be lured into something dangerous.

dangers involved when their children
log onto the Internet.
When children talk to others online,
they don’t realise that they could
actually be talking to a harmful
person.
- As a result, there have been many been
cases where children have been convinced
to meet people they have talked with online.

- In fact, story seems to come out.

E.g:

A child or teenage lured into something

foolish, dangerous, or even deadly on line.
 Exposed to extremely
inappropriate materials such as
pornographic pictures.
- While surfing the Web, reading
newsgroups, advertisements, or using
e-mail.

simply because Internet are impossible to
be controlled.

- In other words, children want to explore new

things; yet they are people on the Internet
that are just too persuasive.
