My girlfriends little sister is like that. We try and limit her time on the cpu 
as much as possible, but its no help. I try and tell her that terrible things 
could happen but she always insists shes talking to friends, but when anyone 
walks into the room all the windows she minimizes very quickly. One day im just 
going to force her off and see what she is really doing, to many sickos out 
there.

has been dealing with is my daughter and and constantly getting into trouble 
online.  Since she was just barely a teen, my daughter with very little 
internet savy has been able to get into conversations with 'boys' in a matter 
of minutes.  She doesn't understand that these boys could be 40 or 60.  Nor 
does she even care.  

We have taken away her internet over the years, and then limited it to the 
computer in the dinning room.  Just recently I found that even though the only 
site she goes to at home is checking her email, she still is writing strangers. 
 She goes to several websites, some even at school, and collects addresses and 
writes them when she gets at home.  Dispite our being very proactive over the 
years, she had gotten into a whole othere world.  they were all sexual in 
nature and pretty discusting.  

Here we followed guidelines for child safety, and she still managed to get into 
trouble.  Needless to say - she is completely off the internet at home and 
school.  The part that surprised me was there were sites that told you how to 
prevent this, but none told us what to do once we found this out.  We found 
that in our case with our daughter that her problem involved more than just 
nasty emails.  We did have to go a lot further than just eliminating her email 
and internet access.
