Fly FM's Fit It show
Personally I love to listen to Fly FM's Big Bang! Breakfast Show. And in one of the segment called Fix It, Phat Fabes and Ben actually help people to fix anything from meeting a long lost friend to selling car!
Today's show a little bit unique and send some goosebumps down my spine a little bit. Nah, it has nothing to do with Halloween though.
It's about a mother who is worrying about her daughter meeting an online friend in the coming weekend. The mother managed to get the '16 year-old' boy's phone number and needs Fat Fabes and Ben to call up the boy and ask him some questions.
Guess what? It turns out that a 30-year-old man actually picked up the phone and without any suspicious feeling he revealed that he is happily married with no 16-year- old son to the DJs.
The mother can't keep quiet any longer and started to pop out and bombarded the man with questions. The man kept denying he knows her daughter. He even warned the mother to keep an eye on her own daughter and slammed down the phone. Phat Fabes and Ben actually tried to call him numerous times but failed.
Personally, it's obvious that this guy will not confess that he is preying on the 14-year-old daughter of the mother. Instead he became so defensive on the phone.
I am so proud of what the mother has done or else what would have happened to the teenager if she meet up with the so-called internet friend who is so much older than her? Moreover he is married.
The internet world can be a very cruel place. Hence parents should learn from this lesson and keep an eye on their children especially those who frequent chat rooms. And children should understand that parents have no intention to intrude their privacy but instead to protect them from being harmed by people with bad intention.

Goosshhh.. 30 plus married man pretend to be 16 young boy to tackle 14 young girl online?
I want to slap the man.. People just 14 years old and still studying and got bright future too..
Yeah, agreed that online dating or making websites sometimes really not that good for youngsters..

I would never let my kids on these internet chat rooms - you hear so many bad things. I don't intrude on my kids privacy but this is one thing where i would make an exception!!!

More awareness has too be created. Many has fallen into this kind of situations without knowing it. Internet is becoming so risky. :)

keeyit: I was just as mad as u too. So glad the mother take fast action to save her daughter.
landlord: agree with you. parents should know when to take action and when it's not.
sam: today's show seriously prove how close the teenager from becoming a victim. she should thanked her mom for taking such drastic action.
