An increasingly popular web site poses a threat to Texas children by giving users,  including dangerous sex offenders, an opportunity to conduct live video chats with randomly selected participants.
Armed with only a web camera and internet access, www.chatroulette.com users are paired with a random stranger for a video chat. Neither a login nor registration is required before young users can be face-to-face with a total stranger. Worse, users who simply click “next” are shuffled to a new video chat partner. Attorney General Abbott reminds parents to closely monitor their children’s Internet activities. See the March 18 edition for more details.
