Internet Predator on "Safe" Site
The story of Kacie Woody, as it is offered at clintonherald.com, is a tragic one.
A 13-year-old girl from Arkansas, she was murdered by an Internet predator she met online, who found out where she lived and kidnapped her from her own home.
But, Kacie didn't meet this man at Myspace, the popular social networking site that has recently received negative press.
She met him in a Christian chat room, and had innocently provided her new "friend" with personal details of her life.
This serves as a chilling reminder that it isn't just Myspace and facebook that parents need to worry about. An Internet predator could be in any chat room, pretending to be anyone. Kacie's killer had claimed to be 18 years old, making it easier for her to talk to him about her life.
It's difficult, but parents need to be more vigilant than ever. If your child has any access to the Internet at all, they could be approached by a predator.
This is why WebWatcher was designed by Awareness Tech: it features email recording, instant message recording, website recording and content filtering, all incorporated into a single program that is also invisible while running.
No matter where they go online, WebWatcher will see it.
