Predators are master manipulators

Online predators seek out both boys and girls of all ages. They make connections with their victims, usually seeking out victims that are very vulnerable for someone to understand their situation. Once the predators gain the trust of the victims they are stalking, they will often send pornographic images, send mail to the victim, send gifts and if the victim denys their gifts; the predators threaten to tell their parents that they were viewing online porn.
