Ok. my daughter is 16 and the guy she was talking to is 18. They live over 500 miles from each other. She use to talk to him daily on the phone & computer. I use to talk to him to sometimes and all of a sudden she has not heard from him in over 2 months. How do I find out what really happened to this kid from Kingman, Arizona, his phone number is disconnected and he has not been online for just as long. I just want to know what happened to him, like if he was put in jail, this is very strange.

How do you know this was a kid, and not an adult with a young-sounding voice trying to victimize your child?
How do you know *for sure* that this guy is actually in Kingman,AZ and is not stalking your daughter in your own hometown? It is not difficult to get a cellphone in one state and keep it when you move. I should know, because I've had my California cellphone the whole two years I've been in New Mexico, and nobody I call can tell where I am now.
You're right. This is very strange and scary. I would say keep a VERY close eye on your child, because there are some very sick pedophiles out there who misrepresent themselves very skillfully and prey on children just like yours every day.
Your family is in my prayers. Best wishes to you.

I really don't understand the point of a 16 year old girl talking to a guy 500 miles away on line. How do you know he was 18? I would think since he has drop ed off the face of the earth he was not 18 but most likely in his 40's. At 16 she should be able to meet guys her own age through school, Friends, clubs, sports. No need for her to be on line dating.

Hmmmm.
It's not strange at all.
Good chance is that he had a past and got arrested.
or
already had a girlfriend and others and
he was just playing the both of you......guys and girls online do these things. Be glad he never asked for money!! Like some people from "Lagos" only need $200 for a airplane ticket to the USA!
Did you hear about the Military guy that was engaged to about 9 women and married!!!!
I've online chatted for 5yrs and I'm writing a book about it.
When you are online, you are who you want to be.
Just like the people that go to jail. You are what you want the other person to see you as. (Innocent)
While I was on this one site. A few women that got burned and they alerted all the other women about these men that they had given money to and how the men weren't all they said they were.
They said some men walked with a limp and that they were bald etc etc..............yeah I had spoken to some of those guys and wondered what ever became of them, lol lol
Yes the women had issues also. It was total entertainment for me.
If he was telling you the truth about his name, he should be easy to locate...........just call the jails?. Maybe he's gotten caught by the TV show "To catch a Predator"?.....(hope he hasn't been in any accidents) you never know.
Don't feel dumb, just lucky it went no further.....Online encounters can end joyously, but more than not. There is no such thing as being smart about it, just go with the flow and never meet anyone in private!
I can't remember how many times I've been dumped by the "voice on the other end of the line"....
The best advice I have. Your 16yr old daughter shouldn't be meeting males out of sight on the internet.....it's too risky for a novice adult, no less a child.
MySpace, just shut down 29,000 predators alone!
Hmmm, did she meet him on MySpace. Because they just shut down these guys???????????
Good Luck and just have fun.......unless you're God you don't know.

As a ,mother, you should be more responsible for this kind of behavior instead of joining in. Obviously, the guy didn't want to do anything with your daughter and has no intention to continue having a conversation with you and your daughter. He probably thought you're weird to even joined in. If he's in fact 18. He could be a 40 years old guy with couple kids and the wife found out that he's talking to a team of mother and daughter. You seem hurting more than your daughter.

OK.....you're a mom, correct? Well I'm just a teen but I went through the SAME THING with a guy I meet OVER THE INTERNET. At first, when I started talking to the guy, who said he was 18, SEEMED FINE. But then, he started sending "requesting" my phone number and sending me photos, non-explicit, I started noticing that he REALLY wasn't who he was when he started demanding my time and attention and wanted me to meet him. Plus he looked 40. SCARY BUT TRUE. BEWARE of "guys" who contact and attempt relationships, of ANY KIND, with TEENAGE GIRLS. Teenage boys RARELY go looking for love on the Internet, take this from PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. My advice is THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS that he has not contacted your daughter and is probably in a place he belongs. Respect your daughter's privacy while protecting your child's innocence.

He may be an adult who was arrested for trying to get teens to come see him for sex. Or his wife could have found out, he may have had the phone disconnected and his computer destroyed to try to save his marriage. On the other hand he might have just gotten tired of your daughter.
Did she get his name or address or any information about him like where he worked or went to school? Maybe he headed off for college already or is getting ready to or if he was living with his parents they could have moved.
If she knew his name or parents names she might have been able to find him but I would just let it go online people disappear all the time.

Have you met the guy? On line relationship is not real. How do you know the guy could have talk to several girls at once and perhaps he found someone else?. Who knows if he's married or single?. Your daughter is 16. She should date someone in her school that you can keep an eye on.
Don't encourage her to talk on line with guys. So many bad things happened to on line relationships including adults.

Well, he could be fake. As in, that's not his real age, he doesn't really live there, etc. It's easy to lie to people over the internet, it happens all the time.
Or, he could've just been out to 'cyber.'
You're daughter is the same age as me, and I mean..c'mon..she should be dating someone she can see, and go out with.
To the movies, dinner, etc.
Whatever happened to the young man, she should just forget it, and find someone from her school that she likes.
And, if this guy comes back, then just ask what happened.
