NOTE TO PARENTS: If your pre-teen or teenager has a profile at popular online clubs, such as Facebook,  MySpace or Twitter, visit the website with them and review the personal information they may be posting. Remove their picture, address, phone number, school they attend, etc. and any information a stranger can potentially use to locate them.
