Spysure UK: Press Releases

A child or teenager having unsupervised access to the Internet is open to a world of harmful risks that can be both psychologically damaging and/or physically abusive. Chat rooms have been the area of focus and research in Internet safety for children. In recent months, cases of abduction and/or murder of children has awakened society to the realities of promiscuous matters such as pedophilia. The Internet has been found to facilitate such conditions. Several arrests have been made recently, including celebrities who visit sites and download indecent pictures. Chat rooms are used to lure children into offline meetings, which are extremely dangerous. The victims of this type of abuse are usually tricked into these meetings by building up a false sense of security with the offender through online conversation. The following are some of the notable cases of Internet chat rooms abuses:

Case 1: In October 2001, a paediatrician pled guilty to 11 felony counts of attempted child molestation and sending pornographic pictures to a minor via the Internet. The doctor preyed online for a young girl to train as a sex slave and said he knew how to torture a child without leaving marks. The doctor received a year in jail [2].

Case 2: In January 2002, a 16 year-old girl was found tied up in the home of a Virginia man. The girl met her abductor on the Internet. Investigators report the man kidnapped the girl so he could have sex with her [2].

Case 3: In July 2003, former US Marine Toby Studabaker, 31, ran away to France with a 12-year-old British schoolgirl. Evidence shows that they had been in touch with each other for some time via email after making contact through an Internet chat room. This case received huge media coverage in Britain and rekindled concern about so-called "grooming" by adults who contact children via Internet chat rooms.
