11. Answers

12. 1. Jack Jack has not arranged to meet the girl in a public place
You should never meet a person from the Internet in yours or their homes

13. 2. Alex Alex has not told anyone where he is going which is unsafe
If he is travelling on his own he is not being safe by taking someone with him
Travelling a long distance to an unknown place is dangerous

14. 3. Nicola Nicola is helping herself stay safe
She has arranged to meet at a public place
She is taking her mum for support
She has friends nearby if things go wrong and has checked who the person is using video chat

15. 4. Anne
Anne should not worry about her friends feelings, she has a right to know who her friend is on video chat before she meets them
Maybe the person is hiding something if they don’t want to go on video chat

16. 5. Sarah
Sarah is right to ask to see her friend before agreeing to meet up
It is easy to send a fake photo
Sarah should not think seeing the photo means the friend is who they say they are
