Letter to anyone who’s been solicited/traumatized, or parents of teens by somebody they met online,

Do you know why you were solicited online? Well because you were naive to the minimal dangers of the internet. I say minimal because these dangers could be easily avoided. If you were solicited on Myspace or something similar to that , did you accept somebody as your friend and get to know them well? You probably did. I am not saying there’s a problem with that, but you probably tried to meet the person and/or give them your full name and address. That’s what makes us different; I am not naive enough to give out my address. I given out my name before but a lot of people have my name, so it would be difficult to find me.


Also the person you talked to probably gave you dubious information. So you might think your are talking to 17 year old female, but in reality you could be talking to a 40 year old man waiting to rape you, when the opportunity has ripened. So if you are asking yourself. How I prevent a predator from aggressively, violently, sadistically, brutally attacking me. I’d say just think before you act. It could change your world.


In the down run if you’re really scared of somebody soliciting you, your safest bet is to not have a Myspace. He are other things you should you know while on the internet; don’t give out too much information to your online friends. If you’re a minor with a Myspace, then you probably shouldn’t give out personal information. Here is some information for the parents of teens; is your child bad? Then you probably shouldn’t let them have a profile. You should always know what your child is doing, it could save their life. If your child was breastfed, they’re probably smart enough to handle their own profile, just like me! Your child can probably have a Myspace around 7th grade. Finally, did you ever tell your child not to talk to strangers, if not… you should.

10 things to prevent getting attacked by a predator.

1. Don’t give out too much info
2. If you really want to meet with the person meet at a public place w/ a lot of people
3. If you’re really scared of sexual predator, just don’t have a Myspace, imeem, facebook, etc.
4. You can be friends with people you don’t know, just don’t talk to them often.
5. Don’t lie.
6. Don’t tell the truth
7. Don’t do drugs
8. Go outside
9. Get a job.
10. be smart

Myspace....

All the articles about myspace just talked about how they were at least 29k registered sex offenders on myspace. It also talked about how adolescents are at risk from these sex offenders. These numbers of registered sex offenders on my space did not surprise me because I bet they’re a lot men who can’t get sex from Adult people so they have to resort to minors, I as well watch the show “Dateline NBC’s To Catch a predator” and that’s where all the sex offenders come from, like myspace, yahoo, etc.

I personally don’t feel the kids are at risk because on Myspace, if you put your age as 14 or 15 Myspace automatically makes your profile private to people, who aren’t your friends on the site. All the kids on myspace should know not to talk to people that they don’t know, it’s like the first thing your parents tell you “Don’t talk to strangers”. I say if these kids are too stupid to get solicited by a sex offender and their parents are not involved in their kids life to even know what they are doing are their own computer, then they deserve to get kidnapped by a sexual predator, raped and what not.

I also think Myspace shouldn’t be able to take registered sex offenders off of Myspace because of what they done in the past, they “might” be changed people. Myspace might as well take everybody who they find is a threat to Myspace, which probably be more than half of their community. Besides there are probably millions of unregistered sex offenders on Myspace, so getting rid of the registered sex offenders, they might be making it easier for the unregistered sex offenders to get to minors
