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.

Ex-prosecutor goes to rehab - like Amy Winehouse - to avoid jail
Ex-prosecutor enters rehab
A former state prosecutor serving a year of probation has been ordered to continue treatment at a rehab facility after he was thrown in jail for drinking alcohol and violating his sentence.
Collier Circuit Judge Frank Baker extended probation another year, to March, for Richard D. VandenBerg, who was terminated from his job at the State Attorney’s Office in Naples last year, just days before his arrest on cyberstalking charges involving his estranged wife and another man.
Baker also ordered VandenBerg to return to the Willough at Naples for treatment, avoid alcohol, wear an alcohol monitoring device for 60 days, and undergo random Breathalyzer and urinalysis tests.
VandenBerg, represented by defense attorney Shannon McFee, admitted violating probation, and the judge agreed to withhold an adjudication of guilt, as a judge did in March, when sentencing VandenBerg as part of a plea bargain to a reduced charge of stalking, a misdemeanor, and obstruction.
If he successfully completes his sentence, he won’t have criminal convictions. Otherwise, he’d faced five years in a state prison.
VandenBerg was arrested on May 9, 2008, after making repeated phone calls to estranged wife, Renee, and a man he suspected of having an affair with her. At the time, McFee blamed VandenBerg’s problems on alcohol, while his divorce attorney, Tom Grogan, said the couple was having severe financial difficulties that prompted VandenBerg to file for divorce a month earlier.
VandenBerg, a misdemeanor prosecutor, was terminated after not showing up for work for several days and declining to remedy the problem.
Days later, on May 4, Collier County Sheriff’s reports say, he began leaving repeated voicemails on a cellphone belonging to a man he’d seen accompany his wife to his home to gather her belongings, a man he blamed for his termination. The man, a Realtor, led a Bible study group that he attended.
VandenBerg threatened to ruin his business, marriage, and church, and discussed guns and using a machete to cut off the man’s body parts.
On May 6, 2008, deputies in fatigues surrounded his home and he was arrested after resisting. The gun enthusiast was ordered to turn over all guns, but posted $15,000 bond a week later after a judge agreed to his release if he entered The Willoughs.
