Beware Online Predators
There is something very frightening going on that most parents don't know about.  While most people do realize that there are internet predators, they really  don't understand how many and what kind of organized groups they hang out in.  The fact is that there are pedophiles and sex offenders all over the internet.  Many of these sex offenders and pedophiles are very proud of their actions and  thoughts; in fact, there are groups of these offenders trying to change laws in  order to be able to indulge their sexual desires. Most of them are convicted  criminals and travel in circles of other convicted criminals – doing what? They  are looking for vulnerable children online. This is a terrifying thought, isn't  it? As parents, you need to be very proactive to keep your children safe. Here  are some important tips to keep your kids safe online.
 
 • Do not allow your children to post pictures of themselves online. Do not post  pictures of your children on any social networking sites. Predators have been  known to take pictures from online albums and post them on pedophile websites. 
 
 • Pay very close attention to the people that your children communicate with  online. Many pedophiles and sex offenders try and lure children into  conversation. According to many experts, pedophiles will speak to a child or  adolescent for weeks or months before trying to set up a meeting with them.
 
 • Should you find a suspicious person is e-mailing, chatting or instant  messaging your teenager or child, you should find out who it is. There are some  very easy ways to do this.
 
 The first thing you should do is visit one of the websites that allow you to  perform an instant background check on someone – even with just their e-mail  address. One of these websites is www.reverserecords.org. With this website, you  can enter an e-mail address and find out if that person has ever been convicted  of any sort of crime. You will also find out their name, address and phone  number along with local and nationwide arrest and conviction information. This  will tell you if you should be worried about this person that your child is  speaking to. Obviously, if it is an adult, you should be nervous. There is no  reason for an adult to chat, message or e-mail a child that they have met  online. 
 
 Should you find that the person you are searching has been convicted of a crime,  especially a sex offender crime; you should report them to your local police as  well as your FBI immediately. A large percentage of sex offenders will commit  another crime, talk to another child, view pictures of children online and many  more horrifying things. Reporting these people to the proper law authorities is  imperative. They are violating the law if they are talking to your child. Check  them out. Find out who they really are with the method explained above. Make  sure your child is safe. Unfortunately, a parent cannot be too careful if they  want to keep their children safe from harm.
