There's also an issue of the kid being at risk from someone the
parents might not know too well. Michael Jackson......


It's happened. Locally, there was a case from about 1991 where a teacher
went on trial for doing things he shouldn't have. The stories specifically
mentioned that he lured the boys in through computers and amateur radio.

I vaguely knew the guy, but from the details I even knew one of the victims.
And the ham who went to jail for this achieved a certain prominence due
to some articles in the ham magazines where many hams might recognize his
name.
