IMVU: Instant Messenger Virtual Universe. IMVU is a program you have to download and install. If you are a novice computer user all you would have to do is search for "IMVU". I've seen ads for it everywhere, finally decided to check it out. It's not bad, "met" a few good people on there. One in Israel, would really like to find out what his life is like over there. Another in England, another who lives in Cleveland now but went to UW-Madison, etc... So it's not all bad. Without going into much detail I was searching around checking out all the different rooms they have. Found one with a 49-year old man, with four 13 to16 year old kids, three of them girls. Decided to check it out. I was hoping maybe it was just a father away on business using it to "see" his kids. That is not what I found. What I found and what the pervert said to me when I entered the room, made me sick. I am trying to tell myself that it was a trap room designed to catch preditors, and those "kids" were actually cops. Please if you have children under 18, as I do, or hell of any age really, even your parents who are probably not the most computer literate, remind them not to give out any personal information over the internet. Ask them if they have heard of these various chat sites, are on them, and make sure you can verify the real identity of who they are talking to. I know there are so many things today that we cannot keep them from being exposed to. This however is not one of them. Sorry if this sounds "preachy" or a "yes, we all know that" type of thing. I was just very disturbed over the entire experience. If my one email here can help protect even one child from those wastes of human life, it will have done some good. Thank you.
