P.S. Just so you know... the organization I work for are one of the organizations that investigate sexual predators / sex offenders (technology is great). Including Middle school children and especially high school students. If you had a clue... there's a lot more teenagers out there getting caught and put into the system than the News/Media reports. Trust that.
