Online Troubles

NAS91231

Hello I am new to this group, I am a bit lost my daughter has autism and has been going online alot on apps such as snap chat and yubo.  I have received alot of messages from girls who are concerned for her as men are taking the "*iss" out of her and asking her to do things online that she shouldnt be doing.  She has told me she is just talking to friends online but this obviously is not the case.  It has got serious so I have had to suspend her phone line for her own safety, has anyone experienced problems with their daughter/son online?  Please in need of help!!

  • Wow, that's frightening.

    Most of the "men" online are fairly harmless idiots, but there really ARE monsters out there.

    You've done the important thing, cut her off from it, now you have to do the vital and important thing of getting her to understand the potentially hideous danger she put herself in. 

    My daughter was taught to only do the stuff I told her not to after she was 18. That was the deal that worked for her. Agreements made in good faith both ways worked way better than "discipline" for us.  

    That's all I got.

    thank you, because of her autism/adhd she doesnt recognise fear which is scary enough!!
