To whom it may concern,
I have made some terribly foolish mistakes in my life and this is one of them. I never understood the severity that online chatting could have until tonight. In the past, I have used yahoo to meet new friends when I was new to city. I have made many friends from years of yahoo experience and have unfortunately met many people that prey on other people.
When I first talked to chellyluvserin on yahoo and she told me that she was 13, I thought "yea right". I had talked to enough people on yahoo to think that this was another lie. I made the very stupid mistake of not telling her that I did not talk to minors in chat. I simply passed it off as another lie from someone pretending to be who they are not in the world of yahoo. The world of yahoo seems full of fakes and I didn’t think much about it until now.
I will never disregard the important of age in online chatting again. I would never want to meet any child for any type of sex. Nor would I ever want to give the appearance of wanting to meet a child for sex. I will never talk to anyone that is claiming to be younger than 18 years old on yahoo no matter if I believe not believe them. I made the stupid mistake of going to meet someone because I didn’t really believe who they said they were. In almost every previous circumstance, when I have meet people from yahoo in person they are never who they say they are and it is until I meet them that I decide whether or not to continue the friendship. I never would have thought that the person waiting to meet me would be a member of an organization fighting child abuse.
I can not tell you the surprise, shock and disgust I felt for myself when I was shown the web page of my profile on your website. I have been so naive about who and what I say on yahoo. I realize that chatting is not a game and it should not be taken lightly. I will never forget this important and valuable lesson. I will never knowingly talk to any child online again. Please forgive me and act with mercy. Please allow me to learn from this reckless mistake and continue be a part of something positive in my community. I deeply regret the poor choices I have made.
