Crossing Guards on the Information Superhighway
You can find almost anything you’re looking for on the Internet. And, unfortunately, you can also find a lot you’d rather not see. It’s not such a big deal for adults, but vulnerable kids need protection. And now they’re getting help. Here’s an excerpt from the Denver Post:
House Bill 1011 makes it a felony to use the Internet to set up a meeting with a child younger than 15 without the parents’ permission. The law also makes it a felony to expose oneself or ask a child to expose him or herself over the Internet and makes possession of child pornography a felony.Before the new bill, police could only arrest a suspect once he showed up at a meeting with the child, and the first conviction on child porn possession was a misdemeanor.
