Glad theyve been found ok, but how many warnings do these kids need before they stop meeting people from the internet???

Yes, I know what you mean. Given all the TV coverage devoted to the dangers of children meeting people they have 'met' on the internet and given the number of cases with sad outcomes, you would have to wonder why such things still happen.

Like you I hope they are found safely but let's hope too that children and parents get the message and we have no further cases like this.

I'm glad they have been found safe and relatively well.

I'm glad this story has a happy ending

well i was happy when i heard the girls were ok, but it did bring up some issues in my mind.... it is always going to be the case that you will chat to people online and in some cases you trundle off and meet them, i've done it and i realised just what kinds of dangerous situations i placed myself in (albeit i was a lot older than these two) but it does scare me that i took risks to meet people, and yes i was lucky that none of them were serial killers, rapists or just weird....... kids take too many risks these days and it is sad

edit: ok some of them were weird....i've meet some of you lot after all

:p

and your fear got worse as the evening progressed im sure

rofl:

when will kids learn not to take risks? could it be going back to the other thread, that we protect them too much and theyu feel the need to take risks?

i think its mainly kids wanting to meet people, who they have grown fond of or have become good freinds with over the net and want to see them face to face.

yes and sure you will remind me of it next time i call you (which i really really must do)

yes im sure they have grown fond of them, but they need to be safe and need to be taught the dangers that can (not necessarily do) come along with meeting people off the net
