2/16/2010 6:47 am |
I haven't blogged for a while, but some new developments that came to my attention pried me out of the blogging apathy that's gotten hold of me because I felt a serious need to get the word out there. A friend of mine was freaking out over the IM because she just caught her teenaged daughter on both the chatroulette and Omegle sites, which are apparently the newest trends to sweep the internet. The premise of chatroulette is that you can cam and chat with random strangers matched up for you by the site, and if you're not feeling some chemistry, you can click on to the next random profile. Naively, I asked her what was wrong with that--the premise seemed harmless enough. She dared me to check them both out. So check them out I did, first logging on to chatroulette (with my cam not enabled--wasn't going to put myself out there just on a whim), where within 10 seconds I realized why she was freaking out. Perverts. A whole lot of them. A whole lot of bird flipping, cyber soliciting, a whole slew of horny college boys asking you if you're a female and would you turn your camera on and raise your blouse so they can check your boobs out. Disturbingly, kids on cam, making me wonder where the hell their parents are considering the plethora of perverts I encountered there. Close ups of the male organ being worked to a frenzy, making me wish whoever those idiots were on the other end of cyberspace would pull a nerve and do themselves a major injury. I lasted all of 10 minutes. Omegle wasn't much better, although this one had no webcam involved, just random chatting with strangers whose age or gender remain unknown unless it was volunteered. A lot of kids on that site. A LOT of kids. A lot of perverts as well, and boy, did I have fun with THOSE. My foray into the Omegle world went thus: You are now chatting with a random stranger. Start typing! Stranger: Hi Me: Hi Stranger: asl? Me: Female, somewhere in Asia. You? Stranger: Milano, male. Me: Oh, that's lovely, Italy's wonderful. Stranger: Can I ask you a question? Me: Shoot. Stranger: Would you like to see Italian c**k? Me: No thanks, I bet I've seen better salami. *Disconnect* You are now chatting with a random stranger. Start typing! Stranger: Hey! Me: Hey! Stranger: I've got a big d***! Me: I bet mine's bigger than yours! Stranger: WTF??? *Disconnect* You are now chatting with a random stranger. Start typing! Stranger: I'm a girl with big boobs and I want to talk dirty! Me: Honey, I'm gay. Bet they're implants, too. Stranger: *Disconnect* But there were some connections that were actually worthwhile. The young Korean college student who wanted to be a policeman and needed someone to practice his English with, and was so profoundly grateful for the impromptu English lessons I gave him that it touched me. A 17 year old new mother who needed a break from breastfeeding, and was feeling depressed and disconnected from her friends. A 19 year old young man who was so impressed with the fact that I knew who Yngwie Malmsteen was that he dropped his guard and took me to his metal band's FB page, pronouncing me "major cool" for a 41 year old matron. On the whole though, I have a beef with these sites, simply for the fact that they are SO unregulated it's only a matter of time before some pedophile pretending to be 17 catches a 14 year old unawares (and yes, some admit to being actually younger than 14--I'm just hoping they're all undercover cops patrolling the site, though that's too much to wish for), if it hasn't happened already. So this is really me sounding the alarm to parents out there, and to those who have young, computer savvy relatives. As if we needed any more reasons to be vigilant over the web. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion. |

Yep ... there are lots of reasons to be sitting in a co-pilot chair as our kids navigate the internet to do the necessary bits for homework and the fun stuff too.  Sometimes even searches for homework information bring up web sites that are embarrassing to both but can lead to some conversations that can be instructive.

Nice to have and "Old" blogger back. From what you say.... I don't even think I would go to these sites... Not even for a laugh or wind up.. FF is boring... but at least the hits I get here are only round the head, and cyber soft.  Be nice to Girlies, or else they will Cry.

It's been awhile girl, I hope your doing well. Parents go to great lengths to protect their children from physical harm and exploitation, pornography and unacceptable literature. I'm always amazed that they have such a relaxed attitude to their children's computer use. I'm glad your friend is such a prudent parent. That's the thing I don't get about parents. Take my son's PSP (Playstation) unit, for example. When we bought it for him my husband and I decided not to have it unlocked because we didn't want him to be able to download just any game online. The seller told us we'd be losing money because we'd be paying for games that can be downloaded for free. We stood our ground. Our principle was, we'd rather pay for games as long as we can control and supervise the content my son is getting, instead of giving him untrammeled access online to games which were inappropriate. Which is exactly what's happening to his classmate. 11 year olds playing games rated M (for Mature Audiences only), with all the violence they entail. Thanks, but no thanks. (Of course, son has been raising a ruckus over the fact that his classmates can access ANY game on their PSPs and he's the only one who can't, proving once more just how lackadaisical parenting has become these days) I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

I read an article about chatroulette the other day, but didn't bother looking. The old warning, "Don't talk to strangers" is as true as it ever was, if not more so. Parents have to realise that this doesn't just apply to the street. The street is now inside the home. I looked up what the netizens have been saying about chatroulette and similar sites, and was struck by what one woman said in an online article: "Going into these sites is like practically inviting a pedophile into your home." Bloody terrifying. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

