Do You Really Know Who Your Kids Are Talking To Online?

We hear about it all of the time.  We see it on television.  We read about it.  Men arrested for having sex with underage girls that they met via the internet.

In a recent case, a man in his fifties but pretending  to be in his early twenties, met and began an online relationship with a fourteen year old  he met online.  At first, the girl would perform sex acts for him on video.  This led to sexual intercourse.

In another case, a man in his forties met a sixteen year old girl online.  They began an online relationship but set up a meeting to have sex.  When he arrived, he was greeted by an undercover officer who had been posing as the sixteen year old.

With so many networking sites such as Twitter, Craigslist, Myspace, and Facebook, cases like the two mentioned above are becoming a common occurrence.

Know what your kids are doing on their computers.  Make sure that you have the ability to monitor their activities so that you know who they are talking to and what they are talking about.

If you find yourself in any situation that involves an underage girl or boy, you can be charged with a sex crime and if convicted, be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life.  Your picture will be posted on the Megan’s Law website allowing anybody to know your exact whereabouts as well as the exact sex crime(s) you were convicted of.
