Stats about the affects of online predators

25% of children have been exposed to unwanted pornographic material online. If you think about this stat, that is one in four kids have been exposed to unwanted porn from online. Another stat is one in 33 youth received an aggressive sexual solicitation in the past year. This is saying that a youth has recieved phone calls from someone telling them to meet them somewhere and sent the the victim unwanted gifts or money. We need to protect our youth and children from these disgusting people. When I look at these stats, I think about how dangerous our world is, even online. We arent even safe in our own homes, even on our own computer. Adults need to watch what their children do online. Keep track of who they are talking to and what sites they visit. The parents also have to trust their children in making the right decisions. Tell them not to talk to anyone online that they havent met in person. If adults do just these couple of things, their children will be much more protected, and smarter about what they do online.
