These google map stuff are cool but scary too.. like big brother's watching your every move. If your kid posts his/her address anywhere online.. or their school and parent's name.. a less than desireable type might be able to translate that information to phone number and address.. google.. and find your home... then stalk.

Or, if you mention online that you are taking the family on a vacation.. pray your email/handle can't be traced back to your home address. It's like an invitation to robbery.
