Fla. dad confronts teen bloggers

The headline in the Naples Daily News - "Father angry over daughter's online activities at school" - is a little misleading. The blogging that upset him wasn't just happening at school, and Palmetto Ridge High's Web-filtering system wasn't going to catch this activity. Only close monitoring - by parents and teachers, not software - might've turned up the sexually explicit photos and text posted by his daughter and her friends. But the phenomenon was just as much about their social lives as about technology. According to the Daily News, the dad, John Wilkinson, "made the final posting for his daughter [in the blog] to many of her friends: 'by posting those pictures of yourself and the other girls ... on the Web, not only have you publicly degraded yourself, but you have run dangerously close to the wire of committing a federal offense by posting what could be construed as child pornography on the Web.'" Wilkinson went public with this experience to alert other parents, the Daily News reports.
