DAYTON -- With a 14 year old Clark County girl now missing for three days, allegedly with a 44 year old man, we spoke to a Montgomery County Victim Witness advocate about the situation.Sandy Hunt told us, ''It can be extremely dangerous because the younger person will generally do anything that the older person wants.'' Hunt says they most often see girls ages 13 to 15 involved with men who are 18 to 25, and that the danger of getting involved in one of these relationships is just as real for teen boys. Many teens don't realize that older person is actually taking advantage of them. Officials are encouraging parents to act now before their kids get involved in the dating scene. They encourage parents to talk to their kids about when and who they can start dating and what time they would be expected to be home. Experts recommend someone within one to two years in age of your child. You should also discuss where they can go on dates and suggest double dates, so there are more people around.Keeping that line of communication open is the most important thing parents can do to protect their children.
