[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 315030, member: 8226"] Exactly. "Kids" she met online? How could difficult child be so sure they were kids anyway? I never could get through to my difficult child that people could so easily misrepresent themselves online. And...I also explained to my difficult child repeatedly that to give our number is to also give our address. Reverse look-ups of phone numbers are extremely easy online. The whole family is suddenly at risk. It made no difference what I said. difficult child at one point even posted a bulletin on her myspace, giving our phone number and saying she was home alone and wanted to have some company. I was HORRIFIED! I felt especially vulnerable when my difficult child would do things like this, being a single mom with two daughters. It's not that I think families with males in the home are safe, but I DO believe that a predator would see my family as an easier target. And...to meet enough new random friends online is, in my opinion, virtually a guarantee to meet a predator eventually. [/QUOTE]
