Many sexual offenders are aware that the chance of being caught is relatively small. They can easily hide behind the mask of anonymity that the Internet provides. They interact with children anonymously over the computer and express their secret desires. They use many ways to communicate with children. Their aim is to arouse trust in young victims and hide their real identity behind, for example, false ages and genders.
I highly recommend my
readers to see the posted YouTube video as an example of Skype communication
between a pedophile and an underage girl. He hides his real identity behind the
screen. He pretends that he works for Disney channel and suggests to the young
girl that she could become a famous star with his help. His aim is to create a
positive impression that he could change her life and enable her to achieve her
dreams. His strategy in making such promises is to make he underage person more
open and vulnerable, to satisfy their own inappropriate desires.
Fortunately, in this
case, the young girl realizes that he is a pedophile based on their perverse
conversation, but there are still many children who can become victims of sexual
predators that are skilled at manipulating young people. There should definitely
be more development of strategies to prevent children from falling prey to
negative influences. If the chances of being caught were higher, there would
definitely be fewer offenders on the Internet.

In this particular example we can see that Internet does not work only for searching infromation or for entertainment, but unfortunately, also it provides a great opportunity for pedophiles. I am just curious if the video is real.. ? Not sure about it, but anyway it shows how pedophiles talk with children so it could help to warn kids against it.
OdpovědětVymazatYour post is extremely relevant as nowadays children are totally unprotected. Pedophiles can easily hide their real personalities and faces in order to confuse children. I am terrified because nowadays kids are more and more into the Internet and it could cause the increase of the amount of pedophiles in the Internet.
