Dateline show on Online Predators

[Red]

Jesus Christ, that's so upsetting....especially since people of authority, or the cloth, are just as likely to be as pervy as the general skid one would normally imagine them to be. I saw something like that awhile back with someone posing as a 13 year old girl wanting to lose her virginity and an absurd amount of waaay older guys showed up. Ugh.

Damn. And THIS is what I thought this thread was going to be about.

My mom watched this. I was not on the computer that night...

Young girls AND boys. It was to show parents that they need to keep closer watch on who their kids talk to on the internet. Rita did a show on MSNBC about it as well and how to prevent your child from getting lured by these men. The one guy who walked into the house naked just took the cake, I mean, geez. They caught him again, the day after his getting caught nekkid in the house. The rabbi also...eek!

It ws amazing to hear them say, one after another..."This is the first time I've done this." and "I'm seeing psychiatrist about this."

One guy wanted to add a dog to the proceedings. I mean, sick.

No I think what it proved to some people, who for whatever reason didn't know already was that they need to be watching and monitoring more closely what their young kids are doing online...

I am surprised Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and James Dobson didn't show up. I am so glad alot of religeous folk showed up...it speaks multitudes about screwed up some of our society's "pillars of morality" are.

I think when you get into blaming little children, sometimes VERY young for WANTING sex with older men, and not putting the blame on the adult, that's a problem--and to me it seems as if that is what you trying to get across. It proves, or rather reminds, people of the dangers that ARE on the internet. You definetely can't say it's only a problem with the children (although there is obviously some problem there) the problem is with the sexual predators online stalking out children---and if you watch out for that, and parents are more responsible...then you can solve something
