Cyber Predators

Cyber Predators are people who search online for other people in order to use, control or harm them in some way.

Cyber predators target teens and young adults-both male and female-on a regular basics, regardless of whether or not the victims are 18 or above.

Social networking sites enhance a predator's ability to target tweens and teens, especially if they share personal information on their profile.

To protect yourself from cyber predators:

-Be aware-you never know who is behind the screen, so be protective of yourself and your personal information.

-If you are being targeted or harassed online, notify your family or the proper authorities.
