HAS CHELSEA, 13 FALLEN INTO THE HANDS OF CHAT ROOM PERVERT?
A MISSING teenager may have fallen into the clutches of an internet chatroom prowler, her distraught father said yesterday.
Chelsea Thomas, 13, left home early on Sunday with a suitcase and caught a train. She has not been seen since - and police are examining her computer and phone for clues.
Her parents Lloyd and Julie were worried about how much she was using chatrooms and text services.
"People who use chatrooms are not always who they appear to be - that's why we are worried about her safety." Lloyd, of Blackpool, added: "You always worry about who your children may be talking to."
There monitoring programs they could have installed when they started getting concerned - The Parental Control Suite does a fine job of monitoring computers.
