MercatorNet update http://www.mercatornet.com ~ Friday, 25 November 2005

Below you'll find this week's highlights from MercatorNet. Tell us what you think. We're keen to get your ideas for improving and expanding the site.
We have also found several interesting articles from other papers from around the world and posted them in our Media Watch column
on our home page, www.mercatornet.com.

And while parents register disapproval, they often fail to take action, says psychologist Patricia Dalton in the Washington Post.
This was sent to us by a sharp-eyed subscriber. If you have leads that you would like to share with other readers, send me
an email. Cheers,
