True Story!

• Chloe Michaels was only 11 years old when she was lured into a relationship by a man through Internet chat. After months of exchanging messages in an Internet chat room he finally managed to meet and court her.

Chloe first started going into Internet chat rooms after her mother

Cathy, a teacher, bought a computer to help with her homework. Each evening when she'd finished her schoolwork, she would then log on to chat. Eventually their relationship

came to a boil; he dumped her, terrified, distraught, and pregnant.
