You've seen the news reports on TV. Grown men show up for sexual encounters with children and young teenagers-after "meeting" them on Internet Web sites or chat rooms. The kids don't understand the risks they're taking. But the grown men do. They live for the sleazy meetings, spending hours...or weeks...arranging the details. They are sexual predators. Parents, guardians and family members worry about how to protect their kids from these people. But the popularity of the Internet makes that protection difficult. Online safety isn't black and white. Bad people can use legitimate Web sites to recruit or "groom" victims; and the predators lie so smoothly that the kids don't realize what's happening until it's too late. This book uses actual transcripts from undercover investigations of sexual predators to give you practical knowledge of how these villains operate. It follows the experiences of real people-real children-so that you know what to look for in a child or an Internet "friend" to cut off "chats" before they lead to abuse.
