As parents, it is our job to warn our children about sexual predators and the dangers of talking to strangers in the real world. This is especially true if our children are female. But how often do we think about warning our daughters of the same dangers on the Internet. There are many people who do not even think about the possibility of running into a cyber bully until it happens to us. The fact is that it happens quite often and teenage girls are prime targets for cyberbullies because they are vulnerable and subject to believing things that many other people would not believe.
To determine if your teenage daughter has in fact become the target of a cyberstalker or other Internet predator, you first need to know what kinds of online activities she is involved in. There are a variety of places to meet cyberbullies, including instant messages, chat rooms, and even some gaming sites. Other sites like Facebook and MySpace are also popular targets for cyberbullies. If your teenage daughter visits any of these areas on a regular basis, the chances of her encountering a predator increase dramatically.
Once you have determined that a cyber bully has targeted your child through their email account, you must act quickly to identify and stop this bullying. The best way to do this is to hire a professional who has the skills and knowledge to perform a reverse email lookup. This type of email research can often be done in as little as twenty-four hours or two weeks. This is probably the most important part of identifying the person responsible for making your teen’s online experiences scary.
When you turn to an experienced and highly qualified professional to perform a reverse email search, you will receive a detailed report on the findings of this investigation. Some of the information you can expect to find in this report includes the offending party’s name, address, and phone number, as well as their place of employment, Internet service provider, and browser type. Other information that may be provided includes which Internet sites this person visits, demographic information such as the location of the computer that the alleged cyberstalker may have used to send the offending emails, and even the operating system of the computer involved.
