Your car or house keys can be great makeshift weapons.
Story:
Israel -- The Haifa District Court on Wednesday sentenced a Kiryat Motzkin man to 10 years in jail for raping a 26-year-old woman he met on the Internet.
The 26-year-old man was also convicted of attempting to rape a 17-year-old girl he also met on the Internet.
Three days after raping the 26-year-old woman, the man attempted to rape a 17-year-old girl he met through the ICQ online chat service. The two met in the Haifa area, where the man led his victim into a secluded alley and attempted to rape her.
The girl struggled with the assailant, and managed to escape after stabbing him in the face with a key.

Bad date
An attempted kidnapping in Chisago County on August 30 illustrates that there is no such thing as a "safe" Internet.
Safe is likely how an Isanti woman felt when she agreed to set up a date with a 32-year-old man, of Forest Lake. After all, they met at a Web site called Match.com, which bills itself as a highly reputable dating service.
The victim told investigators that she and the man communicated regularly online for two and a half months before she agreed to meet with him at a Forest Lake bar.
Yet, even after using a renowned service and spending months getting to know the man, the illusion of safety was soon shattered the night they met.
The victim first became concerned after a dinner in Forest Lake led to the Stacy Municipal bar. She believed that the man had too much alcohol to be driving, and attempted to call a friend from the bar restroom ...

Online stalker program
This seems like a really great idea!
Story:
A new computer educational program, warning children of the dangers of online sexual predators and bullying, launched September 6 in Australia.
Schools around the country today took part in the game, called Cybersmart Detectives, in which children role play to highlight the risks lurking in internet chat rooms.
Authorities use the program to warn that parents should monitor their child's use of the internet, that children should never give out personal information when they're chatting online, and if children want to meet face-to-face with someone they've chatted with they should always take a parent with them.
During Cybersmart Detectives, children work online using a chat-based program and play the role of the deputy principal concerned about the welfare of a new student being bullied in a chat room.

Cyber defense
"Parents are the first line of defense against Internet predators and other online dangers".
"Many adults are under the false impression that MySpace's technology blocks people from viewing the pages of children under 16 without permission."
(Teenagers) often include pertinent information such as ZIP codes that predators can use, and that young teenagers often lie about their age to get on the site.
In Weston, police arrested an adult MySpace user who went to a teenage girl's house, where she and friends were having a slumber party.
"They think they are completely anonymous, but they are not."
