To put some numbers to an issue we all know occurs…

• 1 in 4 online teens say they’ve talked online about sex with someone they’ve never met in person.
• 1 in 5 online teens report that they have been asked by someone they only know through virtual communications to meet face-to-face.
• 1 in 10 online teens have been solicited online by adults and kept the incident from their parents.
• 1 in 8 online teens have learned that someone they were communicating with online was an adult pretending to be younger.

If you haven’t yet read the Polly Klaas Foundation report on teens, tweens, and Internet safety, it’s definitely worth a read.
