It's Just a Game - Or Is It?
This video clip addresses how kids use online gaming not only to have fun but also to socialize with friends and others. A scenario is played out with a girl teen whose screen name is "Tiffanonly" and how she meets a friend, "Rockman," while gaming online. This scenario shows how easily an online predator can find enough information about Tiffanonly to eventually track down where she lives. It also shows what she could have done to avoid becoming a potential victim.
