  11. PREDATOR • Characteristics of an On-Line Predator: • Liar: ( Self explanatory ) • Deceiver: His self situation is presented as other than what it is. • Betrayer: He is likely to break trust. • Insecure: He is worried that others will be faithless. • Inconsistent: He will say one thing while doing another. • Lacking Honor: Usually while protesting that he has honor. • Lack of Respect: He will tend to denigrate others. • Transient: He is unlikely to have many long term friends.

  12. PREDATOR • Manipulator: He calculates and contrives for his own benefit to the detriment of his partner. • Secretive: He will tend to cloak himself and his activities. • Charming: If he could not steal your breath away, he would not be a successful hunter. • Selective: He will pick victims carefully, looking for weaknesses and filling those voids completely. • Chameleon: He will appear to fit any need perfectly and adapt to fill any desire. • Lacking in Self Control: Although at times, he may have extraordinary self control and discipline.

In most cases, the sex sites were accessed unintentionally when a child, often in the process of doing homework, used a seemingly innocent sounding word to search for information or pictures.

Have your children show you around the areas they visit. • RULE #2: Supervise all activity on the computer: • Pay attention to the sites your child is viewing and the actions of your child when you enter the computer area.

  23. On-Line Protection • “The best way to assure your children are having positive online experiences is to stay in touch with what they are doing.” • “While children need a certain amount of privacy, they also need parental involvement.” • safekids.com

  30. SURVEILLANCE • It is very hard to violate the trust of your child, it is even hard to have your child violated by a predator. • No one is happy being watched, but it is a necessary evil in an environment that is out of control.
