Internet predators

Sexual exploitation of children

Online predatorsOne in four US teen girls reported that they met strangers off the Internet. One in seven boys admitted they did as well. While most of these “Internet friends” turn out to be another teen or preteen, that’s not always the case. Unfortunately, children are now dying at the hands of their Internet child molesters and, not all sexual exploitation of children occurs offline.

They may have thought they were meeting a cute fourteen year old boy or girl, but they knew they didn’t know the person in real life.
