The Dangers of Myspace
It’s a trolling ground for unseemly characters of all varieties, as yet another report today makes quite plain:
Police are investigating how a convicted sex offender got five boys to ride around with him in the middle of the night in Nashville last weekend. Police say Michael Wayne Ingram may have met one of the boys through a MySpace social networking page on the Internet. Hermitage patrol officers stopped Ingram shortly after midnight Saturday because he was driving recklessly on Stewarts Ferry Pike, police said. After the officers pulled the car over, they found five boys, ages 12 to 13, in the car with Ingram, who was convicted of raping a boy in 1991. Ingram, 39, was so intoxicated that he could barely stand and officers were unable to give him a series of field-sobriety tasks, according to a report.
It’s not safe out there in Myspace land.
