Beware: McDreamy just might be McPimp

This. I'm just a guy who knows how to locate certain things. If you're so inclined.

can you get me a rock hammer?

Unfortunately, the prostitution ring of MFP is all too real.

Seriously........ The things I have to do for calories........ it is shameful.

Yes, absolutely her life went off the rails because she accepted a FR in Facebook. Nothing to do with a thousand other life choices she made before and after. Definitely Facebook and social media is to blame because no girls ever ended up as prostitutes before Al Gore invented the Internet.

Thanks for the scary story. I'm going to go put on my tinfoil hat right now so the guvment can stop with the brain control crap

Did you bother to read the article? I did and don't recall any reference saying Facebook or the internet was to blame. Just an article that should emphasize the importance of parents monitoring what their kids do on the internet.

But of course every parent on here already does that. :ohwell:

I did read the article. It was hard to take seriously. Even at 18, messages like "Call me soon as u get this love so we can chop it up and get better acquainted..." or "Yo future everythang a real true pappy dats gone keep u happy!!" (quotes from the article) would have not even earned my interest, let alone prompted me to rush out and meet with this person.

Monitoring children's Internet use is of course important. But so is raising children to have some damn common sense.

Did you bother reading the article. Seems pretty clear......she chose to stay and turn tricks because she thought this guy loved her. Her problems started way before she accepted a friends request.

And 22, in college, you're able to watch out for yourself as a recognized adult.

Again, the article wasn't about an isolated incident with one girl.

Again, the girl was not 22 when this took place.

How sad this thread had to turn into a bunch of sarcastic bullying.

How many of these posters have daughters, I wonder?

Thank you OP for this information.

I, for one, will heed the warning for my daughter.

Wasn't too sure where I saw bullying on this thread.

I saw a few jokes between friends but to throw the term "bullying" out there is pretty irresponsible on your part.

And yes . . . you should be weary of internet sex predators on social websites.

Is this new information?

I know I'm opening myself up to your "jokes" here, but yes, this is somewhat "new information" to me.
I did not grow up with the internet or social media of any kind but now I am raising children who are being inundated by this new culture and it's scary.
I will take all the information I can get to protect my children.

Prostitution is no "joke" no matter if you think the girl "wants" to stay in it or not.

What new information did you discover here? That the world is a big place and sometimes bad things happen to people? You're a grown woman and I've seen evidence of your intelligence in your other posts so I'm sure you were already aware.

There's nothing here. Just scary words that add up to nothing new. I've got 2 daughters and Facebook is the last of my concerns.
