wth...is this happening?
"Of the 13 rape cases in 2005, 11 victims - 84 per cent - were 11-
to 18-year-olds, said a police spokesman. And nine of the 14 molest
victims - 64 per cent - who had first met their attackers online,
were between the ages of 12 and 19."
# Do not put in information about yourself that makes you easily
identifiable, for example, your real name, age, home address and
school. Use a nickname instead of your real name. Friends will
still know who you are, but strangers will not be able to figure it
out as easily.
# If you have to post your picture online, make sure you are not
wearing your uniform. Also, avoid posting pictures of yourself
taken outside your home, with house or flat numbers in the
background. Do not post pictures of you at your favourite hangouts
- this reduces any chance of stalking.
# If you blog or leave messages on publicly accessible sites, do
not reveal where you will be and what you will be doing, or put in
information like class schedules.
# Do not post personal information about your friends online, and
make sure to tell them not to post any information about you
either.
