As children grow older, they want to know more. With the internet being available, this is easier than you think. All it takes the child is a few computer keystrokes, and they would land on the website of their choice. Even with or without the internet, children always find ways to get the information they want. Being online exposes children to a whole new way of discovering things. Or they will access their favourite children's television websites and look at old episodes of their favourite shows. If it does not cost them anything, they will take advantage of what is available on the internet. Even though a child lands on a child-friendly website, some of the sites have chatrooms. Who says the child would not try to access one of such chatrooms? If they are lonely, they can look for new friends online. These are people they have not met before. Eventually, they will start to feel comfortable talking or chatting with them. Little do these children know that they may be setting themselves up for trouble if they are not careful. The person at the other end appears to be interested in "friendship" as well. The relationship gets so intense that the child starts to pour out their heart to them. They would divulge their innermost thoughts and feelings, thinking that the person on the other end will be willing to help them.
