SEXUAL PREDATORS ON DS ALERT
Sometimes we get sexual predators on DS who try to exploit the vulnerable, particularly young girls. While these represent a tiny minority of people that join DS they can be very persistant.
For your own safety please be alert.
The kind of thing to look for is members that become very friendly and prefer to talk via hugs or PMs rather than on boards. People that want to share sexual details, e.g abuse, in private and ask you to do the same.
Look at the member's profile. If they are for example a 48 year old man you might wonder why they want to friend someone who is 20 or younger. A check of the age of the member's friends might also be enlightening.
But be aware that some predators will like about their age or gender - so the main thing to watch out for is that enthusiasm for discussing sensitive matters in private and asking you to do the same.
Unfortunately as these people are generally careful they often manage to avoid detection and banning by DS. So we need to be vigilent.
Stay safe.

Hey All...I hope that you have a lovely, peaceful beginning of your weekI have a bunch of chores that need doing but may put them off til tomorrow and just hang out with my landlord/roomie todayWhat about you?...Anything special going on?Have a great day and take good care of you!!..Xo
I would just be cognisant of who you are sharing with, what kinds of questions they ask etc
Graphic details would be disturbing for instance and if you have any concerns you can write DS directly at the bottom of the page under "Contact Us" or "Report Abuse' and let the site know what your concerns are
They can check a persons history on the site if need be..... We recently had a member banned that was doing this so we thought it may be a good time to remind people to just be aware...… Big squishy hug.....xo
