Internet Stalkers a Danger

The acting attorney general and his cyber computer cops visited Kingsley Middle School this afternoon. The group talked to students about how to spot on-line predators. Harvey warned students to never give out any personal information and says that giving out something as simple as a phone number could allow a molester to find out where kids go to school or where they live.
“These predators can do it from the privacy of their own homes. They don't have to stalk schoolyards any longer. They can go to these teenage chat rooms and use enticing language and offers of modeling careers or singing careers,” he said.
Experts say parents should be aware of what their children are doing on-line. They should use parental control and regularly check their children's e-mail. Another meeting was held last evening for parents.
