Sexual Predator Avoidance Success Story
59
I've been using Net Nanny Social faithfully. A few days ago I got an alert regarding my daughter's friends on Facebook.
After checking it out, I discovered someone who sent her a friend request was someone she didn’t know, but she accepted the request because some of her friends had.
I checked around with other parents and it turned out none of these kids knew the man. They all assumed the others did.
He lives in our neighborhood. And he is on the sex offender registry.
Obviously, she "unfriended" and I reported this to Facebook, but it also opened up a dialogue about the validity of assuming because someone is a friend of a friend they are trustworthy.
