A Free chat room may have no form of age verification, so users can pretend to be any age they choose. This
could allow someone who wishes to harm a child to cultivate local dating in order to make contact offline, perhaps by pretending
to be supportive and sympathetic. Once they have selected the victim, there is a friendship forming phase you sound like
a nice person, wanna chat? Then there is a move from the public Chat Room to a private, one to one local chat rooms where
they communicate with kids and move on to a relationship forming phase what bands do you like, what class are you in,
how many brothers and sister do you have? They want to know who else uses the computer where is it located, make sure
this is our secret, do not make copies of conversations. And these kinds of probing questions can be couched in subtle ways
like is it easy for you to get online or are your brothers and sisters always trying to get online? But basically what these
guys seems to be doing is conducting some kind of risk assessment in gay chat room or a lesbian chat room. They are trying
to get an understanding of the likely risk of detection in a online chat room. Then they move on to the exclusivity phase I
love you, I trust you, do you trust me? That perfectly primes the situation for moving into the online dating phase. That's
where they introduce questions of a sexual nature about lesbian dating or about their feelings about their own sexuality.
The guys who intend to meet the child offline are essentially grooming the child. If the child does not acquiesce they will
try to coerce the child to take it further.It is easy to be misled by so called online friends you can not see, but it is
just as easy to be safe, using simple guidelines. Remember, everyone you meet online is a stranger, even though they
might seem like a friend. Always stay in public areas of free dating and where there are other people around. When
you would like to communicate with someone make it clear that you will discuss this online friendship with your parents. Always
use a nickname and do not give out personal contact details or any other information that could be used to identify you, such
as information about your family, where you live or the school you go to. Never start christian dating with someone
you have met online unless accompanied by an adult. As long as you use common sense and use the internet safely you should
not be at risk in a christian chat room.
