Teen nabbed in Internet sting
Normally, I’d save these till Wednesday to go with the predator round-up, but I wanted to give this story a special page to illustrate to parents that if you think you know what your teens are doing – trust me, you don’t.
It’s not the 30-something-year-old predators you need to be worried of, it’s your own young teenage kids whop are willing to engage is promiscuous activity. In this case, a 17-year-old boy made friends with and tried to have sex with a 14-year-old boy.
It’s one thing if you condone the behavior (I’m not making a judgment call – either way is fine with me – it’s your kid; and for the record the boy-on-boy thing is not an issue either), but not knowing is, well, just irresponsible and stupid on your part. As parents, it’s your duty to know what your kids are doing – or at least have an idea. Every time some kid is picked up for something illegal, parents always say the same thing: “I had no idea.”
Well, that needs to stop. And believe it or not, we have the answer – it’s called PC Pandora monitoring software. With PC Pandora you can see everything your child does, not only via detailed screen captures, but also by detailed logs of emails, chat conversations, websites visited, keystrokes logged and more. It’s a one-stop program for obtaining the complete knowledge of what your child is doing online. It’ll take the guesswork out of parenting and make you a more efficient and effective 21st century parent. Without it – you are lost.

A Massachusetts teenager was arrested Monday when he showed up outside a fast-food restaurant in Keene to have sex with a 14-year-old boy, police said.
Erik J. Leblanc, 17, of Leominster, Mass., was charged with soliciting sex from an underage child via a computer, a felony, and attempted statutory rape, a misdemeanor.
Keene police detective James F. McLaughlin posed as the underage boy during online conversations with Leblanc, eventually luring him to the Wendy’s restaurant parking lot off Winchester Street, according to police.
Leblanc thought he was meeting the boy for sex, but was greeted instead by McLaughlin, who specializes in busting Internet predators, and his fellow police officers, Keene police Lt. Peter S. Thomas said.
After a brief conversation with McLaughlin, Leblanc was arrested and eventually taken to the Cheshire County jail in Westmoreland.
He was later released on $1,000 cash bail and $4,000 personal recognizance after an arraignment in Keene District Court.
