FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

HOW SAFE ARE OUR CHILDREN?

SAN DIEGO, CA – At a time when violent crime nationwide is on the decline --murders down 13 percent from 1999 --one crime statistic is haunting the criminal justice system. The killing or injury of children by their parents or stepparents shows an alarming rise. Between 1976 and 1997, approximately11,000 children were murdered by those who gave them life or were supposed to give them care. Thousands more were the victims of life-threatening injuries.

The disturbing reality of escalating child abuse in the United States today is driven home daily by shocking news reports and television broadcasts. In San Diego, a seven-month-old baby girl was burned over eighty-five percent of her body when the child's mother left home briefly to run errands, leaving her baby alone with a boyfriend who police say put the infant in scalding water in the kitchen sink.

In Springfield, Missouri, an ex-lover and allegedly the father of an unborn baby, murdered a nine-months-pregnant mother and her three young children. He confessed to committing these crimes along with his new girlfriend. In Houston, Missouri, the Texas County prosecutor charged Bobby Mayes with killing his wife and teenage stepdaughter. Mayes had a prior record of eight felony convictions from sexual abuse to burglary.

With tragedies like these reported in every part of the country, major concerns arise as to who may be trusted with our children.

A Child-Abuse Profile?

Present Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics reveal that more than thirty-five percent of our children are being raised in households with only one of their biological parents and may include a stepparent or an unmarried partner. Statistically, a child in that situation shows a forty times greater chance of being abused than when living with two biological parents. Small wonder that the increases in child abuse are skyrocketing, up from 400,000 reported cases in 1976 to almost 4 million reported cases in 1997.

Nor is it surprising that in this era of information and cyber-technology, concerned parents and grandparents are turning for help to one new website on the Internet. WhoisHe.Com and WhoisShe.Com reports having received thousands of requests from parents and grandparents to do background and criminal record checks on the new stepparent or significant other of their ex-spouse.

" In the past year there has been a tremendous increase in the number of persons wanting us to do investigations of this nature," notes Linda Alexander, a Southern California attorney and website founder. "Parents and grandparents want to protect these children from potential abuse."

Alexander 's online company specializes in a wide variety of comprehensive background checks and criminal record searches designed to verify if persons are who they purport to be. Have they ever used an alias? Do they have a criminal record? Have they committed domestic violence? Are they a registered sexual offender? A pedophile? Finding the answers to such questions is all in a day’s work for Alexander and her staff of professional web sleuths. She reports that the website has over three quarters of a million hits each month.

The service also assists in tracing lost loves, friends, estranged family members and old army buddies,
cyber-romance, potential mates, employees, business partners, nannies, in-home health care workers --to find out if they are really who they say they are. The cost of the service provided by WhoisHe.Com and WhoisShe.Com range from $45 to $89.

WhoisHe.Com and WhoisShe.Com has been widely recognized this year, on CBS’ “48 HOURS" and the CBS Early Show; in People Magazine, listed in Yahoo Internet Life Magazine's top 100 sites for the Year 2000, and will appear in the October, 2000 issue of Entrepeneur Magazine.

The site’s motto says it all… "when in doubt, check them out"….

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ARE THEY REALLY WHO THEY CLAIM TO BE?

SAN DIEGO, CA – Pamela F., a 54-year-old divorcee in Long Beach, CA, found out the hard way that things are not always as they seem. She lost her heart--and $30,000--to a man who claimed to be a screenwriter but who turned out to be a convicted con artist, artfully wooing her in cyberspace from state prison. In Milwaukee, WI, Scott J. met the girl of his dreams online, flew to New York to see her, then suffered an eye-opening shock. "She told me she was 33; but she was really 47 and she forgot to mention that she was still married. I was so disappointed," he lamented. P.S.-- he was also out $649. in airfare, plus.

These two scenarios are typical of an age-old problem that has become all too commonplace in our digital age. "Liar, Liar" is a recurring refrain; but often the truth comes too late. In Detroit, MI, police found the battered body of a young French woman who had flown to the USA for a romantic weekend with her American cyber-Casanova.

As we have entered the new millennium the Internet is evolving into a major meeting ground, one that affords us access to people all over the world and draws us daily into online relationships with individuals we have not yet met. The concerns—and dangers—of meeting others in this manner are rising exponentially. So it is no surprise that one new website has already clicked with hundreds of thousands of netizens: WhoisHe.Com and WhoisShe.Com.

