wiredsafety.org is the world's largest online safety and help group

The operative term here is "online." No one can molest your child online, or kidnap your child online. They can only do that offline. So it's much easier to avoid than people think. Just teach your child never to meet anyone they know online, offline. Most of the cases where this happens, children willingly meet strangers offline. And that's a parenting issue, not an Internet one.

And although even one child is too many, this happens very infrequently - based upon what we know, fewer than two thousand child molesters who lured or attempted to lure a child online have been arrested (most of whom are found guilty).
