DANGER: Newcastle teen targeted by online ‘sexual predator’ – issues warning

Social media connects friends, families and people of similar interests. But who else is lurking online?

PREVIEW – Merely an hour after opening a Facebook account for the first time, a 14-year-old teenager was sent a friend request from a 31-year-old man.

Within minutes, he had her phone number and was sending her messages, requesting that she send him photos of herself.

The teenager is now urging other youngsters to be careful about online predators.

Be sure to get a copy of the Newcastle Advertiser this week for the full story.
