The advancement in technology had provided a revolution in the development of human beings. Among them one of the biggest innovations is of social networking. Infact it had been proven by many researches that the social networking sites are more safer then other chat rooms. Even then also the social networking Web sites such as MySpace and Facebook have been singled out as places where teens could face sexual harassment, most of the unwanted solicitation actually happens in chat rooms and via instant messaging, a new study finds.

The study shows that only 15 percent of children experience unwanted sexual solicitation and only a third report being harassed online, according to a new study in the February.

The organizer had taken data of 1,588 children aged 10 to 15 years old. In a survey, the children were asked about their online experiences over the past year. Among these children, 15 percent said they had an unwanted sexual solicitation. Only one-fourth of these occurred on a social networking site.

In addition, 33 percent said they were harassed online. About one-fourth of the incidents occurred on a social networking site.

However, 43 percent of unwanted sexual solicitations occurred via instant messaging, and 32 percent occurred in chat rooms. Harassment was most common with instant messaging, which accounted for 55 percent, the researchers found.

The research team had found that quite may be due to the served children belongs to a younger age group that’s why the result is not exact.

MySpace and Facebook have age restrictions to prevent youths under ages 14 and 13 from using the sites. This means that many of the kids in the survey are theoretically prevented from exposure, and one interpretation of the author's findings is that setting an entry age is keeping many kids out of these sites.

Due to this a new law is going to set on American social sites or chat room which will put a bar on the site if they reference of any sexual harassment. The bill would make it easier to stop sex offenders from using popular teen-oriented sites. It would also bar paroled sex offenders from social networking sites and ban online communication with minors.
