Pedophile / pervs…

---

what are some signs of online Pedophiles?

It's really hard to tell. They are pretty good at "acting" young. They talk the talk and use common acronyms and txt speak.

Helms and I have busted a couple of people here. They are a couple on here now that I don't trust.

no it't not directed at you. i know where not really talkign right now but still has nothign to do with u. and no it's not about him either..or maybe it is...but why am i telling u. you don't belive me anyway.@ spd... "They are a couple on here now that I don't trust." and that's why i asked...

I found this article that may be a little helpful:

Quote:

Many teens use peer support online forums to deal with their problems. Predators often go to these online areas to look for vulnerable victims.

Online predators try to gradually seduce their targets through attention, affection, kindness, and even gifts, and often devote considerable time, money, and energy to this effort. They're aware of the latest music and hobbies likely to interest kids.

They listen to and sympathize with kids' problems. They also try to ease young people's inhibitions by gradually introducing sexual content into their conversations or by showing them sexually explicit material.

And I got it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/protect/family/guidelines/predators.mspx

Hey, I have my will be wife on here keeping my reigns pulled tight! I got someone watching me and keeping me form doing bad shit! so I hope Im not one of those that cant be trusted!seriously though, if ya got some people that seem to fit the standards for fucking pedos and you come up with a way to bust em Id be happy to help, I cant stand the bastards.Pervs talking to adults trying to get some action Im Ok with, it shouldnt be here on this site but well hell I am a perv, I just limit my pervo activities to Julz.

I thought about that when I first read it too. But I still thought it was important because unfortunately that is how alot of predators act. You really have to be careful of who you become friends with on the internet. I think adults having sexual conversations with kids is inappropriate. It's different if you are giving birth control/condoms/STD advice, but anything else is crossing the line...in my opinion at least. I email back and forth with Caleb sometimes and none of our conversations have been sexual. There is no need for it.

Of course it happens here! It happens on all forums the difference is that here we have people like SDP looking for the bastards, we used to have helms here to kick the fuckers around too. and for the most part people here are pretty decent, at least the regular contributers are and watch out for that sort of shit and the mods have made it public again and again asking for anyone that gets that shit from someone on this site to forward it to them so it can be dealt with.not all sites have decent people that give a shit working behind the scenes to eliminate that bullshit

What?? I didn't say it doesn't happen here.

you said you thought about it happening here, and it was in reply to someone radekl maybe? saying that it reminded him of this site. Im just saying this site is better than others as there are people here actively working and seeking that shit out to put an end to it.

I think Rad was talking about this: "Online predators try to gradually seduce their targets through attention, affection, kindness, and even gifts, and often devote considerable time, money, and energy to this effort."Which prompted my reply about how I thought about that too when I read it. Like, even though you or I or Rad may have good intentions, predators act kind and give attention (the same way we do) but their intentions are bad, of course.

true, but noone here can honestly say Iv ever sent them a sexy pm, or talked to minors, especially in PM, I mean abi, but that was help with chemistry homework, and well fuck come on it was abi! Now you, you may not be able to claim that same thing as I dont knwo if you send little alex pms or emails or both! but i do know you two have had soem dirty talk, he however as well as you are over 18 and fully aware what your doing.

lol, Hmmmm, how do we really know if he is over 18?

I disagree, I don't really think that's us, at least from what I see in the public threads.>>>"Online predators try to gradually seduce their targets through attention, affection, kindness, and even gifts, and often devote considerable time, money, and energy to this effort."I don't think we give posters attention, we give their problems attention. That's a big and important difference. I haven't seen any, or at least many, offerings of open sincere affection. I think we give amiable understanding, sometimes not so amiable. Again, there's a big difference there. Kindness... sometimes... no, no, no... We are generally kind but I think the article cited is inaccurate in what it is referring to as "kindness." I think they're talking about salacious flattery (not just of looks but of the person as a whole). And, flattery has nothing to so with kindness. Time..., I know I will spend a lot of time thinking about some problems that came up here, sometimes the whole drive home. It's not all that often, but it happens with some posts.I don't know, I don't think any of what the article states is describing us and, I think, that the distinctions between us and them can be an important tool for young-un's in determining if they're talking to a potential dangerous person or someone who is offering genuine well intended advice.

Right, not generally in the open forum. But you don't really know what is said in emails and IM.

Caleb is the only 'young' poster that I email. I think I have been kind to him and I give him my attention, and not only if he has a problem. I've seen pictures of him and have told him he is a handsome young man. And our little online friendship developed from me just offering advice. Or actually, I think I just complimented his artwork.

I think the article points that out. A predator may start out with a piece of advice and then build up trust and friendship just like we, or at least I, have done with Caleb. (Although I am not a pedo, lol) And I think it's important for young people to know that.

Your right, till he shows to your door with a valid photo ID you best stop all fantasy's, and cyber sex stuff with him.

wut would be concered sexual conversations... i mean what is just talk and what is trying to pull a teen in? that's what i wish i knew...

what about after? i mena after a teen gets realed in, after their friends for a years...

You have a point. I don't really deal with the whole PM thing unless it's the naughty ones with you and Eddie. So, then kids need to be equipped as early as possible with deciphering bullshit. I don't know how much earlier in the development of child that could be moved up. But I do think it's important that kids not lose a resources like A2A for asking their questions and getting varied answers.Do you think kids can spot bullshit? Some of the ones I've been around are better at it than adults. The difference seems to be, from my very limited experience, that they'll go ahead and buy into anyway, even though they may know it's bullshit.Adolescents don't seem that dumb to me. To me, what they seem to lack is the ability to step back from that they know to be bullshit. I don't know why that is. Thinking back to when I was say 11 to 14 I knew when smoke was being blow up my ass but I went along with it anyway. Why I did, I don't really know. I guess I didn't know it was okay to get out of it... just a guess, I don't really know.Might kids be better served not only to say this is what a pedo might look like but this is how you get out of the situation if you think you got a pedo chasing you.I don't know I think adolescents can recognize bullshit they just lack the tools to know how to deal with it.I may be completely wrong, what are your thoughts.

Well, in my opinion, I don't think they should ask you things about your sex life or your fanatasies. Like, I don't think they should ask you if you like to give/get oral or do you masturbate or get into specifics like that. I think that if a teen asks about STD's or birth control, things of that nature, then it is ok for an adult to pass along thier advice. And if it's something that makes you uncomfortable or you are not too sure, I think you should tell someone you do trust, like Ineligible/Diver/SDP.

Quote:But I do think it's important that kids not lose a resources like A2A for asking their questions and getting varied answers. I do too. I think kids can spot BS too to a point. But I think in general the pedos try to latch on to kids that are depressed or have other issues. And those kids may have a hard time telling the difference between a friend and someone that is only trying to get one thing from them.
