A young girl plays in her room. She hears a bling coming from her computer. Her new friend is online.

Her screen name is DancinJessxoxo. Her new friend's screen name is XoSamox143.

She types, "Hi wats up?"

Her new friend XoSamox143 types, "nothin much you?"

Her young hands that still lack the coordination of adult fingers chicken pecks on the keyboard, "Nothing. Sorry I had to go last night. I had to eat dinner."

XoSamox143 replies, "That's ok my mom wanted me to eat too. So where did we leave off?"

For children who are 10, acceptance of friends and peers is directly reflected within their own self-esteem. She's happy her new friend isn't mad at her.

She replies, "You told me that your Dad works in an office building and I told you that my Dad works in the city."

XoSamox143 replies, "That's right. What about your mom?"

She replies, "My Mom works in the hospital. I never get to see her."

XoSamox143 replies, "Same here. My Mom works in the city, my Dad is mostly home."

She replies, "So what else is new?"

XoSamox143: "Nothing. I got in trouble from my teacher today. Are the teachers in your school mean?"

DancinJessxoxo: "No. Not really."

XoSamox143: "I wish I could go there. Where do you go to school?"

DancinJessxoxo: "Burr Intermediate school."

XoSamox143: "I know where that is. It's in Kings Park right?"

DancinJessxoxo: "No. Commack."

XoSamox143: "Oh yeah. My uncle lives over there. That means you are about my age."

DancinJessxoxo: "I'm 10."

XoSamox143: "Me too! We should hang out."

This is an example of the type of social engineering the Internet stalker engages in.

Deadly Internet stalkers are experts in human psychology and their superior intellect is no match for the intellect of a 10 year old.

While this video, written and directed by Ryan Chatel, is a fictional story, it's a lot more real than most people think.

Just two months ago on Tuesday, December 30th, Detective Gary Wright of the Washington County (Oregon) Sheriff’s Department met with a mother who had just found out that an unknown man had bought an plane ticket for her 13 year old daughter.

Detective Wright discovered that Hsiang Pan of San Diego, California, had met the 13 year old via MySpace. Pan convinced the child to travel to southern California where he planned to rent a hotel room and engage in various sexual activities with her.

He bought her the airline ticket and arranged to pick her up from the Ontario Airport. The victim’s mother discovered the purchase and alerted authorities immediately as Pan was a total stranger to her, and she was unaware of the cyber-relationship. Detective Wright called the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Crimes Against Children Detail for assistance. Sheriff’s Crimes Against Children Detectives are part of a national task force called “Internet Crimes Against Children”. This organization provides law enforcement with national networking and training in the exploding area of internet based child predators.

The Sheriff’s Crimes Against Children Detail, Specialized Enforcement Team and the Los Angeles Airport Police, surveilled the Ontario Airport and took Pan into custody when he arrived to pick up the Victim. He was booked into the West Valley Detention Center in lieu of $25,000 bail. His arraignment will be held at Rancho Cucamonga Superior Courthouse on January 2, 2009 at 7:00 a.m.
