I dont have all the phone numbers of my acquaintances. But if I want to get in touch with one of them, I could just leave them a message on MySpace,” said Abby Van Wassen. She is a 15 year old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.Parents on the other hand are seriously worried about the safe problems of MySpace.“ Every time we hold a parents meeting, the first question is always about My Space,” said Kent Gates, who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars (研讨会). The National Centre for Missing Children has received at least 288 MySpace related complaints（相关投诉）, according to Mary Beth Buchanan, a lawyer in Pittsburgh.“Your profile on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web.
