Soliciting children by computer

For this weekend's Star, I'm working on an in-depth piece on soliciting children by computer. Here's what the story will focus on:

• The county's efforts to catch people
• The sentences predators receive when convicted
• Legislation in the works to up the penalties
• Safety tips parents can implement to help make sure their children don't become victims

I'd like to talk to some local parents to see what they are doing to monitor their children's online chatting. If you're interested in speaking with me for the story, please contact me at 704-484-7000 ext. 120.
