If you haven't had the Internet safety talk with your daughter yet, please turn the car around, drive to her school, pull her out of class, and have it RIGHT NOW.  

--According to a SHOCKING new study out of the University of Cincinnati, 30% of teenage girls in the U.S. say they've gotten together in person with a stranger they met online.

--Now, we're not saying that EVERYONE you meet online is secretly a predator.  But they could be.  You really NEVER know the full truth about someone you meet online.

--Jennie Noll led the study.  She says, quote, "Statistics show that the Internet is not as dangerous a place as, for example, walking through a bad neighborhood.  The vast majority of online meetings are benign. [But] even if just 1% end up in a dangerous encounter with a stranger offline, it's still a very big problem."

--The study found that the MOST effective ways to keep teenagers safe online was direct parental involvement and monitoring their online use.
