CHAT SITE SAFETY TIPS;
The Naugatuck PD handles a number of crimes that occur from conversations either taking place on chat sites or that originated from a relationship developed on chat sites. While these sites can be an excellent way to converse and develop relationships, caution and safety must be exercised.
Here are some basic safety tips for utilizing Chat Sites:
• Chat sites or forums are OK if they are about sharing information about an everyday hobby or interest. It's best to avoid chats or forums which deal with people's personal issues or problems.
• Always remember that you do not know most of the people, and they can be someone completely different online.
• Never get into 'flaming' someone else on an online forum (ie. insulting them or getting into heated arguments) – you might find that it escalates into more serious harassment.
• Be very careful if you want to meet someone you have met online. The person might not be who they say they are.
• Plan to meet in a neutral place, like a cafe. Don't give out your full name or home address.
