GREENSBORO -- "I think certain Web sites could be dangerous, but for the most part it's helpful," said Albert King with Alberta Professional Services.

As Director of Group Homes with the company, King spends a lot of time with the internet generation.

As Chief Law Enforcement Officer of this state and as a parent, Attorney General Roy Cooper sees it as his job to keep that young generation safe when cyber surfing.

"Our kids are on the Internet. They are smart enough to navigate the Internet, but not necessarily wise enough to make the best decisions when they get there," said Cooper.

Tuesday, Cooper spoke at a conference aimed at helping local law enforcement catch predators and pornographers.

“We've organized this task force to put more officers out there online so that we can catch these predators before they have a chance to hurt our kids," said Cooper.

Cooper is also taking aim at social networking sites like MySpace.com.

“These predators go on these social networking sites like MySpace, because they consider it a playground for them. They know that children will be there," said Cooper.

Cooper has introduced legislation that puts tougher penalties on child pornography and would also require parental consent for a child to get on MySpace.

It has passed in the North Carolina Senate and is currently in the State House.

"It won't be a perfect system, just like any other kind of age verification system, but the key is to putting a barrier up to better protect kids on the internet and we think this will be important," said Cooper.
