Dabest asked: Hi, I would like feedback about online relationships. I play a very popular game called runescape. I am sure that some of you have heard of this RPG game before….
I have many friends on runescape that I occassionally talk to, about lvs, armor, different aspects of the game itself. However there is this one girl who I am becoming really attached to…I have spoken with her for about three weeks now and we just click really well. I am aware of the fact that it could be a trap and it could really be a sexual predator however she seems very legit and nice and truthful..I have let my guard down and I am beginning to really really like her, I know she feels the same way..We have exchanged email addresses and myspaces. She has given me her phone number although I have not called it yet since my phone is out of commission. She sent me a picture of her along with where she goes to school. We are becoming steadfast friends. We have been in great arguments on Runescape. For me, it is more than just a game, it is a chance to connect with someone who iI am geographically unable to meet in person. I think she is beginning to grow on me…I am afraid that if she is not who she says she is, I hope she is…than I would be heart broken. I have already become attached, I am vulnerable,…is this dangerous?

Please persuad me to make the right desicion in order to help me keep myself safe from online predators and PERVES.

Costa asked:
My little sister is starting to get to that age where she likes getting on Myspace and talking all the time on yahoo. Now I went through that stage but the whole internet predator thing was not so big, now with cyber-bulling and pethofiles (sp?) roaming the internet like no other I can’t help but to worry about her well being. I recently saw a video on the teenage girl who commited suicide over the horrible comments and I was shocked, but I also saw at the end of the video some usefull links to some sites that offer programs to regulate what she is doing online. Now my questions are: Does anybody know what these sites are? Are the trustworthy? Do they work? And am I really destroying her privacy?
Sfdfe E asked: im 20 years old, nearly 21. ive been with this guy since 06. i adore him. we talk online, phone, or web everyday.
ive met him twice already without my parents knowing because they are super strict and always tell me theyd never trust anyone online. even when i was younger, they would tell me, make sure you dont talk to someone you dont know.. theyd monitor who i was talking to, etc.
but im old enough to know who is a predator and who is not. anyway, i love him and im positive he will be the one i will marry. we met again weds, and thursday at my college and since i live only 10 mins from college, i live with my parents.. so, today, friday, i let them meet him. i introduced him as a friend, but then after he left. i invited him over and hes on his way, but my parents still think hes a friend and distrust him… thinking hes a wise guy or w/e… and yeah, hes not
so how do i break it to them? hes taking a taxi from his hotel… what should i do??
anyone ever done anything like this before?

If so, I wll pray for you. I will also pray that people learn to remember that not everyone believes the same and to attack without reason is pointless unless you are the one being attacked. I will pray that the burdens of the innocent suffering are eased and that with so much technology, maybe the other 99% of nonmaniacal people can learn to live together in harmony with each other while respecting each other’s beliefs. Do you condemn terrorism on all sides as well? I do and support others who do. Please pray for me as well that I am successful in bringing justice to the innocent women and children who have been harmed, possibly murdered, by online predators.
♣♥Gen♥♣ asked:
My friend talks to online predators, and yet her mom doesnt really watch what she is really doing. But I’m the one who cares, and my friend doesnt get a clue that she is talking to online predators. I did look on some websites and did a little research on online predators. I have discovered that my friend is on the computer for hours straight and she wastes her entire time talking to people she has never met in contact (face to face). I’m worried about her because…
WHAT IF SHE GETS KIDNAPPED AND KILLED OR SEXUALLY HARASSED???? =’(
Also, my friend even posted up a porn picture on Photobucket (the bad parts are covered) for all to see (which could attract online predators), which is a picture of two people naked making out in a pool (ICK!).
Joe Shmoe asked:
I mean I know that the minors just work for nbc and aren’t really the person online, but in that kind of situation wouldn’t the minor be partly at fault. I mean if the minor invites the predator over to have sex, isn’t this illegal also? Sex with a minor should be a two way street: both the minor and the adult must work to make sure it doesn’t happen.
T.M asked:
i saw this website on tv one time and went to it but i cant remember what it is.
it shows how dangerous online predators are and shows conversations tween them and police officers pretending to be little children.
kstorey2010 asked: She has a major with problem with sites like myspace, myyearbook, etc. I have found pictures of her on my parents computer and the pictures are literally facing down her top.
Who knows what other types of pictures she has posted, because she has stolen our mother’s camera several times and hadn’t returned it for days at a time, and later pretending she never had it to start with.
The thing is, is she’s giving boys that she meets online her cellphone number and where she is. I have had someone look into her page, and she gives every detail imaginable. Including these pictures which i suppose are probably really revealing.
I’ll probably get the answer of tell your parents. And i already have, i have come here as a last resort. I may also get the answer of block the sites already did. But she continues to get on at friends houses.
There are also very r-rated text messages on her phone that she sends to these guys that she claims to have known at somepoint but all their numbers are out of state. These texts include details to clothing she claims to be wearing, to try and turn these guys on. Who knows if one of these are a sexual predator waiting to claim a victim.
When i told my parents, she denied it completely and began to cry her eyes out. She says i’m trying to ruin her life when i decided to block the site from her being able to get on. And she said that i have to give her the password, because my mom gave her permission to get on the sites (i do not believe that, because not even i am allowed to go to sites like that).
I am 17 and i know the dangers of the internet, and i only use myspace to keep in contact with friends around me, but i think she uses it for all the completely wrong reasons.
so what do you think i should do about this?
