You're right, Deirdré, this could be a potential dark side of videoblogging but at the moment there are not very many kids videoblogging on a regular basis... and I like it that way. The more kids we have videoblogging, the more kids will be targetted.
In my experience, I know that certain videobloggers DO get targetted. Since my show covers sex news, I tend to get a lot of e-mails asking me to take my clothes off (but that is something I will never do... I do not wish to pose naked on the Internet, nor do I wish to take too much attention away from my news stories). Besides me, I have no doubt that the beautiful Amanda Congdon has received filth mail like this as well. When it comes down to it, it's up to parents... they need to be informed of the dangers of purchasing webcams and digital cameras for their children. What happened with this kid in the New York Times is unfortunate... but parents have to stay informed in order to protect their children from these kinds of mistakes.
