they were fishing, but all it took was posting innocuous 11yr old photos to lure them out. i'm part of the OG AOL generation. as an adult i think back to how lucky my friend and i were that we didnt get caught up with pedos because from ~11-15 yrs old, we definitely did heavy chatting with and met up with dudes we met in online chat. shyt could've went all bad, and the internet was new then so people weren't versed on all the threats.
it's a weird place to be in because to fully warn them about inappropriate talk/pics, you might have to go into more detail than you'd like with a kid who is 10/11/12
Yeah I did Prodigy, AOL, GEnie, etc. I did some stupid stuff in retrospect and thankfully the pedos weren't as big a community and self-supporting as now. One chick at my HS though gave some creep her home phone back before most people knew about reverse lookup and he tried to invite himself over
