Online predators will do a lot of different things to win your trust. These things are
warning signs that you need to be aware of.

Warning Signs
Internet predators will sometimes …

• Pretend to be your age and pretend to have similar interests

• Roam around sites that a lot of kids use

• Encourage you to talk about anything you want

• Deny their real identities

• Ask you to keep the friendship secret

• Try to get you to give them personal information

• Object if you want to tell someone else about your relationship

• Request personal information from you

• Send pictures, and ask you to do the same

Read the following stories. Can you identify any warning signs?

Kaylee’s Story
Kaylee is 12. She’s on a website talking about her favourite hip-hop artists. Someone
with the screen name KoolDave really seems to know his music. After a while, the talk
turns from music to other topics. Kaylee and KoolDave begin to flirt.

KoolDave says, “What do you look like?”

“I’m cute,” replies Kaylee.

“Well, what color is your hair?” KoolDave responds.

Kaylee answers, “Light brown. I wear it in a ponytail with longish bangs.”

A few minutes later, KoolDave asks, “Send me a pic of you.”

Kaylee begins to feel uncomfortable.
