I'm sorry you think I don't have the right to warn young people of the danger of the internet. Please feel free to disregard my comments.
As for anyone else who might be interested about internet safety:
Troll - An internet troll is someone who amuses themselves by deliberately creating conflict by starting debates and upsetting people by posting provocative messages in a forum or chat room. It often escalates into online harassment, as the troll will try to rally people on their side to aim their attack on a particular person or persons. If they get called out on their behavior, they will accuse their victim(s) of being the perpetrator. The more grief they can cause, the more they are entertained.
Catfish - Someone who pretends to be someone they’re not using social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue deceptive online romances.
Predator – Sexual predators prey on people (mostly children) online and usually pose as teens when in reality they are teachers, businessmen, students and world travelers ranging in age from 19 to 60.
This may seem like common sense to many, however when adults and kids are desperate for friendship, they will let their guard down. Predators target the vulnerable and look for those who show signs of emotional or psychological dysfunction.
Trolls, predators and catfish always use questionable comments and sensational topics to get as much attention as possible to increase their playing field.
Catfish, extortion, sexual predators, cyberbullying, cyber-stalking and other dangers online are quite common and we need to always make our young people aware of online safety.
Particularly as parents & grandparents, we should make it a priority to not only teach our kids the importance of watching how they interact with others online and respecting wise counsel, but we need to keep our eyes open for these types of criminals to keep our young people safe.
For more tips on cyber safety, you can Google it online or you can even contact your local authorities who I'm sure will have additional information.
God bless!
