I was just quoting the article, but I would call him a teen. Anyways, this article should be a big eye opener for parents to see the big picture. A lot of young people play WoW and many other MMO's, and the potential for sexual predators to build a daily bond with their children/teens and lure them away is easier now.

hmmmmm, are you sure the article doesn't use the word young once. In fact it refers to him as a teenage boy. You seem to be sensationalizing the story a lot which isn't uncommon with this sort of thing but yet again it all comes down to the fact that you are far, far more likely to be sexually abused a relative or friend of the family than by a stranger on the internet.
