Please parents understand no matter who your child is they are at risk of these predators. I am 16 I know this so please listen. Under no circumstances is it wrong for you to walk by as often as you want to check on your kids when they are on the internet. Nothing they do on that internet should be PRIVATE! They can flirt they can have fun but for no reason should they be allowed to have a web cam! That is crazy! If they want to talk to friends they know what they look like already, that cam is only for bad. I personally know this. I go on these chat sites, I used to have many pen pals in the past. Now when I go one the first thing they ask is age, location, and gender. It's not hello anymore parents. Then they start asking if you could send them pictures and things like that. Watch your teens. The nicest children get caught into these things I know this. The sweetest kids are still in danger. You might think that your kid knows better but as a teen I know sometimes kids do things to spite you and it is hard to understand but try parents. A child should be on the internet for chatting with friends, homework, and games. Please as a teen I know, please watch your teens. I have seen my friends go out and find people they see on the internet and date them. My frind was 15 he was 45. She was an -A student she was nice and smart. I asked her why she did it and she said because her parents always said it was bad, but they ticked her off so they don't understand her so they can't possibly know him! WHAT!!! Please parents know what is best for your teens you don't have to be their friend please keep a close eye on them, it is hard sometimes for us to grasp the fact that parents know what's best. So please every parent out their, if you love your kids, keep a close eye on them.
