Hello,
My 16 year old neice has been meeting boys on the internet and then meeting them in person... I know she has been talked to about giving out too much personal information but still continues to do it... now I found out she is not just chattin with them she is going out on dates, meeting at the mall with them etc... any advice on what I could do to help? I want her to truly understand that it is dangerous. Her mom is of no help... she actually has her own issues.

Would it be wrong for me to make up an account talk to her and see if she would meet up with me?

Ok and so I make this account and what do I do when she says yes she will meet up with me?

u make the account ask her to meet you somewhere central and then u go and sit there and when she comes make sure she knows that you are the person she talked to and u can even make printout of your conversations and make sure she understands that she will never know who is on the other side of that computor.

Well, if you can't stop her and you know she's going to do it anyway, I would advise her to be safer about it. She won't always get so lucky. I've met many people online, but I was always safe about it. First, I will not meet them unless they have a webcam, so that i can see that they are who they say they are. I ask them to hold up their ID to the cam. I talk to them for a long time before meeting them....and get to know them. If they are pushy about meeting me, then I know they are out for one thing. And the biggest one of all. Always set up a meeting in a PUBLIC place......and throughout the entire date, do not go anywhere private. Stay around people.
That's about all the advice I can give a 16 year old.

Have a parental block put on the computer. Plain and simple. Control what she does on the internet. Block those chat rooms!!! Tell the mother that if that is all she cares then you will get the authorities involved. If you dont take action now the next one she meets might be her last. If YOU are the one she ends up meeting, she might not be intimidated at all but may find it humorous.

I think that is a brilliant idea find out what shes on and make a fake account pretend to be a boy and ask to meet with her thats genius or if you have any friends she doesnt know about tell him to talk to her and meet her then shell be really freaked

Actually, making up an account and meeting her is a great idea. It might show her that people online are not always who you think they are. You could lure her in, make her think she's meeting some hot guy and then you show up. Or better yet, if you know a fat old guy you could get to show up, that would be even better. Hell, see if the local cops could show up to throw a scare into her, to let her see how easily she could be scooped up, thrown into a care and whisked away.

Actually, I think you should make up the account and get her to meet you at the mall.
Then tell her that you had might as well been an axe murderer or a rapist.
Good luck!

Tell her horror stories.
look up videos "To Catch a Predator" online. This is a NBC broadcast. People have posted these videos places. This may scare her. She is 16 though and you need to reason with her...if she can't reason to be safe then she will make her own choices.

Your concern for your niece is admirable and the dangers of what she is doing are very real.
I would say it is fine to make up an account to see if she responds as long as you have a lesson in it for her.
I wish you lots of luck!

hahahaha
that'd be freaking hilarious. you should do the standing with your hands on your hips thing when she gets there, too. you should softly rub her hand when you meet, too. If she freaks out and goes "OMG WHY DID YOU DO THAT???" just tell her that you wanted to spend some quality time with your niece.
There is nothing better than humiliation to make a teen change her behavior.
