Social Networks And Paedophiles

It is hard to be sure who you’re talking to. Anyone can post whatever they like on an online profile. They can post fake photographs, advertise fake products and lie about where they come from and even who they are. Thus, a child can’t be sure of the information they are seeing when they use such social networking websites. Additionally, consider the information on a child’s social networking profile. This leads to one of the more serious and heartbreaking dangers online: paedophiles and other people who want to hurt or take advantage of children online. Because you can’t see the people talking to your child in chat rooms, via instant messaging systems, or through social networking websites, you can not be sure what they look like. A lot of men and women use the Internet as a way to lure children out to meet them. This is how paedophiles find their victims. Additionally, a lot of older men and women use the Internet as a form of free porn. If your child has scantily clad photographs of themselves on the Internet, then adult males and females may use this for less than innocent purposes.
