TOM: WE ARE BRINGING YOU INSIDE
A SHOCKING PRESENTATION THAT
POLICE I GET INTO PARENTS AND
KIDS.
IT'S A LESSON ABOUT INTERNET
SAFETY THAT IS SO GRAPHIC, IT IS
ONLY GIVEN TO OLDER STUDENTS, SO
STARTLING, SOME PARENTS ARE LEFT
IN TEARS.
SHELLEY: JEAN MACKIN SHOWS US
WHY INVESTIGATORS SAY IT IS
IMPORTANT TO STEP INSIDE THE
MIND OF A PREDATOR.
BIG, HEAVY SWEATSHIRT.
JEAN: IT IS THE MOST JARRING
PART OF THE DETECTIVES LESSON.
IT IS BULKY AND IT HIDES MY
FACE A LITTLE BIT.
I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE I HAVE
THIS HAD.
JEAN: HE TRANSFORMS FROM A
POLICE OFFICER A PREDATOR,
TEACHING STUDENTS AND PARENTS
HOW ONE POST ONLINE CAN TURN A
CHILD INTO PREY.
I WANT TO GO TO TIM'S ROOM
AND TOUCH HIS STUFF, SMELL HIS
BED AND HIS CLOTHES.
JEAN: IT IS AN EYE-OPENING
MOMENT FOR PARENTS.
IT WAS SO SCARY.
YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING
ON, AND YOU DON'T.
THIS PUTS IT IN PERSPECTIVE
EVEN MORE SO.
I THINK WE WILL HAVE A
CONVERSATION.
JEAN: NEW HAMPSHIRE'S INTERNET
CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN'S TAX
FORCE -- TASK FORCE WANTS A
PARENT TO STEP IN LONG BEFORE A
STRANGER DOES.
IT IS MORE THAN JUST GOING IN
THERE AND MONITORING AS A
PARENT.
IT IS ABOUT GOING ON THERE AND
UNDERSTANDING, WHAT YOU POST A
MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
JEAN: THE TASK FORCE SAYS BOYS
AND GIRLS ARE LOGGED ON AN
AVERAGE OF 11 HOURS A DAY, ON
ALL SWORDS OF DEVICES, AND
PARENTS NEED TO KEEP UP WITH THE
TECHNOLOGY.
LEARN THE LATEST APPS, NOT JUST
FACEBOOK AND SNAPCHAT.
FOLLOW TRENDS LIKE KIK WHERE YOU
CAN VIDEO CHAT AND HAVE VIRTUAL
BLIND AT, TUMBLR, AND SPY
CALCULATORS.
KNOW WHEN YOUR CHILDREN ARE
ONLINE.
INTERNET INVESTIGATORS SAY THE
MOST DANGEROUS TIME IS BETWEEN
11:00 P.M. AND 2:00 A.M. WHEN
PARENTS ARE ASLEEP.
DETECTIVES SAY, TRY THESE RULES
AT HOME.
TURN OFF THE WI-FI WHEN YOU GO
TO SLEEP.
CHECK YOUR PHONE BILL TO SEE
WHEN DATA IS STREAMING.
ALL DEVICES ON THE KITCHEN
COUNTER AT NIGHT, AND THE
COMMANDER OF THE TASK FORCE
SAYS, YES, PARENTS SHOULD SNOOP.
IT IS PART OF THEIR
RESPONSIBILITY.
CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE CAR IS
SAFE WHEN THEIR 16-YEAR-OLD IS
DRIVING.
WHY NOT CHECK THE PHONE WHEN
YOUR SEVEN-YEAR-OLD IS USING
PHONES AND OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA?
THEY SHOULD KNOW WHAT THEIR
CHILDREN ARE UP TO.
JEAN: EXPERTS SAY GAMING SYSTEM
SHOULD BE IN A COMMON AREA,
BECAUSE CHILDREN ARE
COMMUNICATING GLOBALLY.
THE TASK FORCE SAYS PREDATORS
TROLL FOR CHILDREN WHO REVEAL
TOO MUCH PERSONAL INFORMATION OR
POST REVEALING PHOTOS ON SOCIAL
MEDIA.
POLICE CALL THOSE PICTURES
HARD-CORE SELFIES.
THEY SAY, TEACH CHILDREN
APPROPRIATE ONLINE BOUNDARIES.
DELETING DOESN'T WORK.
JEAN: IT STILL EXISTS IN THE
DEVICE.
OUR INVESTIGATORS WILL FIND IT.
JEAN: POLICE SAY PARENTS SHOULD
TAKE A PAGE OUT OF THEIR
PLAYBOOK.
WHEN CHILDREN SHARE A CONCERNING
PHOTO OR POST, ACT LIKE A
DETECTIVE.
THEY ARE TRAINED NOT TO MAKE A
FACE OF SHOCK OR DISAPPROVAL.
WHEN YOUR KIDS OPEN UP AND
TELL YOU A SERIOUS SITUATION,
STAY CALM.
IT WORKED THROUGH THE PROBLEM.
THE MINUTE YOU SHUT THEM DOWN,
THEY AREN'T GOING TO TELL YOU
THE WHOLE STORY.
JEAN: THE INTERNET CRIMES
AGAINST CHILDREN TASK FORCE SAYS
IT TAKES TIME AND HOMEWORK, BUT
IT IS A NEW PART OF PARENTING.
THEY ARE RAIDING HOMES OF
ACCUSED ONLINE PREDATORS AT AN
ALARMING RATE.
JUMPED IN OUR CARS AND DROVE
TO THE COMMUNITY AND KICKED IN
THE DOOR.
ONE PER WEEK ON AVERAGE.
SOMEWHERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
OUR VICTIMS ARE REAL.
THEY ARE MINORS, AND THEY HAVE
FAMILIES.
JEAN: INTERNET INVESTIGATORS SAY
IT IS ALSO APPARENT FOR --
IMPORTANT FOR PARENTS TO SET AN
EXAMPLE.
