- Amos, Deborah . "Online With a Sexual Predator" ABC News. Aug. 14. ABC News. 9/28/13 <http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=130735&page=1>.
This article gives stories about children who have been victims of online predators, and talks about how predators target children, with the statistic of 4,500 REPORTED cases of predators using chat rooms. This article is written by a credible source and people who know about the topic because it was written by a journalist who did research and interviewed families of victims of online predators. I think this is news that needs to be known to everyone of all ages because technology is introduced to children at such young ages, they need to be taught how to be safe right off the bat. This is a very current and up-to-date article as it was written on August 14,2013.
This website provides parents information to
keep their children safe online, as well as points to tell their children to
keep themselves safe, such as to never respond to strangers' messages or download pictures from the Internet. I think this is
great information to tell children because if they are taught this at home,
they will be ready to be responsible chat room users. The information on this
site is provided by students at the University of California who have studied advance
topics in human sexuality.
This video shows what happens when a student, or in this case someone posing as a student, meets someone online, and uncovers their true intentions. This video is provided by Dateline, which is a very credible source since they perform stings on predators all the time. I think the information in this video needs to be taught to children early on so they are very aware of who they actually could be talking to.
This video shows what goes on in a child’s head
when they are in a chat room and shows what goes on in the predator’s
head. It shows the young girl saying that the older person she is talking to really "gets" her, unlike the boys her age, and shows that the predators can be very manipulative for that reason. This video is something that
students need to see so when they are in chat rooms, they are very careful
about whom they talk to. This video was
presented by the Ad Council, so it was presented with credibility.
