> Just to let you know, the reason I got the police involved was that this idiot sent her a video of himself masturbating. I think that is justification alone. I was terrified for her saftey at the time. I had never dealt with this type of situation. I may have overreacted, but at the time, I was on my own and did the first thing that came to mind, and I thought this guy was an internet predetor. I do appreciate the thoughts about "chilling out". I will try that approach and we'll see what happens. Gigi
I know "I agree" posts aren't good netiquitte, but
I just want to emphazise my agreement with Eve.
That guy sending a tape like that to a 14 year-
old makes me question his judgement not to do
worse. And then that he your address is very
scary indeed. I can see why you got the police
involved. Your daughter really needs to understand
why you NEVER EVER give your address out on the
internet.Well, if least one good thing (as good as
can be in such a situation): if he ever tries to
approach or stalk your daughter you and the
police will know what he looks like.It's too bad, to say the very least, that she had
to end up meeting such a person on the 'net, for
what could've been some innocent, frivolous, and
probably soon forgotten, exploration and safe fun,
with someone with sme decency and sense.Good luck.
