We tend to focus on kids getting in trouble on the Internet, but in my experience it's adults that get in the most trouble.
The frightening story of Desmond Gregor's African adventure is an extreme example of the story.
Over the years, I've seen a lot of relationships fail because someone has got themselves involved in something over the net. It's varied from financial scams, through online dating and Internet porn.
One of the saddest was a friend of mine who was surfing a notorious website that features bad taste pictures like autopsy and crime scene photos. One of the photo names suggested a kiddie porn site.
My mate's partner saw this in the browser history and assumed he'd been looking at kiddie porn. The ensuing row finished their relationship.
The Internet's a big scary place. It pays to be careful regardless of how old or street wise you think you are.
