About Sexual Preditors on Line
Last night I watched a program about sexual preditors. I found it absolutley amazing the number of preditors who came to the house supposedly to meet under age children to have sex with them. They were videotaped and confronted with their on line instant messages. When they left the house they were then arrested by the Sheriffs Department. Even they were amazed at the number of arrests they made. This was in California. Now what I wonder is just how many will be caught here in the midwest? Now I don't live in Chicago, but just to the north in Milwaukee.
I really hope some of our law enforcement officials will read this and set up a sting operation similar to that out west just to see how many of these scumbags we can get off the street. This is scary as hell and I hope parents become aware of it and monitor their children's activities over the internet.
First of all Don't let them use a computer in their own rooms unsupervised. Put the computer in the front room or the kitchen where a parent can see what they are doing. Also remember that kids will be sneaky and blank the screen when they think a parent is looking over their shoulder. Just remember that you need to be just as sneaky in order to be sure they are doing the right thing.
A lot of adults are not computer savy. For those who are, it is a good idea to create a separate account for their children. Limit access and also do not allow them to install computer programs without your permission or supervision. If you don't know how to do these things, hire a computer professional to set up your computer, create passwords etc. to protect your children. Be sure to write down the passwords and then lock them away for safe keeping. Believe me if your kids ever find them you will be back to square one all over again.
Remember it is not safe out there. Your kids may be at risk. It is our duty to protect them.
Ain't that the truth?
