Your Neighbors Secret Life Online PDF Download

Who can resist a real life secret? In the online world that most Americans exist in, many computer users are also living secret lives: e-mail addresses that real-life friends have no knowledge of, screen names that frequent certain chat rooms which family members know nothing about, bank accounts hidden from ones' spouses, text messages traded between people who cannot communicate in any other way. Whether its the two brothers who discovered their uncle's deep, disturbing affinity for kiddie porn on his PC or the online shop-a-holic who blew through her family's budget for things she doesn't even need or the woman engaged in a sexual affair with a twelve-year-old boy she met in a music chat room, Your Neighbor's Secret Life Online is a gripping account of real people with real Internet secrets. Peabody Award-winning investigative journalist Stephen Dean has spent the last five years immersed in researching such behavior on the World Wide Web. Police investigations have been launched because of his work, yielding even more intricate tales; and viewers nationwide were privy to this journalist's confessional interviews with a variety of people who let him peek behind curtains where they never thought of allowing their own friends and family access. These personalities will leap from the pages as readers think about their own friends, co-workers and neighbors having similar secrets, as will the preventative strategies Dean offers to protect your own loved ones from the variety of conmen, scammers and predators lurking in the shadows of the Internet, including the one who could be living right next door.
