RE: Why Do People Still Let Their Children Roam Free on the Internet?
This is a real issue. I think most parents are just a little too far removed to understand just how real the threat it. Sex trafficking in particular is real.. they make so much money off of the trafficking that they are even willing to invest years in the grooming process.
Yikes.
It's good that you bring up sex trafficking; I didn't even get that far in my post. You're right that these people will spend a lot of time grooming children. And if for some reason, one child or that child's parents get wise and cut off communication, it probably won't make much of a difference to the predator who is talking to many potential victims at once. A scary thought.
There's a movie on Netflix called The Chosen Ones (2015) that depicts a girl who is entrapped in a prostitution ring by her boyfriend and his family. If you don't mind foreign films (it's in Spanish), I'd recommend it. It's an interesting take on the subject.
It's so awful.. my heart probably can't handle a film on it! It devastates me to hear about.
So glad you weren't sucked into that!
Kayclarity? It's so sad what happened to Amanda Todd in Canada. However, I don't think that only the online predator should have been prosecuted for what he did to her but also the teenage kids who conspired with him to harm this girl. Just because they were minors doesn't mean that they were any less culpable of driving that poor girl to suicide than that online predator over in the Netherlands was.
