Most sex offenders and paedophiles use the net to find what they are looking for: children and adolescents. They enter social web pages that are used by children and teenagers. Since these social networks provide personal information, pictures and so on, adolescents as well as children are exposed to those unscrupulous who play dirty. To face this situation, many specialists as well as authorities have provided some plausible solutions as well as recommendations for service providers and safety advice for first-time users.
Authorities and network web pages such as Facebook and others suggested they can cooperate by having a filter to those paedophiles trying to have access to information of young people. These social web pages would make it more difficult for people registered over the age of 18 to search users under the age of 18. Although this filter could be expensive, it is one possibility to be safe. This filter allows a patrolling of the internet to keep predators away from children. What’s more, there would be a list of every site that is generally used by paedophiles to avoid using them.
But, what is really important here is that security comes accompanied from home. Parents must engage what the interests of their kids really are. Parents should encourage children not to provide excessive information about themselves. Parents’ supervision of who her or his daughter web’s friends are is quite important in this process to put their children away from danger. They should not intrude but to speak to their sons and daughters and tell them to be aware what they write or publish on some web pages or not to accept at once an invitation for a personal meeting for example.To sum up, conscience and awareness should be practised by every one involved from parent through children to authorities and web sites
