i read a letter that was e-mailed to my partner about this subject by a friend of a friend who works for the police about an e-mail written in the states by a police officer.

It basically starts as a diary of a sex offender who finds a girl on a chat room and tracks here down to here home town 400 miles away , and although this girl had not given here address she had included pictures on here site that showed her with friends and her school photo with the colours and logo .
From this little piece of info he found her school and found out who she was due to the photos that had be posted by her on the site , later that day he followed her from school for a short while then stopped , and each night he waited at the place he stopped the day before and followed a little more untill he had her home address where he sat and waited to get the family pattern to find out when the girl was left alone on a regular basis.
When the day came and she was alone in the house he banged on the door and introduced himself as a long lost friend of the family and is only in town for the day and just though he would pop by for a visit . To make this more real he would take a bag of fake presents in a bag for the family.
He sat there talking to the girl as she made a coffee untill the parents came home talking about there past life with her parents untill they came home , on arrival the parent wanted to know who the guy was in there front room and on this the police man identified himself and explained how he had got there and how it could have been completly diffrent ending.
The police do this sometimes in the states to make awarness of the problem and then go to schools and show how easy it is to be found and hurt.

So just remember - they don't need name , address , telephone number or date of birth just a simple photo can give the information they need to find you!
