Catching Online Predators


How can online predators get caught? In many cases dealing with online predators, parents are the ones who call the law enforcements to report the abuse or suspicious behavior their child or child’s friend have encountered online. It is very important for parents to get involved in reporting any suspicious behavior for the sake of protecting the children. Even older teens don’t know what to do when encountered with a rude or sexually invitation from someone online. This is the start of an online predator trying to bait his prey. 

Parents need to know what to do when a child, no matter what the age of the child, is talking about an uncomfortable situation they have experienced online, as well as children need to know what to do when they encounter someone online who is making sexually or inappropriate comments to them. Many online predators will create fake social networking accounts and then spam hundreds of kids with “friend” requests. Online predators know some kids will eventually accept their “friend” request. 

An open line of communication between parents and children is one of the best defenses against the online predators. Combine open communications with a mobile parental control application such as My Mobile Watchdog  will only add to the safety of your child.
