Tiffany's Story

Shannon, Now Known as "Tiffany"

Most kids know not to share personal information online, but certain kinds of information come out during the course of conversation— things that, on their own, don’t pose many risks, but when put with other bits of information allow someone to find your child.

These are facts that our kids wouldn’t think twice about sharing. The best example of this is contained in a story I found on the Web. I found it three years ago, at a site that had gotten it from another source. Apparently it’s been circling the Internet for the last three or four years, being sent by e-mail from teen to teen & posted on many personal web sites.

Since I couldn’t figure out who owned it to get permission to republish it, I had to write my own interpretation. (If you own it or know who does, please contact me,

.)
