Why are people so disgusting. I swear this whole world is going to crap!! My 14 year old neice is visiting and I wanted her to be able to have fun on the computer since she does not get to get on very much at home. Well I registered her a name with aol and put parental controls on it. I entered her age for ages 13 to 15. I am so stupid because I niavely thought it would be safe since I set up all the parental controls.
Well my neice was on the computer while I was watching tv and said that someone Im's her. I said cool. Then a couple of seconds later she says...Aunt Traci waht is a/s/l. I got suspicious and came over and took over the chat. Some guy was trying to get her to email her picture!! I would swear this was a grown man. Well then I go and look at the message boards to see what is going on there and boy did I get an education. I saw things like...."18 year old male/ want to talk to younger girls" and " bi-male wants to talk to 14 year old girls only" and "if your 13 send me your pics"


Thanks Andrea. She is okay but now she is scared to use the computer. I am scared for her to use it to. I mean there are so many ways that pedophiles have of getting people to inoccently give info about themselves. I just don't understand why this is not a bigger issue with our government. I mean If I can be solicited by 5 different people within 5 minutes......
I am so scared now for those teens that have parents not paying attention!!!
Elise and Olivia will both be big sisters!!!

That is disgusting!! I would be ticked too. I do not let my children on the internet unless I or dh is in the room with them and usually I look up what they want to see. I can not believe there are so many sick people in this world. I hope your niece is ok.

When I was pregnat with my first I use to go on a chat board for pregnat teens threw aol . well Most of the girls on there were like 14 and i was 17-18 so one reason i stopped
The second reason i got constant ims from 40 plus men wanting pics and to meet and asking completely perverted stuff ppl are sick
How did these guys get your IM name? I didn't think that was even possible! Scary. Yea, I woke up at 5am one morning and found my 11 year old son chatting on a website called Neopets, which a good web site,but I had told him to go to bed after the movie he was watching and he was chatting with someone that said she was a 12 year old girl, but I told my son that is how sick-os work! He was grounded from the computer for a while. We do keep ours in the living room for this reason.

I can't believe I almost have a teenager!

Your sweet angel sister Caitlin is watching you grow, Megan!

It is so sad Robing that we cannot let our kids enjoy something that could be potentially wonderful. I had dreams of my children being able to get to know kids their own ages from other countries, but I guess it will only remain a dream..sigh.
When I started to get the Im's I had clicked on something called "the lounge" which was a chat room for what I thought were 13-15 year olds. I was only there seconds when I was im'd by someone. I really think children are basically under attack in these places. I am doing some research on what can be done about it.
