"l33tsp33k" is dangerous to our kids
    #5515381 - 04/14/06 10:03 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

You kids better watch out for this "l33tsp33k" stuff they are talking about, not like OMG means oh my god and POS means piece of shit...

:lol:

(CBS4) BOSTON It's called Leetspeak - the online language kids use to speed up communication and keep their parents guessing. The code has developed a dangerous edge to it.

Thirteen-year-old Michael Kennedy says BFF means "best friends forever" in an instant message from a friend. It's how kids communicate online, and it can be fairly innocent. OMG, for example, is "oh my gosh."

But Leetspeak, the secret code of numbers and letters, is changing and Internet safety experts want to warn parents about it.

"There are too many predators out there that could endanger their kids' lives or sexualize them too early," says Internet safety expert and family therapist Barbara Melton. "And leetspeak is just a gateway to all that."

How bad has the lingo become? NIFOC is one of the terms they will use and it means Naked in Front of Computer. Then there's KPC - Keeping Parents Clueless; GYP0 - Get Your Pants Off; and TDTM - Talks Dirty To Me.

While some parents are clued into the code, experts say most are not.

One young girl started a steamy online affair right in front of her parents says family therapist Susan Shankle, "While the mom was cooking dinner and the dad was watching television, the daughter who was 11 at the time was carrying on this conversation with an older man."

Although the parents checked the instant message regularly, the conversations were like a foreign language.

Al Kush of Wiredsafety.org has this advice for parents about Leetspeak, "At least become familiar with it. Know it's there.

Parental control software is helpful, but it's not a panacea. It's not the answer." Fortunately, there are several on-line dictionaries and translators that can help parents BTC...Break Their Code. They include Teenangels.org and Netlingo.com.

One of the most commonly used abbreviations is POS which means Parent Over Shoulder. Your kids may not like it, but experts say that's exactly where you should be if you want to help keep your child safe.

o_O yes, an unorganized global means of speeding up talking online is making our child open to pretadors? I mean, you can't do cybersex completely in "leetspeak".

me: ybtoyp*
girl: WTF did you just say you idiot?

*this of course means "yo baby take off your pants" a common phrase in every sexual predators vocabulary

:laugh:

I'm tired of hearing all about online sexual predators on the news. I believe the matter is blown out of proportion.

To paraphrase the daily show;

"On the downside, there are a lot of sexual predators on social networking sites. On the upside, there's a lot of sexual prey."

I was toying with the idea of getting a vanity plate that said 'pwnt' or '0wn3d' or something along those lines.

but meh. vanity plates are too expensive, and just look pretentious.

Parents checking their kids IM logs.. what's up with that?

Damn parents should keep their nose out of other people's conversations. If I caught my parents looking over my shoulder I'd go medieval on their asses

More like the kids should use something like portable GAIM (with the encryption extension installed and enabled) logging to a hidden volume on an AES 256 bit encrypted usb drive.
