A Parent's Guide to Internet Safety- US Federal Bureau of Investigation
While on-line computer exploration opens a world of possibilities for
children, expanding their horizons and exposing them to different cultures
and ways of life, they can be exposed to dangers as they hit the road exploring the
information highway. There are individuals who attempt to sexually exploit children
through the use of on-line services and the Internet. Some of these individuals
gradually seduce their targets through the use of attention, affection, kindness,
and even gifts. These individuals are often willing to devote considerable amounts
of time, money, and energy in this process. They listen to and empathize with the
problems of children. They will be aware of the latest music, hobbies, and interests
of children. These individuals attempt to gradually lower children's inhibitions by
slowly introducing sexual context and content into their conversations.
