Virtual World Hazards

Strategies:

There is only one main strategy to prevent the dangers of predators on virtual worlds-- they gain access to victim's names, their ages, and even their addresses by simply asking for them while trying to be trustworthy. The only thing people can do to prevent attacks is to never share any personal information with anyone they meet in any chatting game. It's as simple as remembering that one rule. Parents should talk to their children about the dangers of online chatting and let them know the risk of giving away any trackable personal information.

With intentions like theirs, predators can track someone down easily with only small key pieces of information. Giving away things like your address or your full name and your province or state is asking for problems. As long as people learn to get this rule down and keep their personal information personal, there's no other tracking way for a predator-- people are safe from harm.
