PREDATORS: What predators do is they secretly engageon their pray!

HERE IS THE MOST COMMON SCENARIO FOR SOCIAL MEDIA PREDATORS MOSTLY DOWN HERE IN SRILANKA:



  • The predator opens a fake account using a fake name with a fake birth date


  • The predator will post a picture of someone else, usually a picture of someone around the same age of the predators.''TARGET GROUP''


  • The predator is then open to troll around the social networking site as A 16 YEAR OLD BOY/ GIRL WHERE AS THE PREDATOR IS ONLY 42 YEARS OLD



A RECENT STUDY HAS SHOWN THAT ONE IN THIRD OF THE CHILDREN IN THIS GROUP AGE (10- 17) ARE BECOMING VICTIMS OF ONLINE SEXUAL SOLICITATION!!

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? HOW CAN THIS BE STOPPED OR PREVENTED?? GIVE ME YOUR SUGGESTIONS!!

Prevention is better than cure. The only way we could prevent this is through knowledge and precaution about these felons.
We should be able to give this awareness to the teens, by taking away this topic from the traditional taboo list. These kinda things happen everywhere and the reason why this is still happening is victims are scared to speak up. They're scared of the society to judge them as criminals instead of victims.That is the sad reality.
When someone becomes a victim in cases like these, they're the ones to be seen as on the wrong. We should get them talk and that is how people are gonna know the reality in social media.
