Girls Teach Teen Cyber Gab To FBI Agents
from the sounds-like-quite-the-after-school-job dept
Back when I was in high school, my after school jobs involved delivering newspapers and serving bagels. Three junior high school girls already have a much more exciting after school job. They're teaching FBI agents how to chat online like teenagers. As the FBI continues to try to track down online pedophiles they need to appear like realistic 13-year-olds online. As much as they thought they were up to date on the latest teen pop culture, it turns out that they were a bit behind the times. Amusingly, some of the agents sounded quite disappointed to find out just how uncool they really were. One of the girls' father is an FBI agent in the group, and realized they need the girls' help after watching her instant message online using terms and phrases that were completely unfamiliar to him.

Who do they catch?
Do the adults who approach 13-year-olds necessarily know all the latest teen slang?
How often do operations like this end up netting teens who claim to be adults?

Re: Who do they catch?
i think it's a good idea not to take chances... if they don't understand, they would, i think, just assume that since they're talking as incoherently as everyone else, there's nothing to worry about.

I hope they are getting paid. Never do any work for the government without getting paid. Thats typically how they manipulate people.
