United States and almost anywhere else in the world. Unfortunately it is a breeding ground for sexual predators who realized very quickly that it is a great place to hit on innocent kids.
There are several reasons that this can happen even though there are guidelines for this type of behavior for anyone using MySpace and the site is monitored closely. Predators find MySpace the perfect place to meet and solicit young people because many teens lie about their age and they are often quite na?ve about people. Most of the time the teens and young adults are using MySpace for innocent reasons. They simply want to correspond with their friends and meet new people.
Parents often do not understand MySpace or may not even know their teens have profiles on the site. It is up to parents to know what is going on and to set limits and make rules.
Young people are often not very careful when posting their profiles, photos and personal information. They don?t worry about anyone getting the information who shouldn?t have it, especially when they have specified a list of people that they will be corresponding with. This does not keep them safe because anyone can read the information and view anything posted on MySpace.
There are young people who are vulnerable to predators online. Sometimes it is innocence and other times it may be the thrill of doing something that seems dangerous. Again, these teens and young adults do not understand what could happen.
Predators are certainly a real threat on MySpace and one to be taken seriously.
Many communities have associations for homeowners, property owners Jalen Hurd 49ers Jersey , condo owners, or similar associations. The presence of a homeowners association, also known as "HOA", introduces another layer of rules and regulations to consider when buying a home. Some people love these associations and some hate them.
Homeowners' Associations
Some associations have very simple rules such as no abandoned, non-working motor vehicles and no grass above ten inches tall are allowed. Others have architectural review boards that must approve your paint scheme before you can repaint your house. I'm serious.
I was once looking at a townhouse with a potential buyer Deebo Samuel 49ers Jersey , and a neighbor knocked on the door to hand deliver a notice that the door had been painted without permission (it was a deep, wine red). The notice went on to state that the door would have to be returned to its original dark green color or an exception applied for within ten days. Although she liked the townhouse, the potential buyer decided she did not want to live with this sort of micromanagement.
Some associations add a significant amount of cost to the home purchase via high monthly, quarterly or annual dues payments. An aggressive association may also attempt to issue levies on homeowners for improvement projects. My husband and I once looked at a penthouse condo on the outer banks of North Carolina. I was reviewing the annual budget for the condo association, and noticed a twelve thousand dollar per unit levy made during the prior year. I asked about it and was told that it "depends upon the 'beach push' situation." Further questioning elicited the information that when hurricanes or severe storms eroded the beach Nick Bosa 49ers Jersey , fresh sand had to be brought in. Not only did it have to be brought in, it had to be pushed up into dunes and the dunes planted with sea oats and grasses! I am all for preserving the environment, but the twelve thousand dollar levy certainly made me nervous.
If you are considering a property controlled by an association, watch out for the following:
1. Sometimes associations limit what pets owners may have
2. If the association allows pets, it may limit the hours they can be outside.
3. Parking places may be assigned coupled with an aggressive towing policy.
Some associations maintain pools Solomon Thomas 49ers Jersey , tennis courts, elevators, trash collection, snow removal, grounds maintenance Dante Pettis 49ers Jersey , provide bus or limo service, concierge service, and in general make life pleasant and trouble free. While these are nice benefits, make sure you are comfortable with the costs associated with them.
Look Before You Leap
So, as you can see Mike McGlinchey 49ers Jersey , whether your concern is protecting the value of your investment (no junk cars), maintaining your freedom to choose (you want an eggplant door, a place to park the company truck, andor to build an addition with a family room and a new kitchen), it's very wise to check out those things which can limit your control and increase the cost of home ownership before you buy.
