Hey All.
Well recently my 14 year old sister has had some issues on the popular site Facebook, and i thought i should raise parents awareness of this kind of behaviour on popular sites such as myspace and facebook.
As even if your profile is set to private
on these sites you can still be messaged by other people and your profile picture seen, and it is easy for people to target young people.
My sister has had many scammers emailing her, asking for money, men from russia telling her how beautiful she is, how sometimes life isn't fair blah blah blah and roped her into being friends with them only then to be as subtle as possible and start talking sexual with her, and she is only 14.
When it got to the stage of her being accually scared, and not understanding what he was talking about as when she didn't cooperate he started to abuse her and use things she told him against her did my 14yo sister accually let mum know.
It can be so easy for people to get into our teenagers heads over the internet and i really think parents need to be more aware and crack down on this as it opens our children to hurt.
Anyways thats jsut my piece.
Cheers
