10 Steps to Fight Online Child Sex Offenders
3/5/2009 9:21:00 PM

According to a news report involving the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, one out of seven children who browse the internet experiences some sexual solicitation of some kind. That means someone’s child within your immediate vicinity must have been approached inappropriately at least once when using the internet. Do not discount this threat as harmless since it’s online.

Child sex offenders are very real and so is the danger they present.

Here are 10 steps you can take to fight online child sex offenders and protect your child:

1. Know their M.O. and understand the threat.
There are plenty of tools and resources that authorities and private organizations use to combat child sex offenders and yet, even they feel that they could do more. This is because child sex offenders are aware of what people do and don’t do to protect their children.

To fight online child sex offenders, do some research and learn how these people approach kids. Learn the ways they do it so you are aware of what your child faces each time he or she goes online.

2. Educate your child.
Don’t think you can keep your child safe by keeping them in the dark about the threat of online child sex offenders. Once they know and understand what these perverts can do and are willing to do to get to them, they will understand why you’re being protective. It will also help make them aware should they encounter someone online who will approach them in an inappropriate manner.

3. Install software that will monitor your child’s use of the internet.

Friend or Fiend? 10 Signs that Your Online Friend is a Pervert

If you like playing tricks, being anonymous or pretending to be someone else, the internet can be your own, private playground. This is why people have screen names that have nothing to do with their given names and even use avatars, their virtual equivalent in a virtual world. Although these are usually fun and harmless activities, they also present a twisted opportunity for individuals with less-than-noble intentions. Perverts and online child sex predators, for example, frequently use these methods to find their victims. So if you’re having some second thoughts about your new chatmate, consider these 10 signs that your online friend just might be a pervert:

1. He knows he’s dealing with a child but he continues to communicate with you anyway.

You already told him your age and he is aware that you are young enough to be his child or even grandchild. And yet, he insists on communicating with you, under the pretext that he finds you interesting or that he wants to help you. [Read More]

What is Innocent Justice?

The Innocent Justice Foundation - Helping Rescue Children From Abuse The Innocent

Justice Foundation's mission is to help rescue American children from child sexual abuse and significantly impact and reduce the epidemic of child sexual abuse in this century. Its methods are two-fold:

* to enable law enforcement to investigate and prosecute every Internet sex crime against a child in the United States thereby rescuing tens of thousands of American children from unspeakable abuse, and
* to create a paradigm shift in the public's perception of child abuse images, victims and offenders and thereby engage the public in ending sexual abuse.

The Innocent Justice Foundation's philosophy is the belief that only through heightened public awareness and action, active policymakers, and fully equipped law enforcement units will we be able to meet the challenge of rescuing victims, stopping predators, and slowing the pandemic of child sexual abuse in the United States of America today.

We meet Heather Steele the other day when she dropped by The CyberHood Watch and shared about an hour with us on our live radio show, and really opened our eyes to some staggering statistics about predators and pedophiles, she has to be one of the best interviews we've ever had or done on CHWradio.com

Heather has earned her MBA from the University of Chicago and is a passionate advocate for children in the fight to prevent child sexual abuse and provide justice for child victims.

To help her please visit: The Innocent Justice Foundation

Through Heather's education, research, and field experience she came to understand that child pornography and child molestation are inextricably linked and growing. She also discovered that child pornography, by leaving a digital trail, is also the best way to catch child molesters.

She brings a strong corporate background to her position as president and CEO of the Innocent Justice Foundation, which supports law enforcement efforts to investigate and prosecute child pornography crimes.
