Not of the universe, just this one pedophile.

Really, the only one? I understand what you are saying, I just listened to them spend several minutes judging Russel Whoever (the english comedian) on his lack of comedic talent for the billionth time. But that is the show, they talk about people and events and judge them. I don't think they have actually executed anyone yet, but there is Keith's justice so maybe some day.

He brought this upon himself. They didn't dig in to an old show, he wanted some attention and got it.

They did not "make you an avatar". I find this lie more offensive than the fact that you killed some dumb bitch.

This is my first time posting on the forums. I have been listening to Keith and the Girl just over a year now. I'm 41, female, single, straight, not drunk and care about this post.

I am a single mother of two teenagers (13 y.o. girl and 16 y.o. boy) and am currently back in college as a biology major.

Even though I listened to this episode several weeks ago, I still think about it. My 13 year old daughter was talking to a guy online who she thought was 15. He turned out to be closer to 50. He lived across the country and she never met him. I found out because I made sure her chat logs were being saved, and I read them. There were things that were said that did not add up. I got very suspicious, and when the chat turned sexual, I started checking.

I have spent countless hours talking to both my teenagers about online predators, and I was totally surprised that my daughter almost fell for one. I have since learned from talking to psychologists and from my college courses that a child's brain physically changes during puberty.

The hormones and growth cycles that a child experiences during this important time causes the brain to redirect synapses, and to actually change in size and shape. Doctors have found that adolescents actually lose their ability, at times, to reason. They don't have the ability to see the big picture. They don't have the ability to see all the consequences of their actions. They have even said that that same child at 8 years old would be able to understand certain things but once they hit puberty, they no longer have that same understanding or mental reasoning. That's scary.

The worse part is, the kids think they know it all and both of those factors make it easier for a predator to manipulate and take advantage.

The nonability to reason is not constant during puberty but all a predator has to do is catch them at a vunerable point and devastating consequences can occur.

I just thought it was a good point to make. There is no way a teenager is informed enough to make their own decision to "date" older adults, and adults who think a child is mature enough, is screwed up.

Thanks for reading my first post.

I'm glad you're not one of those people who gets offended when the forums wants your boobs.
I'm also 14 and I wanna know; how did your daughter react when she found out you were reading her chat logs?

Not good. She was livid! But she got over it. It's my job as a parent to protect her and bottom line, I pay the bills, therefore computer and internet access in my house are mine anyway. I don't like to play that card, but sometimes its necessary. I love her, and I'm the one that would do anything for her, so in the end she got over it.

Wow, 3 posts, 3 FTWs. I hope you post more. It is nice to see mothers/parents who actually do take an active role in raising their child.

Did you punish her?
And when you talked to her about it, what did she say?
I'm really really curious.
Tells me everything, please?
