going by her texts i'm pretty sure this started on sat night but cant be sure.

So in a little over 24 hours he has gone from intro to asking for pics in her knicks?

Apart from whether she wants those blasted all over the net, this suggests a very fast mover.

Report him. if his IP is already known, they will take more note.

have you checked his social networking page?

Can you log in as her and chat to him , and keep the conversation ? Tbh if he is what you think he is , 300 miles wont be a problem

Contact the police. He says he is 18, dont all those !!!!!s involved in cases recently? They tend to be middle aged men when the girls actually meet them. Even if your own daughter cannot contact him again now, think of the others he may be grooming. And 300 miles is nothing, you get them coming from states dont you.

Dont try to handle it/fool him yourself - the police have a department set up for the purpose of tracking these pervs down.

You actually have a duty to report this man. The next youngster may not have such a diligent mum and may be very vulnerable. Please do it now - its the only way to stop him and we all have a collective duty to protect our children.

She gave me all her signs INS and passwords this morning so I had a good hunt around but couldn't really find anything. She spoke to him on msn but he's been logged off all day.
She should be home soon and I will get as much info as I can. Them I have a short shift at work and will go to the local station with the phone and whatever details I can get.
Thanks everyone.

I would definitely report this person to the police. I would also remove the psp and phone from her - not as a punishment but just in case she thinks you are going totally overboard and decides to try and keep in contact with this person.

If the phone is PAYG get her a new sim card so that he doesn't attempt to contact her any more. If the phone is contract you should be able to get into her itemised billing and see how many times she has called or text him.

If she spoke to him on MSN, check the history for that.

Has she now set her profiles to private as that seems the obvious answer?

Make it friends only for everything and strangers shouldn't be able to make contact.

I'd be removing the psp for the time being too or barring it in my router settings.
