Social Media Site Threat For Children!
Hey Everyone,
I have posted this in the Social Media Section but feel it's important to give it as much exposure as possible hence this post in the MIMDF section of the forum.
Just a quick post to make all you parents aware of a site that has gone viral here in the UK.
Being a Dad myself, it's an ongoing battle to keep my kids safe when it comes to social media sites and video based chat sites that keep cropping up online.
The latest fad here in the UK is a site called OMEGLE [edited by moderator to remove the link].
This is a webcam chat room site that seems to have gone viral around the schools and colleges but on visiting the site and having had personal experience of the dangers involved with my 12 year old daughter I felt it my duty to make all my fellow Warriors aware of it.
The companies tag line is "Talk To Strangers" As if that's not enough to get you worried, they have both a monitored chat section AND and un-monitored one for over 18's
But as usual if you click on the 18+ version you simply get a disclaimer and notice that the content is usually of a sexual nature. Click "Yes" to proceed or "Cancel" to exit.
No proof of age is required and you are straight in!
My daughter was pressured into going on the site at a friends house and the two of them were instantly groomed by some sick bast@%d to the point of lifting their tops up which was then played back to them as a recording!
Needless to say the person on the other end said they would delete the recording if the girls did "something else" for him!
At this point the girls got freaked out and came off the site.
We had to get the police involved to really drive the message home to the girls about how stupid they had been.
Now I'm pretty savvy when it comes to this sort of thing but it didn't protect my little girl and it makes me sick to think that someone somewhere has a recording of her topless, but there's nothing I can do about that now.
The site server is based in Oregon and with it being web based chat, the police couldn't trace the users IP address, nor did the girls take note of their username.
What's worse is the site is set up to bounce each chat to a totally different "Stranger" every 15 minutes!
On average it lists that there are 12,000 Strangers online at any one time.
To me this sort of site is an open gateway for every sort of sick twisted person on the planet to gain access to and groom children.
PLEASE PLEASE learn from my experience and make sure your kids are not using it!
Any questions feel free to PM me.
Best Regards To You All,
Andy Benson
