OK, so I have this friend Jassy. And she is making a huge mistake. She met a guy over the internet and started dating him. He, of course, lives on the other side of the country. And, being the idiot she has always been, is meeting with him over the summer. Now, if you are willing to travel 3,000 miles across country like he is, you are not 14 like he says he is.
Therefore, my friend, Jessica, and I are trying to convince her not to meet him. Jassy thinks she's safe and can trust him but she can't. Jessica felt the same about her neighbor and he molested her. Her neighbor is someone she's always known. Imagine what someone my friend doesn;t even know could do to her. Jassy keeps saying it can't happen to her. She's just being so ignorant!! What should I do? She can get extremely hurt. Sorry this is long, but my friend is putting herself in danger!

girlygirl answered Friday April 7 2006, 3:42 pm: First of all... how can you be "dating" anyone over a computer screen? It's so easy to think someone is wonderful because they typed something meaningful to you. Most of the time the fabulous person on the other end is just some pervert/pedophile looking for sex with a child.
You need to show her the facts and statistics and horror stories about that kind of thing. Why else would a guy be interested in a kid 3000 miles away? Come On - Wake her UP! [ girlygirl's advice column | Ask girlygirl A Question ]

She might be mad at you for a while, but you're saving her from being possibly raped and/or killed from an online predator.
UHOHxOMFG answered Wednesday April 5 2006, 7:20 pm: definitly be there for her. no matter what. if you are to scared to talk to her parents then tell your parents and they will for sure do something about it. a good way to get them to stop talking to to block him from her buddylist and delete his screen name when she isnt around. make sure you delete it though because she could scoll down to see who is offline and see he is blocked. if none of that works then in the summer find out when they are supposed to meet and be prepared like having yours and her family around without her knowing incase something happens. he definitly isnt a 14 year old if he is going to travel that far. hope everything is okay and works out. what ever you do just stick by her side as much as you can. <3 [ UHOHxOMFG's advice column | Ask UHOHxOMFG A Question ]

Yes she will get very angry. You though will know that you kept her from possibly being killed by an online predator.
You are very right in your thinking that a 14 year can't just up and travel 3,000 miles to visit someone they met online. What explanation is she using for that one?
