A young boy met a new friend in a chat room and began talking to him regularly, the friend was from out of the states but would be in town for in a couple of weeks and they made plans to sneak out and meet. The boy began to feel odd about the arrangement and confessed the whole thing to his father. The father consulted the authorities and after a couple hours the chat was traced to a local prison, the prisoner who'd been using the computer was in for murder, was scheduled for release in two weeks.
