Stranger danger on the net

Georgie

Georgie was 13 years old when she fell in love with someone she "met" on the Internet. He said that he was 15 and his name was Johnny.

 «We talked about everything – pop groups, TV programmes, boy-girl stuff. That's how it started," Georgie remembers.

They exchanged photographs: he sent her a photograph that showed the top part of his head, and a little bit of his eyes. He told her it was like that because he had a problem with his com­puter.

They ended up talking on the phone and very soon he asked her out on a date. Luckily, Georgie's mother insisted on going with her. She hid behind a big poster and watched what hap­pened. Young Johnny turned out to be a 47-year-old man.

"When I saw him, I didn't know what to think, because I was shocked," Georgie says. "I thought it was maybe his dad or something. I was scared as well. Then my mum came over and spoke to him. She told him to go."

It took Georgie a few weeks to get over the shock. It was her first love, and no first love should be like this.

Linda

14 -year old Linda T. from California wasn't so lucky. Her online friend, who claimed to be 16, turned out to be a bald 49-year-old man with a criminal record. He lured her to his flat and kept her there for a week. "It was hell," Linda says.

The man was arrested and jailed, but Linda's saga didn't end there. In the following years, she learned who her friends really were and fought her way back from severe depression and bouts of shame and guilt.

"Now, looking back, I can see that there were some warning signs that there might be some sort of problem. But I ignored them," she admits.

She hardly goes to chat rooms at all now: "There's one friend I talk to on-line, but mostly I just use e-mails. And I wouldn't arrange to meet anybody, ever. You don't have to go on the Internet to meet people."

Angela

On March 18th, 2002, Angela M., 19, left her house wearing her best suit and trendy shoes. She had told her friends and co-workers she was meet­ing her on-line friend for the first time, and that was the last anyone saw of her.

Angela had been missing for two weeks when the police found her body in the woods.

Now the police are studying her home comput­er for clues that could lead to her on-line friend and murderer.

2.3.         Советы “How not to have this happen with you”.

Read some tips to avoid those awful stories which happened to the girls.

How not to have this happen to you

1. Most chat users are normal, friendly people, but they are still strangers. People can pretend and they do pretend. Sometimes a grown-up might pretend to be a kid. So always remember Stranger Danger and be careful.

2. Take everything said in chat rooms lightly. After all you never know if what is being said is the truth or not.

3. Many people mistakenly think that they are completely anonymous while they are surfing the Net. They don't realise just how easy it is to link someone's address or online identity with a real person hi the real world. So don't give out your surname, phone number, home address or school (college, university) and any other personal information that can be used to track you down.

4.If you are asked for a screen name or need to use a name to play a game, use a nickname, never use your real name.

1.     Passwords are secret and should stay that way. Never tell anyone what it is. Try not to use names of family or pets as they are easy to guess.
A mix of numbers and letters is best.

2.                 Beware of people who change their details many times. If they can't make up their minds who they are, how can they be trusted?

3.                 Meeting people you have chatted to over the Internet is extremely risky. Even when the date is arranged in a public place or with friends accom­panying, it can still be dangerous.
