"When I was 13, had I the potential dangers of insecure Internet use firsthand." Some friends and I made the mistake our name, age and location type for someone online, we later discovered was a sexual predator. After we receive inappropriate photographs from that person, we told our parents immediately, and the situation was defused, without incident. Unfortunately, not all children are as lucky as my friends and I were. That is why I feel an obligation as Miss America, children, to avoid the dangerous situations to help online.
