PARENTS KEY TO SAFER INTERNET

TEXAS

Parents must go beyond the stranger-danger warnings to protect children online.  Lt. Bill Walsh, who oversees the Dallas Police Department's child exploitation and family violence units said, Just like with traditional cases, there is a prevention role that parents and other people have to play.  Two men have been arrested in the last week, accused of having sex with teenage girls they met online in chat rooms.  Girls are meeting men for sex through chat rooms in the Dallas area.  There have been at least five cases since last March, authorities said.
