Cyber Crime Investigators

Not to sound like a 'victim' here, those of you who regularly surf this blog, or have been visiting it lately are aware of just how heated some comments on the previous blog became, the threats that were made and the accusations that were flung around. In the wake of all of this, and concurrent to it, I have also been receiving nasty emails - again.
I have stated before and I will state again, that I belong to some organizations that concern themselves with net safety, harrassment, abuse and other things. I have stated and will state again that I have a lawyer who specializes in internet abuses. Upon his advice, I am posting here a link to an organization that ALL of you (the COLLECTIVE you, not the individual you) may find of interest. I have used it myself, will use it again, and urge everyone to bookmark it. But be warned. This organization is not interested in petty squabbles such as have been going on here on this blog. They are interested in serious and ongoing situations having to do with stalking, harrassment and severe inappropriate use of internet contacts. The organization is called Net Trace Inc. They are Cyber Crime Investigators and can be found at www.nettraceinc.com. As I said, I urge everyone reading this, to bookmark this site. They also have a phone number posted on site and email capabilities.

The existence of this organization and many like it, is proof positive that the internet is and will probably always be used, barring strict government guidelines, to not only convey information, but as a conduit by people hiding behind their belief in 'non-detection' to exercise a sick kind of power over the 'virtually' defenseless. Where there is great good, there is also great evil. And modern society with it's 'throw it away and get a new one' attitude places such little value on much of what we enjoy in our lives today and that especially includes the trust, the feelings and the rights of others whose faces they cannot see, the circumstances of whose lives they can't possibly know everything about, and the TOTAL affect of the words they have written as they are read by their target.

Cyber crime classifications are really still in their infancy. Currently the only enforcible ones are mirrors of crimes that can, or have been, legislated and made punishable in "real" life. But this tide is changing with every day that passes. Millions and millions of people use the net every day and most of them for social networking. This is the category of people who are most vulnerable and in need of protection. Whether you are eight or eighty - it only takes only ONE network site to expose you to cyber criminals. It only takes only ONE person to take a dislike to you for the flimsiest of reasons to make you a target and your life a living hell. Because where there is one - there are many. Whether it be the friends of the one or your bad luck to 'attract' through no fault of your own, the many, the results are the same.

So again , I urge every reader here to bookmark the above site's homepage. You never know when it will come in handy, whether for yourself, a friend, a loved one, or even a stranger you keep seeing constantly subjected to abuse, harrassment, or any other kind cyber crime.
