The internet allows for people to stay connected through social media sites and online chat rooms. This can be a good thing but like all things, people do find ways to abuse this and turn it into a bad thing. Online predators have been a growing problem over the past decade. They try to contact underage minors and get them to participate in inappropriate sexual acts. On an NBC television show called "To Catch A Predator", they set up online traps to try to catch these predators and after 12 investigations in the United States, it showed that there are so many online predators out there, people definitely need to be more aware. Some parents have even attempted NBC's tactics and tried to catch them on their own in order to protect their children.
