Earlier this month (May 2001) a news story broke in the USA about a man, John
Edward Robinson who had alledgedly placed ads online, and used chat rooms on the
internet to procure female submissives. So far he has been charged with 5
counts of capital murder.
This is not an everyday event, but when it becomes headline news like
this has, it rocks people in the scene, and makes them more aware of their
own vunerability as a sub/slave and responsibility as a Dom/Owner.
We have to try and minimise the risks female subs/slaves are taking to
meet the right Dom/Owner It can never ever be stressed enough, that
just because someone online tells you he is a Dom/Owner, don't take
his word for it. Question him, talk and talk some more before you
eventually arrange to meet him.
Ensure that you always have a silent alarm or safe call in place before
you set off, and that at least one other person knows exactly where you are.
People like this are in the minority, but it just goes to show it still can
and indeed does happen. Maybe next time you arrange to meet a prosective
Dom/Owner you will bear this story in mind.
After all you don't want to end up murdered in a barrel somewhere!
