This post may be one of the most important ones that I have ever written because so many women are falling prey to online dates and unknowingly endangering their children.
I receive countless emails from women who tell me that they have met their new “soul mate” on line. They say that this wonderful man is so interested in their children, unlike their ex’s. Panic immediately sets in on my end and my red flag goes up. The first thing I advise them is to be vigilant and not let this new man be with their children alone.
On some occasions, the women don’t want to hear about the possibility that their new man might not be what he appears to be. My job is to help these women and protecting their children is a big part of what I do. At the very least, my warnings cause them to be more “suspicious” of the new man’s actions and requests.
There are many child molesters, pedophiles and the like out there waiting for just the right vulnerable woman who just happens to have children.
The reality, according to the experts on the subject is that on line dating is filled with danger ranging from liars to sexual predators to murderers who hide behind their seemingly harmless on line identities.
Myspace canceled over 90,000 accounts a while back because they were linked to registered sex offenders. Often times, men join the sites using a false name, a prepaid cell phone and a phony email address from free services such as Yahoo, Hotmail or Gmail.
Statistics show that nearly 100% of the cases of abuse with on line dating involve women being victimized by men. Naive women or women who are recently divorced become easy targets because of their vulnerability. If you have any reason for concern, look on line for help. There are sites like Direct Screening [affiliate] that can help you.
Please for the sake of your children, do not ever post pictures of them. Do not describe them with any details. Do not label your self as single mother. These things are magnets to attract child predators.
Obviously, many women do connect with wonderful men on dating sites but the need to be extremely careful is enormous.
