FEATURE Internet Exploitation of Children
SUMMARY
Law enforcement has seen an extraordinary
increase in the victimization of children
over the Internet in recent years. As soon
as it was possible to contact children via
the Internet, it became a favorite medium,
and social networking pulled out all
the stops.

The perfect victim is a
child starved for attention
and acceptance. The
child gives the predator
plenty of clues to
construct their online
conversation.
