"Help Mom" author on O'Reilly Factor

Katharine DeBrecht, author of the Help! Mom! series of children's books, is scheduled to appear on Fox's O'Reilly Factor tonight. She'll be discussing how children are using MySpace to post provocative pictures where they try to emulate celebrities in sultry poses.

Kudos to Katharine -- this is an important issue. While I would caution against calling for government involvement in policing sites like MySpace, it is critical for parents to be aware of how their kids are influenced by the mass media is influencing and in turn use the new media.
