This is just my personal opinion, but I don't think any online relationship can be authentic. You don't really know for sure who they are or what they look like. And you can say all you want to me about him/her sending you pictures, but that doesn't mean they look like that. Some may think that it's impossible for "you" to get tricked by a pedophile. But doesn't everyone believe that nothing bad will ever happen to them? Anyway, if you've never actually met them in real life, which is probably a bad idea anyway, then it can't be genuine. Cyber Predators do exist, even on Runescape. ~MrM \
