One man hurt a 12-year-old boy. The man met the boy on the internet. He talked to the boy to trick him. Then he hurt the boy many times. Many people use the internet to hurt children. Some people ask children for photos. Then they use the photos to take money from the children. This happens to boys and girls.

Learning
๐ ๏ธ The 'Action' Word
Look at these words from the story:
- Stop
- Work
- Meet
- Talk
These are simple actions. In English, we use them to say what people do every day or what happened in the past.
Past Time (The Story) โ Present Time (Now)
| Story (Past) | Now (Present) |
|---|---|
| Stopped | Stop |
| Worked | Work |
| Met | Meet |
| Talked | Talk |
๐ก Quick Tip: To talk about the past, we often just add -ed to the end of the word (like work worked). But some words are 'rebels' and change completely (like meet met).
