Who’s Really on the InternetDanny aka Keith

Do you really know who you are talking to on the internet?

“Danny” from Myspace is actually Keith D. Wilkins who is a registered sex offender in the state of Arizona. He was charged and convicted for Luring a Minor for Sexual Exploitation. “Danny” also lied about his age on his Myspace page.

Enacted in 1996, Megan's Law is named after seven-year-old Megan Kanka of New Jersey who was raped and murdered by a known child molester living just across the street from her family.  Megan's Law authorizes local law enforcement to notify the public about high-risk and serious sex offenders who may live, work or frequent a particular area of a community.  The law has two components - sex offender registration and community notification. The law is intended to give the community access to information and take necessary precautions;  it is not intended to punish, harass or commit crimes against convicted sex offenders.

What is Megan’s Law?

pictures of herself to a boyfriend.

• When they broke up, he sent them to other high school girls.

• The girls were harassing her, calling her terrible names.

• She was miserable and depressed, afraid even to go to school!

• The interview was in May 2008. Two months later, Jesse Logan committed suicide. She was 18.

• I promise not to talk to people whom I do not know.

• I promise never to give any stranger my telephone number or address.

• I promise not to add anyone to my IM buddy list that I met in a chat room because I do not know if they are who they claim to be.
