Jan, I don't know if you know this, but the average predator in America invests nine months in a victim before they strike, ask the potential victim to self-expose or physically meet in person. | |

The average predator at any given time profiles and engages with 32 potential victims at the same time. | |
One predator, 32 potential victims at the same time. | |
At any given moment in America, there's three quarters of a million 750,000 active predators online right now as we speak. | |

You're talking about millions, millions of American children being profiled as we speak in everyday life. | |
And they don't know what the wolf looks like. | |
They don't know how the wolf talks. | |

They don't know the wolf is in their DMs. | |

He's a coach, a pastor perhaps, an elected official, a maintenance man. |
