Online Predators - The Media Show

You've probably seen ads saying one in five children is sexually solicited online. Well, the ad campaign is lying about its statistics. We get serious and talk about the problems with keeping kids offline because of our fear of predators.

TO FREAKING OUT PARENTS. THE STRANGER

DANGER IS REAL, BUT YOU FIRST LOOK OUT

FOR PREDATORS YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE.

@SportyGirl2112 Honey, you need to get the facts straight. Kids are much more likely to be abused by *people they actually know* -- family members, friends, neighbors, etc. People don't talk about that; they just want you to be afraid of the world and the Internet. What we're pointing out is that it's *just not likely* that kids will be hurt by an online stranger. Fear makes people limit kids' opportunities. Kids are smart -- they know to tell an adult when they hear from a predator.
