Why do grown men engage in online conversation with minors? do you realize the danger in such activities? This subject was discussed last night when the police visited my club to discuss crime prevention. In these types of cases, one is guilty unles proven otherwise. As a parent, if I discover such extended online conversation between my 12 or 14 yrs old boys with 30-50 years old adults online, regardless of what subjects or who started the conversation, as a precaution, I will absolutely report to my local police department. Maybe the police have nothing better to do? but they made it clear that they want to know and will take actions and work with Fed authorities' registry. As the officer said: "Why would a normal middle age man engage in extended online conversation with a child? there could be something wrong down the road or elsewhere with that individual."
