Is The Internet Too Dangerous?
I think that all predators are pure garbage and, should be hog tied if we were able to catch up to all of them. But, the behavior some of our youth display nowadays is extremely shameful. I'm not saying that it's all their fault that predators are online doing the things they do, but they make it real easy for them to live out their sick, unhealthy, unnatural obsession with our youth. Because, if the sickos weren't being fed obscene conversation, pictures, video or, live webcam shows then there would be nothing for them to see. Then, they will have to get their jollies off someplace else.Some of today's youth are extremely candid, provocative and so willing to explore avenues some grown-ups can't even begin to fathom. True, you can make it so that your children aren't able to access certain sites or chatrooms without your permission but what happens once they're in and you're gone? It seems as though the children become lost in a world of their own, and the childhood rules of don't talk to strangers go right out the window. Sometimes, there's the case whereas, the child doesn't get the attention at home that they so need or desire.
In some cases, parents seem to think the time they spend with their children is enough, but in reality it isn't. Life today is so fast paced, and people often have multiple things to do, but there just don't seem to be enough hours in the day. So, therefore the time that is given to their child may not be enough for him or her. Maybe, for instance, your child had a bad day, need some advice or just want to tell you what a good day they had, but you don't have time to sit down and listen. That can probably make them feel unloved, lonely, or make them feel like what they do just isn't that important.
Then, right away they just go on the computer and, into the chatroom, because they know there will always be someone there who will listen to them. So, maybe they tell the person they're chatting with about their day whether good or bad. The predator immediately feeds off of what the child is saying and tells them exactly what they want to hear. Maybe, the child wanted to tell their parent about the game they won at school that day, but the parent didn't have time to listen. So, that person soaks up all the enthusiasm from the child and, play along asking, "So, what team did you beat?" The child tells them who, then where, and so on.
All of a sudden, he has enough information to find out where the child is. Then, maybe he suggests that they celebrate. Of course, all the while the child is under the impression that another child is on the other end of that conversation, or maybe they know it's a grown-up and feels that they are more in tuned or cares more for them than their parent/parents. So, they agree to meet and the rest is history. But, though that's not always the case sometimes it is, and parents need to spend more time with their children showing interest in the little things that interest them.
