Over the last decade, child predators have been using the internet as a base for soliciting underage children for explicit illegal actions. Although tough monitoring by police and child abuse prevention groups, chatrooms/social networks still pose a risk for those underage and not aware of the dangers of social online predators. Children need to be more educated in the areas of knowing who is posing as an online predator and how to avoid engaging in private conversations for the prevention of the child becoming a victim. Online predators are prevalent all over the United States and action needs to be taken accordingly in order to protect the young children of the country.
