A WARNING FOR PARENTS!
Mom and Dad, beware! When your kids are at the computer doing their homework,
be wary of them logging onto inappropriate sites. There are many stories about
perverts who prowl the Web. They take on various poses, lure young people with
misleading stories and promises, and can arrange in-person meetings. They may
even travel to far-away cities or send tickets to youngsters to meet them
elsewhere. While there are some investigators (called syscops) whose job it is
to look for these kinds of perpetrators, unfortunately, there are not enough of
them to stop this growing crime. Watch out for yourself and your kids.
In one of the most riveting TV investigative stories, a reporter in Cleveland
got a 20-something producer to pose as a 15-year-old girl in a chat room. In
just a matter of time, a 40-something guy began to send her lewd sexual
invitations over the computer chat rooms. He arranged to meet her in a park,
where the reporter ambushed him. Though the man denied everything, they followed
him to his car, which he had described to the girl as a white car with a damaged
side mirror so she'd know it was him.
