Internet Phobia

Because of the Internet's participatory nature and society's interest in sexual topics, the Police
and the general public have mistakenly begun to look at the Internet as a vast playground for
adults who are attempting to sexually prey on children. While there can be thousands of actual
acts of child molestation each day across the nation within the family households, a perceived
Internet "molestation" becomes a media circus that ends up terrorizing parents.

These "alleged predators" defy all logic: they are supposed to enter homes over the modem
despite all safeguards and precautions. The parents become more afraid of a nameless, faceless
phantom than they are of real live family members who statistically pose a greater threat to
their children.

This phobia becomes even more irrational when it involves homosexuals. Parents look at their
children's monitor in the bedroom as a means for a "homosexual" to kidnap their child and
recruit him/her into the homosexual life style. This form of homophobia is at the heart of the
parent's fear of the Internet--and the hysteria that endangers everyone's constitutional rights.
It is also at the heart of this section.