Welcome back.... And it's not the internet that's the problem--it's the way it's being used and the lack of monitoring by parents. Seems many parents are not being parents.... When I read about teachers having to phone students to make sure they make it to exams...I shake my head... Why the heck are people having children if they don't want to do the job of raising them????? All I can say is that I'm glad I'll soon be leaving teaching--tired of being a parent as well...that's not what I signed up for. If you aren't prepared to raise your children and make them face consequences, then do us all a favour: use birth control. Yup...guess who is tired and fed up? and it's only February...how many more months 'til summer??? And I think I just ranted in your welcome back blog....jeesh... Hope you had a wonderful Chinese New Year's complete with exploding chocolate tigers (just to fit Valentine's day in there as well...) Wishing you happiness Misty

There are so many new things popping up on the world wide web it's so hard to keep track of them, Linc. It was just by happenstance that I found out about it myself, through my friend. I do hope more parents and the authorities become aware of this. I can't shake off the feeling the net's become a free for all, so the constraints will have to be made by us, within our own homes. Thanks for dropping by and for the warm words. Hope that this finds u, happy. This 1s a stranger in blogosphere. Regarding your worrry, yeah as Linc had told that these are new 4 me like him. But yes, these do harm n may spoil the childhood. With warm regards, M.K.Pachraiya, Salboni, India

Hello Anna; good to see you do some fingertip-fluttering here again. Yes, I couldn't but agree with your sentiments and with those who've responded. I just looked at Chatroulette site - pretty nasty, a bunch of young fellas gaily waving their appendages. Misty's comments about parents and their sense of responsibility is one I often rant on about. It seems they're too ready to abdicate from responsibility rather than merely delegate. Yeah, raise 'em yourselves or don't have 'em! (I know there are financial difficulties in many families but the willingness to presume the state and the schools should take responsibility is grossly overdone, in my humble opinion.) I hope you and yours are well and thriving.
| ||
2/21/2010 6:03 am |
I'm shocked to learn about what young people are behaving on those sites. I think parents, teachers, and the entire society should work together to divert the attention of those teenagers to something that is healthy. Their obsession in seeking such excitement online might reveal that they have, more or less, not been given enough attention from either their parents or their school. Biiiggg hugs for having you back!

Yikes this makes me very glad that my daughters made it safely to adulthood and brought back a bad memory of when my oldest daughter was just 14 or 15 years old  and how some 26 year old perv had found her on myspace and almost talked her into meeting him and running away to a far-away state  she thought she was in love with a man she had never even met  But my ex-wife was a snoop and kept track of what the girls were doing on-line And we had to put a stop to it and take away her computer privileges for a while  She did thank us for stopping it many years later. I hope they shut those sites down as I can see how the "bad people" could use it to trick many children into child slavery or worse

I hope they shut those sites down as I can see how the "bad people" could use it to trick many children into child slavery or worse A good online friend of mine who earned his wisdom from hindsight had this to say to me about the lesson he learned after finding out his son was doing drugs--"Privacy is NOT a right afforded to children in your household. As a parent, keep track of everything they do." He said his son constantly locked himself in his room as a teenager, and as a "modern" father, he thought his son deserved his privacy. Too late did he learn that his son wanting to be alone was due to him doing drugs in his room. So as parents, we need to be always on top of everything happening to our children, which means communication, communication, communication, and yes--snooping--when necessary. I'm dyslexic.

Hiya miss Munchkin Yikes Like Tex8can I'm glad that my kids are grown up now And wisely educated to know whats what! As I fix computers for a living, I'm surprised on occasions that many parents dont even know what theyre kids are upto online or dont even know how to check the history. With kids being kids and having friends over etc.... I reckon its best to keep their pc in the living room where a parent can keep an eye on them and educate them to the pitfalls in the jungleout there. I'm dyslexic.

Welcome back Ana Agree with Misty, quote: it's not the internet that's the problem--it's the way it's being used and the lack of monitoring by parents. Seems many parents are not being parents.... When I read about teachers having to phone students to make sure they make it to exams...I shake my head... Why the heck are people having children if they don't want to do the job of raising them????? unquote To be a parent requires dedication, patience, and discipline ... supervising and teaching your children right from wrong. If there are underaged children on sites as such, the parents are not doing their job. On another note, I did like your 'chats' recall Ana, especially the Italian, lol Have a lovely week dear, and do join us more often Renee It's better to smile and have dimples than to frown and have wrinkles

I also pronounce you as being "major cool"! I agree. There are too many weirdos out there in the world, and now days the internet is too readily available. I can imagine that it must be a challenge for parents to try and regulate their child's internet usage at home, but then all they have to do is visit a friends place, internet cafe etc; It is indeed very scary as a upcoming parent that there are people out there in the world like this, but I think most of the onus would have to fall on the parents to educate their children and what/how to avoid these individuals. Note the above 'upcoming parent' comment. I am going to be a Dad!

The internet is full of garbage. Unfortunately I highly doubt that will ever change. However I have heard that Companies are starting to hold their employee's accountable for what they choose to post in online forum's (i.e. FB etc which has its draw backs, but in the case of these delinquents it could have some advantages. I think a lot of it can be avoided with parents educating their children from a young age to stay off these type of sites. You can only block them with parental controls at home, but they can still go on the sites on other computers. I believe if they are educated early it will be more en-grained in them and changes are better they will avoid these types of sites. Hope all is well with you

Hi there Munchkin! Thanks a million for the information provided with a very interesting and humouristic twist as always! I won't look totally ignorant if ever someone comes up with the names of those websites. Still smiling. Good post. PT xxx
