Who is Emailing Your Child?
 The internet is amazing these days. Your child can goonline and find information for any kind of school projectthey may be doing, homework, and study information. Itopens doors for kids the way nothing ever has. Of course,it is also a favorite way for your child to keep in touchwith friends and make new friends. With socialnetworking sites like Zubby, MySpace, and Friendster,your child can keep in touch with all of their friends andhave some fun while they're doing it.In fact, social networking sites like these are amazinglypopular with kids. Email is another way your child cankeep in touch with friends or with family that live faraway. However, with all the benefits of the internet, therealso comes a ton of risks. Children talk to strangers onlineall the time. Unfortunately, there are predators who willgo online and look for children to converse with. So, whileyour child may think they are talking to a 13-year-old boyfrom another state, they could actually be talking to a 56-year-old man very close to your home. This is an extremely scary situation and idea to thinkabout, but it happens all the time. The more you know,the easier it is to ensure the safety of your children. If your child is getting strange emails or is conversing withsomeone online that you don't know, it might be worthchecking out. You can first talk to your child and find outwhere they began talking to this person. Predators oftensearch for children who have low confidence or a low self-esteem. This is one of the ways they trap children; theywork to earn your child's trust, and they exploit that trust.Luckily, there are several new websites such as

where you can check to seeexactly who is emailing your child. That's right. All youhave to enter is the email address of the person you'retrying to find information about. You don't need to havetheir name, Social Security number, or address. By typingin their email address, you can find their name, address,phone number, and background records. Thesebackground records are extremely important becausethey contain arrest records for federal and statecorrection facilities. They also contain the facts aboutmisdemeanors and felonies this person may have beenconvicted of, and whether or not they are a sex offender.
