writes:ok im friends with this 11 year old girl online. basically im really really scared for her safety, she trusts people online way too fast with her facebook and cell phone number. im truelly afraid for her safety and i tryed to tell her to be more carefull but she isnt listening. so im considering telling her dad about what shes doeing because he doesnt know (i know his cell phone number so im considering texting or calling him). i thought i could protect her but i dont think i can anymore and now im thinking her dad would be better for protection, like teach him how to lock the computer and set passwords and put timers on the computer so if she gets past the locks it will eventually ask for another password after alittle while(again im just scared she is goeing to eventually befriend a perv or a prediter). but i dont know if i should though because she IS one of my closest friends and i know il probably never see her again if i tell her dad. i cant choose what to do, and she meet this person online recently that creeps me out but she refuses to unfriend this creeper on facebook, and she recently gave her cell phone number to him which scares me to death! i cant choose what to do; i know that i SHOULD tell her father what is happening because thats the right thing to do, but if i do this il probably never meet her again and she will hate me. its like im stuck between useing a double edged sword or continue letting her risk her safety online. please help me i cant choose what to do.

Put yourself in place of the parent, wouldnt you want to know if your child was speaking to strangers online.As we know not everyone is who they say they are, and kids are pretty trusting so if I were you i would have NO DOUBT in telling her parents.If anything ever came of it and you didnt could you ever forgive yourself all for the sake of a phone call?Think about her safety first, your guts telling you its not right, so do something about it before its too late.

 I think you already know the answer. Her life and safety will cease to exist if you don't inform her parents. You would be really selfish is you decided it was more important to keep her friendship and risk her life. Tell on her and maybe when she is older and wiser she will look you up and thank you for protecting her. What are friends for?
