It is now easy for predators to get in touch with minors, trap them into emotional conversations and coerce them into illegal sexual activities. \u00a0Since children are innocent and unaware of the malicious motives of the predators, they show willingness to meet with strangers and put themselves in danger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As per FBI, more than 50% of the victims of online predators are just 12-15 years old.
