    PARENT ADVISORY -- Watch out for unsafe websites that teens may be drawn to, like:
www.chatroulette.com , a online phenomenon that allows kids to connect through webcams to a random, fathomless succession of strangers (possibly predators) from across the globe.
www.Formspring.me , which the NY Times calls “the online version of the bathroom wall in school, the place to scrawl raw, anonymous gossip.”
