Seduced - The Grooming of America's Teenagers
by Opal Singleton
Released April 2015
This book examines real cases to illustrate how predators use social media and online
gaming to access, groom, recruit and exploit teenagers into sex trafficking, sextortion
and exploitation.
Author, Opal Singleton, has recognized a disturbing trend. Each encounter with a
stranger, every illicit photo represents an opportunity for exploitation. With advancing
technology violence and sex can be portrayed in ways that parallel reality. The result is a
generation of "Desensitized Teenagers". We are at a unique time in history. We have a
generation of teens who have never NOT known the Internet and parents that are
techno-phobic. Parents give kids devices that open the door to over a million predators
that can influence a child's thinking on morality, spirituality and sexuality while they are
competing for approval in a fantasy world. Apps, social media and online gaming allow
ACCESS, GROOMING, RECRUITMENT AND EXPLOITATION of our young people by
total strangers. This book is not just an Internet Safety program. It is a parent and
grandparent empowerment tool. IT IS REAL. IT IS EYE OPENING. IT COULD CHANGE
YOUR LIFE AND THE LIFE OF YOUR FAMILY.
Societal Shift: A world without borders... a home without walls
by Opal Singleton
Released January 2019
2020 and beyond will be the most important times in all of history. For the first time ever, the entire world will be connected by technology. Over SIX BILLION people coming together in ways never before experienced. It will indeed be a SOCIETAL SHIFT.
Think about this. Researchers say that 87% of teens sleep with their phone. A world without borders for our children is also a world without borders for pedophiles, predators, pimps, cartels and other organized criminals. That means while you are sleeping bad guys can access your children.
New technologies are introduced to us every day without instruction or warnings about how predators may use them to exploit children. While most kids will survive with minor injury or exploitation, we are playing roulette with their lives. Thousands of kids each year are victimized through sextortion, social media exploitation, sex trafficking and child pornography. And, new technologies such as encrypted messaging, disappearing video, vaporware (live streaming), cryptocurrencies, virtual reality, animation, artificial intelligence and the dark net provide a technology-freeway to access, groom, recruit and exploit our children.
THIS BOOK IS BASED ON REAL CASES and is ideal for parents, educators, civic leaders, first responders and young people.
