Let's briefly talk about lacking information since you obviously need to be enlightened on the subject. Well Brian, almost all violence or abuse against children in the US (and many other places, too)is committed by those who know the victim personally. Are you with me here or do I need to slow down for you to understand? In other words ***STATISTICALLY SPEAKING*** the very people to whom you are giving 'advice'("PrincessJan" + presumably "Darios") are far, far more likely to be people who could do unspeakable things to little "Mike" and "Luke" than these phantom online predators and malignant forces that concern you. Furthermore without a bonafide last name, address or social security number why are you concerned about the prospects of something dreadful going down? We don't even know what continent they live on. Ironically, it appears that you are the ignorant one. And as for my immaturity, well, guilty as charged---- but hey it's fun being this way.
