Lauren Nelson, better known as Miss America 2007, has devoted her sovereignty to advancing safety on the internet for children.
“When I was 13, I experienced first-hand the potential dangers of unsafe Internet use. Some friends and I made the fault of giving our names, ages and locatings to somebody online who we later came upon was a sexual predator. After we received unsuitable photographs from this person, we without delay told our parents, and the circumstance was defused without incident. Unfortunately, not all kids are as lucky as my friends and I were. That’s why I feel an obligation as Miss America to support children keep out of the way of dangerous situations online.” Miss Nelson says. Ms. Nelson knows that her platform as Miss America gives her the publicity she needs to get the word out when it comes to the dangers lurking online. The online predator Ms. Nelson encountered, she and her friends “met” online seven years ago. The problem is even more widespread today.
There are tips that I give to kids, there are tips that I give to parents,” says Nelson “Kids, don’t talk to strangers, don’t part personal selective information and implicate an adult if you feel uncomfortable. One of the most public things Miss America has done is to team up with America’s Most Wanted to do a sting operation for men surfing the internet looking for young girls to victimize. Ms. Nelson’s pictures as a teen were used as profile pics and the men believed they were talking to a young teen girl. It wasn’t long after “14 year old Jen” appeared online that men were approaching her to start out sexually oriented chats. Similar to the sting operation viewed by millions on Dateline NBC, America’s Most Wanted lured the predators to a home with the faith that they would be meeting an underneath aged girl for sex. Once the men arrived at the home, they received what was in all likelihood the biggest surprise of their lives: television cameras and America’s Most Wanted host John Walsh, as well as a team of in particular trained cops and Miss America Lauren Nelson were waiting. Recent news has confirmed that these men will go to trial and that Miss America will testify versus them. Ms. Nelson likewise has interviewed sexual predators who are now serving sentences for their internet crimes. In the video-televised consultation with “Simon”, Miss America gets into the head of a sexual predator and gets priceless data in regards to how he operated when committing his crimes versus a 14 year old girl and her 12 year old sister. Simon likewise gave selective information with regards to the types of kids he preyed on and why he preyed on those peculiar kids.
She came from a home with an alcoholic mother. The father had abandoned them. She had low self respect issues. These are the keys and clues that a person using the internet will use to seek and find vulnerable people. Miss America has been named an honorary Deputy Sheriff in Bedford County – a distinction likewise kept by NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal. Both are spokespeople for the Safe Surfin’ foundation, which promotes internet safety and gives info for parents, educators, and fascinated parties. I have included the actual video of Miss America and America’s Most Wanted’s televised sting on my “Internet Safety In The News” page of my site. Feel free to watch this and other videos with regards to internet safety there. |
