So often recently there have been news reports of people who use the internet to stalk people. Here’s a story about how one girl used the internet to find her rapists and prove their guilt. It’s the story of a horrendous act, and a girl’s courage to confront her smug attackers. She’s not named (she is, and her attackers probably are, underage), but she comes from my old neighborhood. She is an Amazon, and I salute her.
Use of the internet that’s not scary

They should be charged as adults. Farking low lifes.
Greetings xJane from your old neighborhood.

I heard of a similar case a few years ago where a rape victim’s friends tracked down her assailant by frequenting the same chatroom where she’d originally met the perp.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi, Ben! I’m actually back up here for the nonce: thinking about getting me some B&O while it’s still around

Once again it is proven that criminals are stoopid. And they talked of killing her?!
How do parents - and I’m talking responsible parents - manage their kids online activities ? How do they manage the balance of giving kids freedom and trust and still guiding them as a parent?
