some people dont think much about it, but this is VERY true. I've found out information about people like this myself. >>After tossing her books on the sofa, she decided to grab a snack and >>get on-line . She logged on under her screen name ByAngel213. She checked >>her Buddy List and saw GoTo123 was on. She sent him an instant message: >> >> >> >> >>ByAngel213: >>Hi. >>I'm glad you are on! I thought someone was >>following me home today. It was really weird! >> >> >> >> >>GoTo123: >>LOL >>You watch too much TV. Why would someone >>be following you? Don't you live in a safe >>neighborhood? >> >>ByAngel213: >>Of course I do. LOL I guess it was my imagination >>cuz'I didn't see anybody when I looked out. >> >>GoTo123: >>Unless you gave your name out on-line. >>You haven't done that have you? >> >>ByAngel213: >>Of course not.I'm not stupid you know. >> >>GoTo123: >>Did you have a softball game after school >>today? >> >>ByAngel213: >>Yes and we won!! >> >>GoTo123: >>That's great! Who did you play? >> >>ByAngel213: >>We played the Hornets. LOL. Their uniforms >>are so gross! They look like bees. LOL >> >>GoTo123: >>What is your team called? >> >>ByAngel213: >>We are the CantonCats. We have tiger paws >>on our uniforms. They are really cool. >> >>GoTo123: >>Did you pitch? >> >>ByAngel213: >>No I play second base. I got to go. My homework has >>tobe done before my parents get home. I don't want >>them mad at me. Bye! >> >>GoTo123: >>Catch you later. Bye >> >> >> >>Meanwhile...GoTo123 went to the member menu and began to search for her >>profile. When it came up, he highlighted it and printed it out. He took >>out a pen >>andbegan to write down what he knew about Angel so far. >> >> >> >> >> >> >>Her name: Shannon >>Birthday: Jan. 3, 1985 >>Age: 13 >>State where she lived: North Carolina >> >> >>Hobbies: >>softball, chorus, skating &going to the mall. >> >> >>Besides this information, he knew she lived in Canton because she had just >>told him. He knew she stayed by herself until 6:30 p.m. every afternoon >>until her parents came home from work. He knew she played softball on >>Thursday afternoons on the school team, and the team was named the Canton >>Cats. Her favorite number 7 was printed on her jersey. >> >>He knew she was in the eighth grade at the Canton Jr.High School. She had >>told him all this in the conversations they had on- line. He hadenough >>information to find her now. >> >> >>Shannon didn't tell her parents about the incident on the way home from >>the ballpark that day. She didn't want them to make a scene &stop her from >>walking home from the softball games. Parents were always overreacting >>&hers were the worst. It made her wish she was not an only child. Maybe if >>she had brothers &sisters, her parents wouldn't be so overprotective. >> >> >> >>By Thursday, Shannon had forgotten about the footsteps following her. Her >>game was in full swing when suddenly she felt someone staring at her. It >>was then that the memory came back. She glanced up from her second base >>position to see a man watching her closely. >> >>He was leaning against the fence behind first base &he smiled whenshe >>looked at him. He didn't look scary and she quickly dismissedthe sudden >>fear she had felt. >> >>After the game, he sat on a bleacher while she talked tothe coach. She >>noticed his smile once again as she walked past him. He nodded &she smiled >>back. He noticed her name on theback of her shirt. He knew he had found >>her. >> >>Quietly, he walked a safe distance behind her. It was only a few blocks to >>Shannon'S home, &once he saw where she lived he quickly returned to the >>park to get his car . >> >>Now he had to wait. He decided to get a bite to eat untilthe time came to >>go to Shannon'S house. He drove to a fastfood restaurant and sat there >>until time to make his move. >> >>Shannonwas in her room later that evening when she heardvoices in the >>living room. >> >>"Shannon, come here," her father called. He sounded upset &she couldn't >>imagine why. She went into the ro om to see theman from the ballpark >>sitting on the sofa. >> >>"Sit down," her father began, "this man has just toldus a most interesting >>story about you." >> >>Shannonsat back. How could he tell her parents anything? She had never >>seen him before today! >> >>"Do you know who I am, Shannon?" the man asked. >> >>"No," Shannonanswered. >> >>"I am a police officer and your online friend, GoTo123." >> >>Shannonwas stunned. "That's impossible! GoTo123 is a kid my age! He's 14. >>And he lives in Michigan !" >> >>The man smiled. "I know I told you all that, but it wasn't true. You see, >>Shannon, there are people on-line who pretend to be kids; I was one of >>them. But while others do it to injure kids &hurtthem, I belong to a group >>of parents who do it to protect >>kids from predators. I came here to find you to teach you how dangerousit >>is to talk to people on-line. You told me enough aboutyourself to make it >>easy for me to find you. You named theschool you went to, the name of your >>ball team and the position you played. The number and name on your jersey >>just madefinding you a breeze." >> >>Shannonwas stunned. "You mean you don't live in Michigan?" >> >>He laughed. "No, I live in Raleigh. It made you feelsafe to think I was so >>far away, didn't it?" >> >>She nodded. >> >>"I had a friend whose daughter was like you. Only she wasn't as lucky. The >>guy found her &murdered her while she was homealone. Kids are taught not >>to tell anyone when they arealone, yet they do it all the time on-line. >>The wrong people trick >>youinto giving out information a little here and there on-line. >> >>Before you know it, you have told them enough for them to find youwithout >>even realizing you have done it. I hope you've learneda lesson from this >>and won't do it again. Tell others about thisso they will be safe too?" >> >>"It's a promise!" >> >>That night Shannon and her Dad and Mom thanked God for protecting >>Shannonfrom what could have been a tragic situation.