Playing it Safe Online

WhoisHe.Com and WhoisShe.Com is a professional service designed to verify if persons are who they purport to be. Are they married? How old are they? Have they ever used an alias? Do they own property? Do they have any bankruptcies, liens or judgments against them? Finding the answers to such questions is all in a day’s work for these professional web sleuths—or is it snoops?

The brainchild of Southern California attorney Linda Alexander, WhoisHe.Com and WhoisShe.Com is an online company that provides comprehensive background checks and criminal record searches. According to Alexander, the website averages 750,000 hits per month, with as many as 15,000 in one hour. People are swarming to use this service to check out their online loves, dates and potential mates. But though Alexander reports that the mainstay of inquiries involve cyber-romance, she says that many seek facts about potential employees, business partners, nannies, in-home health care workers and tenants--to find out if they are really who they say they are. The cost of the service provided by WhoisHe.Com and WhoisShe.Com range from $39 to $75.

In addition to online safety tips, Alexander launched a new section to the website called Internet Horror Stories. These will warn of many dangerous situations that have happened to others who have met online. Readers wishing to contribute an online story may do so at horrorstories@WhoisHe.Com. The site will also post success stories and those can be submitted to success@WhoisHe.Com.

The service also assists in tracing lost loves, friends, estranged family members and old army buddies. Alexander says she is constantly amazed that everyday brings new reasons why people are using the service. "The concern for people meeting others in cyberspace is to be smart and safe: to be in control of their future. To know what they are getting into before they invest their heart, money, or their life," she sums up. "Information is the key."

The site’s motto says it all… "when in doubt, check them out"….

PLAYING IT SAFE ONLINE
Written By Linda J Alexander, ESQ.

SAN DIEGO, CA - The Internet has become the hot new place for smart, eligible people to find romance, and those looking for love are swarming into cyberspace. As a result, many individuals have begun relationships online with people they have not met and know little about. With so many people communicating via the Net and deciding to date virtual strangers, it is important to be safe and be smart. Common sense can go a long way to keep you safe. Here are some guidelines for playing it safe:

Watch out for someone who seems too good to be true.
Begin by first communicating solely by email or online chat. Be vigilant in noticing odd behavior or inconsistencies. If someone is evasive, this is a red flag. "Listen" to your correspondent's words. The person at the other end may not be who or what he/she says. Trust your instincts. If anything makes you uncomfortable, walk away for your own safety and protection.

Find out as much information as you can.
Learn to ask many questions. Find out where he grew up, where she works, and how he is connected to his community. These are clues to finding out who this person really is. Be suspicious, if someone is unwilling to reveal any personal identifying information. Probe any discrepancies in their stories. If your correspondent is unwilling to answer your questions, this is another red flag. Continue with a great deal of caution.

Honesty is the key to success.
Represent yourself accurately. Exaggerating or deceiving is easy online. Areas to be particularly cautious about are marital status and physical appearance. Begin with a request for a picture and send them a recent one of you. If someone is unwilling to send a recent photo, this is warning sign. If he or she continuously comes up with an excuse, it is because that person has something to hide. Having a scanned photo is available at Kinko's for less than ten dollars, so there is no valid excuse for not doing it. After you have exchanged photos, continue to fill in the gaps, so that the other person does not create you in their image. Keep it honest.

Talk on the telephone and continue to learn more about your correspondent.
A phone call can reveal a lot about a person's communication and social skills. It is worth the cost of the call to protect your security. But do not give out your phone number to a stranger. Trust takes time to develop. Only when you feel completely comfortable should you furnish your phone number.

