One of the ghastliest news stories in recent years was
Through his webcam, boy joins sordid online world , a story that appeared in the New York Times. A shy and lonely 13-year-old boy buys a webcam to try to meet some other teens, and no one shows up but a pervert who asks him to sit in front of his web cam for 3 minutes without his shirt on and he'll send him $50 by PayPal.
This is the most horrible thing I've read, actually I couldn't finish it, because it was making me sick.
