Web Weirdos
Sexual Deviants on
the Web
As noted previously, the web is a haven for
sexual predators of all manners, and the natural anonymity of the
Internet has facilitated thousands of sexual attacks in the United
States.
TheFreeDictionary.com defines a pedophile as
“an adult who is sexually attracted to children.” Everyone should
remember being told to stay away from strangers. Many schools today
spend time teaching schoolchildren about “stranger-danger”, and that
they should avoid all contact with unfamiliar adults. Sadly, this
advice has not been extended to the Internet.
Research is clear that the web has become an
important vehicle in the enabling of child molesters:
“Technology itself does not create
pedophiles.
However, the Internet reinforces negative
behavior and negative arousal patterns and gives these sex offenders
a place to express themselves.”

On the Internet, the distinction between
stranger and “new friend” can blur. For example, a new friend in a
chat room might tell a child they are 14, but in reality, this new
friend is middle-aged and recently released from prison.
