The issue of whether law enforcement officials should use social media tools to find clues about teens' lives is kind of a no-brainer. If it's out there, then why not, right? I am always a little bit confounded when students are upset that they can be held accountable for what they say or post on social networking sites; after all, even when privacy settings are working their hardest, this is still a public space.
The other day, I was interviewed by one of our local TV news outlets about law enforcement retrieving information from Facebook and text messages to piece together the story an incredibly sad case of a teen suicide/homicide. Yes, I actually said "no-brainer" in the interview. Here's the story:

I'll weigh in again on this later. I have a fantastic story to relate about a speaking engagement I did with the Center for Child Protection in Austin, Texas, earlier this year.
