About this ebook

This dictionary is the first of its kind written by world renowned Internet Marketing expert Tim Beachum. It was inspired by the death of a young girl who was murdered by an Internet predator. Her life could have been spared if her parents would have understood the lingo that she was using while chatting online.

It is the hopes of Mr. Beachum and his team that parents, teachers and other educators use this book as a tool to prevent such things from happening again. If this dictionary can keep one individual safe or prevent something dangerous from happening to another persons child then we will be happy.

All funds raised from the sales of this book will go towards keeping kids safe online. Thank you for your purchase.
