Over on the Internet, you'll notice and see a lot of free public chat rooms out there. Yahoo, MSN - the works. You name it.
Chatting to other people around the world can be a great tool to utilize, because you can contact with many other unique individuals you may have never even met before, and its quite obvious that the lines of communication is that much easier for many out there, and it can be pretty fun.
But there's a point when you consider you may encounter someone pretty dangerous or even a potential threat to others including yourself, specifically targeting mainly towards younger children - the stalkers, and the sorts.
To me, I would never want my younger cousin to be chatting with some stranger I hardly even know of right behind my back, and online. I trust her judgment indeed, but sometimes it just doesn't seem right to me. One day she may be having fun - the next day, she might wind up gone forever. That's why I keep everything anonymous, just to be safe.
So the question pretty much is this.
---------------------
Do you believe that the Internet Chatrooms are considered safe these days?
Have you had any bad experience chatting with some of these strangers before?
And would you ever decide to go there just to try it out, if you did have the free time?
As usual, you may bypass some of these questions here.
Thanks yet again for your comments, of course. lol - Peace out.
