U.S. Attorney Speaks About Internet Dangers
In an article by montgomeryadvertiser.com, U.S. Attorney Leura Canary speaks about her efforts to protect children from danger, including Internet Predators.
According to Canary, the Internet has led to an explosion in crimes against children, and especially in terms of child pornography, and the online victimization of kids who spend time at social networking sites.
Actually, the two are related. Canary goes on to say that Internet Predators often send children pornographic images as part of the "grooming" process, where they manipulate a naive, overconfident, or lonely child into trusting them.
Internet Predators also use the Internet to find one another, and encourage one another to abuse children.
Erin Runnion, whose 5-year-old daughter was the victim of a sexual predator, puts it best when she reminds parents that no one will solve this problem for them.
This is also why parental control software is so useful.
