YOUTH MINISTRY SNAPSHOT
Katie. com
Katie Tarbox was only 14
when she began an online friendship with a "23 year old named Mark"
who she met in an American Online chat room. Soon
the Connecticut girl ended up alone in a Texas hotel room with "Mark" only to discover that he was actually a 41-year-old pedophile named Frank.
Katie, now 18, wrote a book about her experience, Katie.com, which discusses the dangers of online pedophilia and describes the tormented psyche of a girl who seemed to have it all. Time considers Tarbox's book worth the read. About the dangers of online relationships, Katie now says, "Girls who have a goal, real connections to family and friends, and a sense that a world of opportunity awaits them seem to be inoculated against danger."

The candidates meeting will be held on September 28. A meeting will be held at St. John the Baptist on Thursday, August 17 for the purpose of planning the September meeting. Anyone wishing to help in the planning and organizing of the September meeting is welcome to attend the August meeting.
