02  Online Sexual Predator Sentenced to 29 Years

    Social media is a great vehicle for keeping up with friends and family, networking with colleagues, and sharing common interests with others – and it’s an especially popular way for young people to communicate with one another. But, like a car that’s stolen by a bank robber to be used as a getaway vehicle, social media accounts can be hijacked by criminals and others for nefarious purposes.
