Internet Predators: 5 Facts Parents Need to Know!!!
75% of victims of internet predators are ages 13 to 15. Very rarely are victims younger than this. And most victims, actually 61% of victims, do not come from broken hones, but rather are still living with both their biological parents.
Most victims, about 64%, speak with a predator online for at least one month before meeting face to face with them.
In the vast majority of cases, offenders do not try to pass themselves off as minors: 95% of cases involve grown adult men who tell these kids they are adults. About a quarter of them will shave off a few years on their age, but they still communicate they are adults to the victims.
Most offenders, about 80%, bring up sexual topics with their victims online, and only in 21% of cases do offenders lie about their sexual intentions.
So, to summarize, the picture this paints of the typical sexual predator scenario is a young teen girl or sometimes boy who is going online, talking to strangers, engaging in sexual conversations with mostly adult men they know are adult men. These are cases of criminal seductions, men who are taking advantage of common teenage vulnerabilities where they play on teens' desires for understanding, romance, adventure, and sexual information. This process of luring in these teens is called grooming, and it is a serious and deviant crime.
The good news is that every day millions of teens get online and don't fall into these kinds of traps. A basic first line of defense is teaching kids caution about strangers they meet online. Be firm about not allowing kids to engage in sexual discussions online or use the Internet to portray a sexy image. A lot of kids get in trouble sending or posting provocative photos online.This can not only destroy their reputations later on, but the photos can even be used by others to blackmail them or mark them as a target for predators.
Please don't misunderstand me here: the blame for predation lies squarely on the shoulders of the men who would dare use the Internet as a means to prey on young girls and boys. However, as parents, we should do all in our power to infuse our kids with the confidence they need so they don't search the Internet looking to fill their void left by deep insecurities.
