Wake Up To the Internet Dangers

If any parents were to check a facebook account of any teenager... It stretches their imaginations to see friends from the world over... Some friends claimed to be some famous idols, Some even have pictures of popular people... How can a teenaged kid to know that the nice bosom internet pal, Is actually in disguise, a killer or pedophil on the prowl... The dastardly one can claim to be in some far away place... When in truth he could in the neighbourhood near to your place... It is so frightening who are being allowed into our lives.. If we indiscriminately accept and say yes to every request to be friends... Your lovely son or daughter that you'll give up life to protect... Could be already in a deadly trap of a so called internet friend in regular contact... It explains how teenaged girls are lured away so readily by an internet friend.. Cos in their squeeky clean innocence they can't see some friends are fiends... You'll please share this info around, given the dangers that are abound... In the various forms of social media, we as parents may be very much unaware... It's frightening how some kids posts their presence.... Here, there and everywhere about their presence.... Sadder still like a much circulated article earlier... Some proud parents promote their gorgeous precious children... Little knowing someone with bad intentions, may be collecting information... Heavens forbid but some young kids are subtlely lured away.... Leaving grieving parents bewildered and dismayed.. Their precious little one is now lost or gone astray.. Like a 14 year girl love besotted teenager who was to journey to Syria... All alone in the name of blinded love and religious fervour... See then these incidents of awful dangers challenging our teenagers.. As parents, sworn to protect our children, wake up to these dangers!

TQ for the positive comment from you..... Great to know it struck a chord in you.. Yes, in their innocence, kids find the internet cool.. But as adults we know better not be fooled... Dangers are aplenty in the internet... For many on the internet.... There are benefits galore too.....

A very good poem. It's damn dangerous out there. I have seen some of the horrible outcomes from these predators and it is despicable. Kids just think technology is cool, so innocent and oblivious to its real harm. A 7 from me.