Don't rush into anything.
Meeting someone online and then arranging a date in a relatively short time can be dangerous. Take time to find out who this person really is. If someone is pressuring you to get together before you are ready, this is another warning sign. If anything feels strange as you get to know this person, then it is time to back away and look for another match.
If you decide to meet for a date, proceed with caution. Arrange the meeting on your terms. The following is a guide to ensure that you have a safe encounter:

Before You Meet
Before you go out with someone new, it is important to get as much information as you can about the person you will meet.
1. Always ask for a full name, address, and telephone number before agreeing to go out with someone you have never met.
2. Never go out with someone who will only give you a pager or work phone number. (There is a very good chance of a spouse in the house.)
3. When someone gives his or her phone number, find a reason to call unexpectedly. This may help you to find out if she is married or he is living with someone.
4. Find out where the person works and if you can call him or her at work

First Date Know-How
Be careful when agreeing to meet anyone in person. Set the conditions for your date and do not let the other person change them. Remember, you really do not know someone until you spend time with them in person.
1. Always tell someone where you are going with your date and when you will return. Leave your date's full name and telephone numbers with that person and write it down. For a small fee, you can leave information regarding where you are going and all the pertinent details with a service called SmartDate at http://www.smartdate.com. If your date wants you to keep it secret, this is a very big red flag. Protect yourself.
2. Always meet in a public place that you are familiar with on your first date. Stay near other people in a lighted area. Getting together for coffee is a pleasant, casual way to get to know someone.
3. Never allow yourself to be picked up from your house. Giving your address out to a stranger is not safe. Arrange your own transportation so that you can leave if there is any sign of trouble.
4. Pay attention to everything that this person has told you about him or herself. If you find out that your date has lied about anything, this is another red flag.
5. Do not bring your date back to your house after the first meeting. You do not know this person. Use the same kind of common sense and rules that you would use in any type of dating relationship.

Be smart and be safe. Take control of your future. Know what you are getting into before you invest your heart, money, or your life. Information is the key to being safe online.

SENIORS FIND LOVE ONLINE

Love and romance is not limited to the young. Sometimes it is found by the “young at heart.” Many Seniors are swarming online to meet others who share their passion for living life to the fullest.

Even though they may be miles apart, the computer allows Seniors to connect and communicate with people all over the country. While they may begin with a friendship sharing their common experiences such as the death of a spouse, or the loss of their friends, many Seniors are finding love and romance online.

Linda Alexander, a California attorney who runs a website called WhoisHe.Com and WhoisShe.Com , claims that a growing number of Seniors are using her website to check out their “online love.” Alexander says, “Many of the Seniors who contact her, claim they are doing a background check to make their children feel more comfortable about the person they are communicating with.” On the otherhand, they maybe planning to take a trip to visit their online love and just like others who use her service, Alexander states , “the Seniors feel the need to confirm that the person they have met online is exactly who they say they are.”

DANGERS OF DIGITAL DATING

As we enter the new millennium the Internet is evolving into a major meeting ground, one that affords us access to people all over the world and draws us daily into online relationships with individuals we have not yet met. An increasing number of people are using the Internet to meet and get acquainted with potential mates. While many of those online interactions do bloom into friendships and relationships, a small number do not have happy endings.

Beth Wadsworth learned this lesson the hard way. When Wadsworth began exchanging emails with Thomas Abney, she thought she, too, might have found love on the Internet. It turns out that what she had really found was a dangerous man who would try to kill her.

Wadsworth met Abney in 1999 while surfing the Web. The two hit it off and began corresponding. "We just started talking and trading information about our lives," says Wadsworth. " We seemed to have the same values and morals."
After only one month of emailing each other, Wadsworth invited her potential new love to visit her. Abney flew to San Diego, where Wadsworth lives, and the two spent some time getting to know each other off-line. Abney wasn't who he appeared to be, however. When the visit was coming to an end, he turned violent without warning. "He jumped on me and started strangling me," Wadsworth remembers. "I was totally in shock."

When it was over, Abney had attacked Wadsworth with a claw-hammer and slit her throat with a steak knife. He then took Wadsworth's wallet and car keys, leaving her for dead.

"I don't remember being hit, but I had three gashes in my skull," Wadsworth says. "He probably thought I was dead when he left."

Beth wasn't dead, however. She managed to call ‘911’ for help, and Abney was arrested at the airport. He was eventually convicted of premeditated attempted murder, robbery, and auto theft and was sentenced to life plus 14 years in prison.
"I felt pretty stupid that I'd let this stranger into my house, and this is what happened," Wadsworth says. "I will never meet anybody on the Internet again."

d other singles aren't unique to online dating, the anonymous nature of the Internet does make it easier for people to be deceptive about who they are.

