Response to the cartoon on page 227 of Writing Arguments.

The instructor asks to write a strong thesis statement for the cartoon's argument. How did you figure out the claim being made?
Darien Times published a political cartoon by Sven Van Assche. The author tells us about the polemic regarding child safety and the accessibility to chat rooms. Thus, innocent conversation of young children and teenager can prompt kidnappers to find with ease their next target. Sadly many victims are providing information as addresses, stratus, family activities and other relevant hints to commit a crime. For example, the audience will accuse the parents by not using parental control in their computers at home; moreover, are other places that this child can have Internet access like their peers houses, libraries even their own portable computers. By the other hand, the other portion of the audience and parents of victims go against the chat rooms, online friend finders and more sites where the same youngster publishes pictures of properties, self portraits and other source for the abductors and child molesters to strike. Finally, in actuality the majority of these online sites have policies to guaranty the confidentiality of the user, and parents are more aware of what their children are doing or going online. This is a team work where all of us need to open ears and eyes and reinforce that communication part with our young community to reduce the numbers or murders, sexual abuse and missing children in our cities, states, countries. This is a worldwide concern that is been taking care of and have no time for distractions or procrastination.
