Document Summary
*quickly going back to last class: child luring on the internet. Up to 2007: 464 cases that came to the attention of officials (there are many other cases that the officials never find out about) Of these cases, most incidents were not cleared (never found who was trying to solicit the child) We"re paying more attention to luring on the internet. Thousands of children 12-18 being asked whether they"ve been solicited 13% in the states. 22% saw unwanted sexual images (sent to them/inadvertently got to a website) Did you ever meet the person? only in 2 cases did the youth answer yes. This youth luring is quite common on the internet, but relatively rare that youth actually meets these individuals. Cleared by charges most were male between the ages of 18 and 34 (not surprising that young males would be charged, and that they would be luring children)
