Internet Predators a Growing Problem

Internet predators have been a growing problem over the last decade. The problem that government agencies are facing now is that these predators are becoming more careful now that they know people are out there undercover, looking for them.

Some think that there should be more government agents put on these task forces that go undercover and arrest predators, but naturally this comes with a downside of less people being available for other jobs.

There seems to be a continuing theme that I am encountering in writing these blogs where criminals are using technology to do bad things and the government is always a step or a few steps behind in trying to find a way to control it. Hopefully there is an end to this chase soon where predators will stop preying on children instead of finding other ways to do it.
