The internet and its social networks can both be a curse and
a blessing. This mother had to learn that painfully. Everyone should know her
story and draw the right conclusions. It is about the welfare of our children.
Imagine that you're on Facebook and get a friend request from a stranger. As I said, you don't know he or she at all. But the profile picture is actually quite nice and it speaks to you somehow. So then you accept the request. Just like that. What could go wrong ...?!?

Everything
quickly forgotten, because you have something much more important to do: your
daughter (or son) is starting school for the first time. You're so proud of
your offspring, how she has made herself ready for her big day and you post the
best photos on Facebook. Underneath you write something like: "What a day!
Unbelievable who big my sweetheart has become." Then you even link the
picture with the name of the school and upload it on Facebook. A couple clicks
- done. But the consequences are terrifying.
Because
what then happens in secret is unimaginable: the stranger whom you have add to
your friend list a few days ago, has now long saved the picture, uploaded it to
an online catalogue and sent it to hundreds of men around the world! Her writes
underneath it:
"Youngblood,
American girl. Not even 6 years old! Only 5,000 dollars!"
You
have no idea this is happening, for it's all going on behind your back. But the
horror first begins when you want to pick up your daughter from school a few
weeks later - but no one is there! You look everywhere, ask everyone who you
pass while stricken with tears: Have you seen my kid?
What is
now happening with the little one, is something you probably don't want to
know. And all of this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't committed this serious
mistake. And even if you're lucky and your child is spared, the disgusting
feeling of knowing that your sweetheart's picture will end up in a catalog for
child molesters. So: STOP FRIENDING STRANGERS ON FACEBOOK! It's better to have
one less "friend" than to live through this horror story.
We must never forget this message: be vigilant and nurture a
healthy dose of skepticism while dealing with strangers on the internet. Reject
friend requests from strangers! And most importantly: no pictures of children!
Because they often land in the wrong hands. Pedophiles often look for such
openness. In real life, you wouldn't show everyone your private life, right?
Here you can watch how to protect your profile from privacy abuse.
Please
share this important warning with all your friends! It can prevent a tragedy.