With the concerns—and dangers—of meeting others in this manner rising exponentially, it is no surprise that one website has already clicked with millions of netizens: WhoisHe.Com and WhoisShe.Com, a professional service designed to verify if persons are who they purport to be. Are they married? How old are they? Have they ever used an alias? Are they really a doctor? Do they have any bankruptcies, liens or judgments against them? Do they have a criminal record? Have they committed domestic violence? Are they a registered sexual offender? A pedophile?

“Know what you are getting into before you invest your heart, money, or your life,” says Linda Alexander, a Southern California attorney and website founder. WhoisHe.Com, which works under the motto, "When in Doubt, Check Them Out," offering background checks, personal profiles, criminal and civil record checks for potential mates, prospective employees, in-home service providers, future step-parents, business partners and nannies. The cost of the service provided by WhoisHe.Com and WhoisShe.Com range from $39 to $75.

"About 60 percent of the time, we find that people aren't telling the truth," Alexander claims. Background checks, criminal and civil record checks are important, according to Alexander, because it's easy to be deceived when looking for love online. "You do not have the same visual cues about someone as when you are face to face with a person," she says. "Somebody behind a computer screen, can be anything they want to be\. You have no idea who's on the other side of that screen. We tell our clients it is important to Be Safe and Be Smart. To take control of your future. Information is the key.”
A similar check could have helped Wadsworth. For instance, Abney had told Wadsworth that he had never been married, but Alexander found a civil record for a divorce. Alexander says that background and record checks would have revealed that Abney had lied about many personal details, which might have served as a warning to Wadsworth. "It tells her that the man is not telling the truth," Alexander asserts. "He's a liar. He has something to hide in his life. I don't know if it tells her that he's going to swing a hammer over her head and that he's going to beat her almost to death, but I think it is enough to say, 'Watch out, red flag, don't let this man in the door.'"

These warning come too late for Wadsworth, who is currently taking a break from romance and the Internet while she works to recover from the physical and emotional wounds she has suffered. "I sleep with the light on every night," she says. "It's affected me."

While more and more singles are turning to the Internet to meet their mates and many online dating stories do have happy endings, it is important to remember that there are dangers to digital love. Wadsworth hopes that what she went through will help to warn others of those dangers.

WhoisHe.Com and WhoisShe.Com has been widely recognized this last year, on CBS’ “48 HOURS" and the CBS Early Show; in People Magazine, listed in Yahoo Internet Life Magazine's top 100 sites for the Year 2000, Seventeen Magazine and in the October, 2000 issue of Entrepreneur Magazine.

HOW DO WE PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM PREDATORS?

SAN DIEGO, CA –– In light of the increasing dangers to our family, and especially our children -- WhoisHe.Com and WhoisShe.Com is an online professional service that provides confidential background checks and criminal record searches designed to verify if persons are who they purport to be. This online service is the brainchild of Southern California attorney, Linda Alexander. WhoisHe.Com and WhoisShe.Com allows people to do these checks for reasonable rates, in order to protect their families and themselves.

According to Alexander, the abduction of Elizabeth Smart in Utah has brought much concern to parents, when it was revealed that the handyman, Richard Ricci, who worked in the Smart House was a career criminal. A comprehensive background and criminal record check would have provided this information to the Smart family and could have alerted them to potential dangers of bringing this man into their home and providing him access to their family.

This concern has caused thousands to swarm to WhoisHe.Com and WhoisShe.Com, in an effort to find out more information on persons such as: Nannies, Day Care Providers, In-Home Health Care Workers, and others who provide home services, such as Gardeners, Painters, Contractors, House Cleaners, or anyone else who would have access to a person's home and their family. Alexander says that she has also had requests to check out the Sports Coaches and their assistants who are spending a great deal of time with children. Parents are concerned about the safety of their family members. They want to find out if the person who has access or is in charge of their children is a convicted pedophile or has any type of criminal record.

After doing the background and criminal record checks, Alexander has found that many who have sought to work with children or in the home, have prior criminal records. She found some had records for driving while under the influence, abuse, assault, robbery, burglary, and there have been record checks where the subject was a convicted sexual offender.

Information is the key to assist people in determining whether or not to bring someone into their home or allow them access to their family.

The service also assists in tracing lost loves, friends, finding estranged family members and old army buddies. In addition, there are those seeking to find out about their potential mate, business partners or employees. The cost of the service provided by WhoisHe.Com and WhoisShe.Com range from $39 to $75
