Eight of my friends and myself have been victims of “Sexual Abuse” so we well know the devastation that it causes. (1 is in a mental institution, 1 lived on the streets for 2 years [his parents are wealthy], 2 have attempted suicide, 3-4 are or have been addicted to drugs and or alcohol).
You've heard the saying, what you see is what you get. In the world of the Internet, that could not be more false. In reality it is not what you see that is disturbing, it's what is hidden behind closed doors. One of the best kept secrets for Internet Predators is to keep the parents unaware of what their kids are doing. Don't be misled, you are dealing with professionals and you need the tools to fight back.
Are Internet Predators what we typically stereotype them as? No! They are the Priests, the Policeman, the Mailman, the Electrician, the Teacher, the 20,30,40,50 year old etc. This knows no boundaries, or race, religion, education, or other preconceived notions.
