The Warning Signs
info_icon
  • Your child spends a large amount of time online, especially at night. Most children who fall victim to computer-sex offenders spend enormous time online, particularly in chatrooms.

  • You find pornography on your child's computer. S/he may hide them in diskettes, especially when the computer is used by other family members.

  • Your child receives or makes calls to unknown numbers: sex offenders often engage in phone sex with children and often seek to set up an actual meeting for real sex.

  • Your child turns the monitor off or quickly changes the screen on the monitor when you come into the room. S/he is looking at pornographic images and doesn't want you to see them onscreen.
  • Your child starts withdrawing from the family. Computer sex offenders work very hard at driving a wedge between children and their families or at exploiting their relationship.
