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.
