The new on line predator is not the dirty old man with a rusty old van who goes into teen chat rooms in order to lure your child to a motel room or in his van. The new age predator is more likely a lonely middle aged housewife who is divorced or otherwise lonely who sees the bright young man as the son she never had or someone "who understands her" and can be used to further whatever concerns or issues she has in her adult life.
The danger with this new kind of predator is not so much one of a sexual nature, although that may soon be the result of their on line interaction, but one of exploitation. The new predator is one who uses her influence as a respected adult or mother figure to persuade the child to use his knowledge to commit crimes that would cause an adult to be jailed for most of their adult life.
The predator does not care the damage she may have done to the future of the child she has exploited. She only cares about her personal agenda, her adult issues and her adult games.
The predator is unaware that she may have taken away the moral compass that would come into play that would guide the child when he becomes an adult.
As I delve deeper into the recent internet smear campaign of which I was the target, I have seen indications that not one but several women have indeed enlisted vunerable, lonely and "misunderstood" teenage males as part of their illicit agenda.
Modern parents have come complacent using the computer and the internet as the new babysitter for the new generation of "latch key kids" in place of the passive television set of the past.
The internet has become the home of "virtual street gangs" who roam websites and chat rooms for the sole purpose of wreaking destruction for the sole purpose of the LULZ,
In my case, these street gangs are likely being paid for their services. Some of these payments or fees for service include the purchase of internet toys such as Ventrillo (something like skype) computer peripherals, auto accessories or cold hard cash.
What is there about a multimedia chatter who owns a news van that would cause someone to pour lavish amounts of money for the sole purpose of casting him off the internet? The answer to that I do not know. I do however, intend to find out. So far the direction of my investigation leads to recent events and high profile cases in Central Florida. I sincerely hope my instincts are wrong.
Considering who some of the people are that are behind these efforts, I am afraid that my instincts may, in fact, be correct. One would hope the the efforts of these predators and their teenaged recruits do not allow the guilty to go unpunished.

A STORM APPROACHES
There have been some interesting events on the internet over the month or so. It seems that some of the guilt ridden are coming out of the woodwork and starting to write in blogs as a means of a confessional.
I thank those who have seen the errors of their ways and have decided to come forth with the truth about what has been going on all of these months. I only hope that the owners of the larger websites who abandoned me at the peak of these efforts take note and help expose the crimes of the mastermind of the internet smear campaign that I was a victim of.
More on this later.

IT STARTED WITH BALLOONS
I have often been asked "Why did you start following missing children cases?"
In August of 2000, My son John, 25, died of complications of Juvenile diabetes. Two days later we buried him.
The next year, My wife and I went to Grantham park in Mt. Dora, Florida to watch the sunset and to release three balloons. Red, for me, Yellow for my wife, and blue for John. We would go to in front of the lighthouse and watch the sunset over the lake. When the sun touched the lake, we would release the balloons which represented our spirits together in the heavens.
This tradition continued every year around the same weekend of my son's passing.
The release of the balloons on August, 27th, 2006 would mark a turning point that would change my life forever.
We arrived at the part shortly before sunset on that hot and humid August evening. We sat silently on the ledge that went around the lighthouse and watched the sun as it slowly set.
The moment soon arrived where we would release the balloons. After the release, we watched as the gentle breeze carried the balloons off into the evening sky, westward toward nearby Eustis, and perhaps, toward Leesburg, 20 miles farther west. We lingered a bit, watching the stars come out as the sun set, remembering our long ago departed son and the life and times we had with him.
We soon arrived home after the 10 minute drive from the light house. I turned on my tv in time to hear the local breaking news casts that a 2 year old child by the name of Trenton Duckett was missing from his mother's apartment in Leesburg, Florida.
For a week, I followed the news about Trenton and wondered along with the rest of the country, what had happened to him and if he would be found, alive or not.
Soon I began to go onto chat sites on the internet and join in on the discussions about Trenton and what could have happened to him.
As time went on with no answers, I became more and more interested in the case. I noticed that the mainstream media was starting to cut back on their coverage of Trenton as more current news events devloped.
I also noticed that some internet posters were uploading pictures and other materials, mostly from already available sources in the commercial media sites. Since I lived within a short distance of Leesburg, I felt that perhaps those who lived outside of the area would be interested in a video perspective of the places significant in the case. It was out of this that my photobucket site was created.

In retrospect, if I had confined my efforts to just taking pictures of people and places of interest, I may not have the problems I am now having with the haters and professional hackers.
Hindsight is 20/20 and foresight is blind. The truth of the matter, however, is whatever missteps or mistake I made from then on was for one reason and one reason only.
It is my belief that no parent should outlive their child. To out live your ONLY child is a bitter experience that never goes away.
The remarkable coincidence of this case is forever engraved in my mind.
On August 24th, 2000, my son and only child, John died on his way to surgery to repair damage to his heart caused by a heart attack a week earlier. We buried our son on August, 26th, 2000.
Trenton was reported on August, 27th, 2006
The following year, My wife and I released four balloons. The fourth balloon, a white one, represented the purity of Trenton, a child just starting out in life.
This last year, I released the four balloons again, this time alone. My wife of 36 years passed away the previous January of a heart attack brought on from complications of adult Diabetes.
As I end this entry, I sit and wonder the fate of yet another child Haleigh Cummings, and the countless other missing children who do not receive national media coverage.
May god speed their return to those they love and who love them so that another loved one does not have to outlive their child.

A NEW BEGINNING.
Hello Murtards and others. I finally got around to creating a blog. I had planned on putting the blog into my website at Murtwitnessonelive.com but have decided on this location. As time goes on, I will see how this site works out.
There are a number of reasons for creating this blog. The main reason is as an extension to my broadcasts on Paltalk and Ustream. There will be times when I want to expand on an event that I am covering and this will be the location for doing that for now.
Another reason is to address the ongoing internet smear campign by a number of people out there that seem to have a problem with me and my rather small broadcast and chat site.
Rather than generate revenue for the Blog that supports the criminal behavior of some of some of her posters engage in, I choose to address the issues regarding their smear campign here.
Please bear with any typographical errors and other mistakes I may make in the writing of this blog. I am in no way a professional writer, so my errors will abound.
So for now I say : STAY TUNED
