Different Audience

The main point of this article is that, with all the many modes of communication, it becomes easier and easier to take advantage of children and teenagers, especially when so many of these modes of communicaiton allow predators to be anonymous, and hide their real identity. The article goes on to give several good examples of predators getting caught trying to take advantage of kids, but also goes on to warn that many instances are not caught.
I agree with the article, because it's hard for parents to monitor and safeguard their kids' activity. And although many kids may be able to avoid danger on their own, there are also many who cannot.
If I were writing this article with an average middle-school-aged audience in mind, I would also address how kids can prevent problems by going to their parents or teachers or other responsible adults. I'd leave in the examples & statistics to show how dangerous it is, and I would also expand on how to spot and deal with a predator, as well as how to avoid one in the first place. Other than that, I would put into simpler language the details about the courts and other more adult-ish things.
