Aaron Jay Lemon Jr. was recently sentenced to 20 years in prison and lifetime probation in a Minnesota court for sexually assaulting a child he had taken a babysitting job for. On top of the assault, he made a video of it. The parents had posted an add on Craigs List looking for a babysitter. Lemon responded to the add and convinced the parents they could trust him with their child.
When it comes to Internet safety, it's not just about the children. It is important that we all take care in our entire online world. We need to be cautious about everyone we meet or do business with. Take the time to get and check resources by calling past customers or providers.
Never meet anyone in person that you met online without having someone there with you.
Check references of people you are thinking of doing business with. Use the Internet to run checks on people by running their name through registered sex offender sites and doing simple name searches, and phone number searches. You may be surprised of what you find out. It just may prevent something bad from happening to you. The Internet provides us with so many resources. Everyone needs to learn how to take advantage of them to minimize the problems of society.
