Risk factors for victimization offline include talking about sex with strangers and being rude or nasty oneself. Dimitri A. Christakis, MD, MPH, ARCH PEDIATR ADOLESC MED / VOL 161, FEB 2007 “ Online victimization appears to be about as prevalent as in-person bullying, suggesting that it is not a new or added harassment but rather uses a different format .” “ The ways children put themselves at risk in the virtual world appears to mirror the ways they do in the real one.”

“ The increase in exposure to unwanted sexual material occurred despite increased use of filtering, blocking, and monitoring software in households of youth Internet users.“ Online Victimization of Youth Five Years Later , 2006, National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. “ Some youth who did not disclose exposure incidents to parents or guardians said these incidents happened all the time.”

Other findings: Youth are still not telling adults about negative online experiences. “ Some youth who did not disclose exposure incidents to parents or guardians said these incidents happened all the time.”
