Online predators

I feel like such a bad mummy, not too mention a stupid fool. I accepted an online Facebook friend request from another member of the same single parent community. It is always nice to chat to people, plus yes I was a little bit flattered. I got a message this morning saying blah, blah, blah, also your daughter is very sexy. Bloody hell, my daughter is 4 yrs old for fricks sake. Bloody hell, what have I done. I have exposed my daughters photos, precious images meant for friends and family to see to a peadophile. The guilt I am feeling is beyond belief.

I will never, ever fall for that again! But how do I stop the guilt factor. I made an online report to the fed police, and he's blocked and such. But what if he's downloaded my daughters images to horrible sites and such. How do I get past this. How do I trust anyone ever again.

Please ladies, be careful. Our children are so very precious. Don't be silly like me.

It's not your fault these sick mongrels are out there. Just a little hint go onto restricted for your profile when adding anyone to suss them out, even old school friends you never know. Just remember that these dicks are able to sweet talk and make it seem like they are genuine people it is NEVER your fault the way they are as long as you act immediately like you have already. It's great that you have told this story to warn others, it takes courage to admit your faults in order to allow for others to learn from them and hopefully you save someone else from making that mistake.

They can access anywhere, be careful of your profile pic and not to have pictures of your kids as that is accessible to everyone. There are some sic people in this world!

Thank you for sharing. This was a good reminder on internet safety. You did nothing wrong. Maybe set up a second FB account with only your minimal details. Use this account to join support groups; we all need them at some point. This way it can be a totally public sharing point and still give you access to the great groups out there. I'm sure in time you will feel better. XXXX
