"September 4, 2008 (Computerworld)  Facebook Inc. has started testing a safety 
icon developed by the state of New Jersey to allow users of the social 
networking site to report potential sexual predators,
cyber-bullies and inappropriate content, New Jersey Attorney General Anne 
Milgram announced Wednesday.

The testing and evaluation of the Report Abuse icon is part of Facebook's May 
agreement with 49 state attorneys general to find ways to better protect 
children from online criminals.
The testing will span 1.5 million page impressions on Facebook over six months, 
Milgram said.

As part of the agreement, Facebook also said it plans to continue to enhance 
age and identity tools on its site,
and provide automatic warning messages when a child is in danger of providing 
personal information to an unknown adult."
