Online Predators

APA Release: Online predators only pretend to be teenagers 5% of the time - 95% of the time they are themselves. I don't know which is worse. Press Release or Full Article "Online Predators and their victims"

Yes it can happen in your library - you would be stupid to think that it couldn't. Everyone should be trained about how to report suspicous behavior and/or lawbreaking. Even if you know what to do it's harder than it looks. I had to confront a patron looking at porn (against the law in Missouri) - I totally froze and a collegue had to take care of it.
