“Sexual predator warns parents about
‘kik’ app.
To demonstrate his
concerns, the sex offender showed Target 8 the Role Play function inside of the
kik app on a Target 8 phone. That function allows users to change their personal
information and select the age range of those they want to contact.
Within
minutes of creating a profile and without contacting anyone, two people —
purportedly teenage girls — reached out to chat.’ (WoodTV.com, Feb 2, 2015)
