Has Your Teenager Become the Victim of a Cyber Stalker?

As parents it is our job to warn our children of sexual predators and the dangers of talking to strangers in the real world. This is especially true if our children happen to be female. But how often do we think to warn our daughters of the same dangers on the internet. There are many people that don't even stop to think of the possibility of encountering a cyber stalker until it actually happens to us. The fact of the matter is it does happen quite often and young teenage girls are prime targets for cyber stalkers because they are vulnerable and subject to believe things that many other people would not.

In order to determine if your teenage daughter has in fact become the target of a cyber stalker or other internet predator you first must know about what kind of online activities she participates in. There are a variety of places to run into cyber stalkers including instant messages, chat rooms and even some gaming sites. Other sites such as Facebook and MySpace are also popular targets of cyber stalkers. If your teenage daughter visits any of these areas regularly, the chances that she may encounter a predator are drastically increased.

Once you have determined that a cyberstalker has aimed his attention at your child through their email account, you must act quickly to identify and stop this harassment. The best way to do this is to turn to a professional who has the ability and knowledge to perform a reverse email look-up. This type of email investigation can often be conducted in as little as twenty four hours to two weeks. This is probably the most important part of identifying the person responsible for making your teenage daughters online experiences full of fear.

When you turn to an experienced and highly skilled professional to perform a reverse email look-up, you will receive a detailed report on the findings of this investigation. Some of the information you may expect to find in this report includes the name, address and phone number of the offending party, as well as their place of employment, internet service provider and browser type. Other information that may be provided includes what internet sites this person visits, demographic information such as the location of the computer which the suspected cyberstalker may have used to send the offending emails, and even the operating system of the computer that was involved.
