Lane'sCybertraps for the Youngis a wake-up call to parents to recognize the potentially horrifying consequences of their children's use of the latest electronic gizmos. In a well-organized format, the author demonstrates how children are using computers and mobile phones to bully and harass; to take nude photos of themselves and others, and then send those photos to hundreds; to cheat in school; to steal intellectual property; to purchase tobacco, alcohol and drugs; to commit a variety of crimes — often unknowingly — from identity theft to hacking to invasion of privacy, to libel, defamation, plagiarism and copyright infringement."  —Arthur Vanderbilt II,New Jersey Star-Ledger
