Think Before you Post 1 ! Once Posted You Lose it!
At any given moment there are over 50,000 online sexual predators surfing social sites looking for victims. • None of their intended targets are over 16 years of age.
Predators not only target children because of their inexperience, but thrive on parents who are also inexperienced.
The Victim When the victim was 14 years old, she was struggling, like many girls her age, with her parents, her self esteem and uncertainty about life. She sat at her computer and decided to visit a Christian chat room. Within minutes, she received an instant message from a man who would devastate her life and the lives of her family members forever more.
The Predator The 39-year-old perpetrator was so skilled at manipulation, that over a period of months, he succeeded in gaining her trust, convincing her that he was the only one who really loved her, and that her parents were the enemy. After 9 months of grooming the victim through computer and phone conversations, the perpetrator moved to Lexington to be with her. The relationship soon became sexual and continued for the next 8 months, until police became involved.
Final Verdict The perpetrator was charged with multiple sex offenses and was sentenced to 11 years in prison. It’s difficult to imagine the effect a crime like this has on a family. On the following slides, are excerpts from the Victim’s Impact Statements submitted to the court on behalf of this young victim?
From the victim’s mother: “He spent nine months grooming her, sucking her into his lies, making her believe that nothing was as important as her, forging a bigger and bigger gap between her and her family.” “Our daughter told us that when she met him face to face for the first time, that he was ugly, fat, and smelled bad, but he had so successfully brainwashed her by then, that it didn’t matter. He told her she was his ‘soul mate’ and that they would get married when she was eighteen.”
From the victim’s father: “She went into a Christian chat room and came out a few hours later with an internet pedophile. This man moved from Oregon to Lexington for the sole purpose of molesting a 14-year-old girl.” “The impact on our family is almost indescribable. My daughter, who was an honor student, is now in a therapeutic institution trying to recover from these events. Instead of spending her second year of high school with her family, she is away from home and will probably be there for a long time.” “For me personally, I cannot sleep at night and as hard as I have tried to protect my daughter, I was unable to protect her.”
From the victim: “He lied to me, manipulated me, and used me for sexual acts. I constantly am thinking of how much I really want to go back and change things. I never would have accepted an instant message from him in the first place. However, the fact of the matter is this: these things did happen, they can’t be changed and I’ll have to live with them forever.” “This person took away my innocence. He stole it from me. I did feel pressured to perform and receive sexual things. I’ll never get that back. He told me he was going to die very soon. That was so emotionally draining. It’s a lot of work to have my heart pulled in 48 different directions all at once. “
From the victim: “When a detective told me I couldn’t talk to him, I literally thought that was the end of the world. I thought he was the only person that cared about me or loved me, I decided to try to kill myself and overdosed on pills.” “It’s very difficult for me to forgive myself for being with him.”
People have hundreds of online friends without realizing that it is the same as giving them a key to their front door. Facebook – What not to post
Think seriously about who are your online friends! • Are you confident your friends have secure sites and protected passwords? • Are you confident they won’t walk away from a public computer without logging off their social site? • Are you confident they don’t share account information with other members of their family? • Do you allow pictures of your family to be taken and uploaded to online sites by your friends?
A Picture is worth 1000 words But not your life…
Digital Law • Definition: The legal rights and restrictions governing technology use. • Are students using technology the way it was intended? • Are students infringing on others’ rights by the way they use technology? • Should students using digital technologies be accountable for how they use digital technologies?
What is one of the biggest driving distractions today? TEXTING !!
47 % of adults surveyed text while driving 34 % of teens text while driving
SEXTING Have an open conversation with child about “sexting” or “texting” and how once media is sent it can’t be retrieved. Megan’s Story
Remember, youth may not have the developmental skills to anticipate the consequences of their actions. Children may not fully realize that their best friend in middle school may be their worst enemy in high school. Teach the consequences of trusting people not to share their pictures or texts.
