PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR CHILD'S ONLINE ACTIVITY! IT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THEIR LIVES!

If you're a child and it makes you mad that there are people out there that actually give a damn and notice how atrocious the internet can be and how MANY children and teens are affected by it then you're obviously so immature and naïve you can't see how often it happens. If you are an adult and not a predator but for some reason have a problem with this video, you need to wake up. All this video is saying (if you are a parent of an internet-using child) is to CARE and KNOW about what your child/teen is doing online as well as offline. I am not going to sugarcoat it for you. There are millions of predators online! They use the internet to look for gullible people and a lot of the time, those people are very young. It is time more people realize that. If you send comments with nothing but profanity and childish nonsense, it will NOT be accepted. Grow up! If you disagree with this video that is totally up to you, but that does not make what it is about not real!




Kids and online sexual predators. Where are the parents?!


Most parents ignore it because either they haven't got a clue how many sick and disgusting sex offenders there are on line looking for a young victim or they actually think that there is no way their child is that naive that they would trust someone online so much they'd give out their phone number, picture, home address, etc.

The fact is, you do not know for sure do you? I see many young people with their phone numbers/home address out in the open on myspace and facebook so the whole world can see. Many teens have multiple *secret* myspaces and facebooks (the ones their family cannot see because if they could then they would see what the child/teen is really up to) Does anyone wonder WHY? There cannot be a logical reason for it. It is ridiculous. Why do so many parents turn their nose up @ the dangerous things their child could be getting into? Some people may think just because they've never heard of a kid getting kidnapped/hurt/killed by someone they met online so that means it is impossible ::::: NEWS FLASH::::: It HAS happened! More than ONCE! More than TWICE! More than THREE TIMES! More than ENOUGH times to the point, where it should make parents realize that it's not much different than letting your child talk to strangers at the mall or in a park. The only difference is you can't see that person online. They can tell you anything they want and many are slick with enough convincing
Information so even sometimes adults fall for their lies. There are many kidnapping cases where the teen victim "fell in love" with the person they chatted with online and ran away with them. Those people are usually much older than the victim.

If you have kids and they use the internet, do you supervise them? Do they know what links not to click on, and what files not to download? Do you know everyone that they interact with online? Do you know how many screen names/emails/profiles your child has? Do you know that there are other social networking sites besides facebook and myspace? Do your kids know more about computers than you do? (This is usually the case) Educate yourself! Go to pervertedjustice.com and read all of the articles about how many young kids have chatted, met and gotten raped by some sadistic psycho they met online!

I am sick and tired of people telling me that it's "no big deal" when a 12, 13, 14 year old is chatting with a total stranger online. When will it be a big deal? When they meet that "15 year old" boy (AKA 45 year old ex-con) in person?
Do you let your 2-year-old play in highway traffic?

  • it is true that there are predators online. however the fact is that this is sensationalized in the media. the #1 most likely person to sexually attack your child is the child's stepfather. the #2 is a sibling of the child, the #3 is the father of the child, the #4 is a friend or close family member of a parent of the child, the #5 is the child's school teacher, the #6 is the child's pasture or priest. at a distant 7 is a stranger to the child's parents, and very few of those are from the web.

  • @greycloud24 The whole point is that it does happen. A lot of times when there's a teen runaway it is usually with someone they met online. When I read stories about kids like Kacie Woody, I can't believe there isn't more of a push for online safety and education. Even back then. Go to the Perverted Justice website. Read the stories on convictions of online predators meeting kids on facebook, twitter and even neopets. Everything you posted is true but please don't exclude cyber predators.

  • The internet is overall a good place, if it were not for a few bad apples. Which is a real shame.
