Teens Buy Anabolic Steroids From MySpace?

It may seem like a while back, but in September 2007 when breaking news announced the news that 120 arrests were make in regards to illegal drug-trafficking of steroids on MySpace. A teen could easily buy illegal anabolic steroids online with just a click of the mouse.

That was disturbing to say the least. When you think of someone pushing drugs to our teens in any form we cringe.

In one of the largest stings in American history, over 120 arrests were made. Reported now to be one of the largest anabolic steroid drug busts of all times. Thank God someone was monitoring something somewhere, considering our children flock to the social networks to be none other than, social!

In fact all the social networks are stomping grounds for predators, so parents and teens be warned! We worry enough about our teens going to and from school, home, events, and to friends. We shouldn't have to worry about our teens sitting quietly in their rooms at their computers. No parent wants to think their teen can buy anabolic steroids in secret anywhere, much less the net.

Teenagers do buy anabolic steroids, not just at the gyms, locker rooms or school sporting events, they can buy anabolic steroids online. The fact that the predators make it easy is indeed, more than disturbing!

Five men were charged in the Connecticut bust. These men are suspected of selling steroids on MySpace. How awful, if true. Of course these men knew that MySpace was a popular teen hangout so they weren't trying to sell to adults were they?

If true, then the intentions of these 5 men were to sell drugs to mainly teenagers. Just the thought of it runs a shiver up my spine.

MySpace.com is a very popular teen network and always has been. MySpace started as a popular network for musician's and all teens love music. Eventually MySpace became over-run by the teen market, and still is. These alleged crimes, taking place on MySpace has the world taking a whole new look at internet security.

Teens have it rough anyway. As if puberty and budding love-lives isn't enough for a teen to handle, they have to live through peer pressure, much of it centered around drugs. It's a literal sin that someone would intentionally seek a teen drug market. "Wow!', is my only reply to that statement! No words can describe how this makes me feel. We would be interested in knowing your comments as well.

In the case of this particular indictment only one person charged was from Pennsylvania. The others three charged in this case were three from the State of Arizona. They were caught trafficking raw powder from China into the USA. Once the powder arrived they are alleged to have manufactured the anabolic steroids and then selling them on the black market through MySpace.

Once the illegal steroids were made into anabolic steroids they were sold on MySpace directly marketing to the teen market. It's satisfactory to know that this illegal activity was spotted and being dealt with.

How is it that someone can be so malicious as to sell drugs to teens?

Teens, or anyone for that matter, can buy anabolic steroids anywhere. Anyone that wants drugs will find them. Our statement is always clear. Only use anabolic steroids or any controlled substance, under the care of direction of a licensed Doctor.
