Lynn, like I said, this will be an eye opener for the general public. What this will do is "hopefully" lead to programs that will lean toward educating people on how these preditors work. These preditors ARE out there and they all have mastered a way of playing the part of a well respected humanitarian. They purposely put themselves in the roles of looking like they care for the underprivilaged etc, when all that is in reality is their way of attaining victims.

I had mentioned a while back that at my daughter's high school the history teacher was a mentor type to many young girls, including my daughter. And eventually he was caught having a sexual relationship with one of the students. My daughter did consider him a source for bringing her issues and troubles to, and the only thing that stood in the way of him pursuing her, I believe, is that I met him and showed that I was a parent that was involved with my daughter's life. But when I found out how much time my daughter was spending with him "she had lunch with him everyday", it really creeped me out. He WAS grooming my daughter and luckily she didn't look at him any other way but just a mentor. My daughter never told me about her lunches with this teacher, it was not until after he was exposed that I found out.

So, parents have to make sure that they are really AWARE of the mentors their children have.
