		<title>Family-friendly social networking site accuses popular sites of profit before responsibility</title>
		<description><![CDATA[EasySite.com, a subscription-based family-friendly social networking site, has called out the likes of Facebook and MySpace for putting revenue and profit before taking responsibility for the privacy and safety of their users.

		<description><![CDATA[Free play is a vital part of a child&#8217;s development, and children of future generations could enter adulthood lacking vital life and social skills because of a lack of it.
