This is old news, but I still give it a Bullshit tag.

Can't child molesters simply use phones, walkie talkies, or chat rooms to contact children? I suppose it would be cheaper than buying a Nintendo DS.

It's the fact that the enitre story is plain idiotic.

"Imagine your kid riding with you in the back of a car down a high way. Your kid is playing the DS. A child molester in the car next to it sees your kid, and gets onto picto chat and talks to them.



First, the kid HAS to be on picto chat, or none of this can happen. I seriously doubt every kid is on picto chat when in a car ride by himself. Next, the child molester CANNOT drive down a highway, look at the kid, and talk to him on his DS WHILE driving 60 mph. The people who write this stuff are the dumbest people in the world, next to grocery store customers.

Yes, you have a point. However, I think the people that authored the text are *** that the child molesters won't be doing this while driving. I do see your point about children not being on pictochat very often. Rather they would likely be playing their game.
