At a field hearing before the California state Senate Subcommittee for Technological Crime and the Consumer, which was chaired by Senator Liz Figueroa, D-Frement, at the Microsoft campus in Mountain View, California, Rick Minicucci, CTO of the National Center for Mission & Exploited Children, told those in attendance that one of every five children who surf the Internet get unwanted sexual solicitations. Minicucci also said the problem will be exacerbated as children go further into cyberspace, not only through desktop computers, but also through other devices, including cellphones. Minicucci went on to say that because technology is a moving target, it is not possible to target a single technology at a time. A large portion of the discussion centered around the comparatively new and expanding number of social networking sites, including MySpace, which has about 61 million members. MySpace was acquired by News Corporation, and should, said Senator Abel Maldonado, R-Santa Maria, devise a system for verifying the ages of its users in order to protect the youngsters from predators. Also speaking were Lt. Bob Lozito, operations commander of the state Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, and State Deputy Attorney General Robert Morgester. Lt. Lozito said MySpace and other companies have worked with law enforcement to address the challenges, and General Morgester said a significant problem is the fact that California has strict laws dealing with child molestation, but such violations as solicitation or attempts to commit that crime are treated as infractions instead of crimes.
