# Perceptions of Safety in Social Networks

On Monday, an interview I did in August with Lexi Ramage of Youth Voices, on the topic of [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com), [MySpace](http://www.myspace.com) and parent and teen perceptions of safety aired on WAMU, a Washington, DC NPR Affiliate. You can hear the full interview by visiting Lexi’s page at Youth Voices at [http://yv.wamu.org/students/2007/08/lexi.php](http://yv.wamu.org/students/2007/08/lexi.php) and clicking on one of the three links to the story in various audio formats.
