SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Deleting Online Predators Act of 
2006''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) sexual predators approach minors on the Internet using 
        chat rooms and social networking websites, and, according to 
        the United States Attorney General, one in five children has 
        been approached sexually on the Internet;
            (2) sexual predators can use these chat rooms and websites 
        to locate, learn about, befriend, and eventually prey on 
        children by engaging them in sexually explicit conversations, 
        asking for photographs, and attempting to lure children into a 
        face to face meeting; and
            (3) with the explosive growth of trendy chat rooms and 
        social networking websites, it is becoming more and more 
        difficult to monitor and protect minors from those with devious 
        intentions, particularly when children are away from parental 
        supervision.

Deleting Online Predators Act of 2006 - Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to require schools and libraries that receive universal service support to enforce a policy that: (1) prohibits access to a commercial social networking website or chat room unless used for an educational purpose with adult supervision; and (2) protects against access to visual depictions that are obscene, child pornography, or harmful to minors. Allows an administrator, supervisor, or other authorized person to disable such a technology protection measure during use by an adult, or by minors with adult supervision, to enable access for educational purposes.

Directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to: (1) issue a consumer alert regarding use of the Internet by child predators and the potential dangers to children because of such use, including the potential dangers of commercial social networking websites and chat rooms; and (2) establish a website resource of information for parents, teachers, school administrators, and others regarding potential dangers posed by the use of the Internet by children.
