In this short video clip, a 13 year old girl named Julie started talking to this guy,named Tom. She thought he was a teenagers also. However, he wasnt. He was a 56 year old man. Julie started talking to him between 3 and 6 hours a day, and when she couldn't talk to him she got really upset. She knew that she wasn't supposed to be talking to him, but she did it without her parents knowing. As they talked more and more everyday, they went from friends, to best friends, to a sort of relationship. Shortly after that, she ran away to go see him for 3 weeks. She didn't know what was going to happen to her. She knew Tom could have done anything he wanted. However, someone saw their truck and reported it. Now, he is in jail for 25 years. After he went to jail, he sent Julie a letter stating that if he ever got out of jail he was going to kill her. Julie said that she would, "never do it again."
In the short clip, "Tracking Teresa", A girl with the user name of Teresa01 in a chat room online, didn't put any of her personal information like her age, gender, or real name. However, she did put her little brothers name and her hobbies, and just by that, someone can find out a lot about you using directories and search engines. Within 20 minutes, Someone can know where you live, your phone number, your full name, your family members names, what school you go to, your hobbies, and much more. I have put my personal information out online before, but after watching this I will make sure to be extremely careful about what I put online and never do it again. I think the most important thing to remember when your online is to be smart!
