How does the US deal with paedophiles?
Generally if one is identified, they are arrested and charged with as many offenses as the prosecutor believes they can get convictions for. Once convicted, they usually are sent to prison where they are generally are considered to be the lowest of the prisoners and are frequent subjects of abuse and sometimes murder by other inmates. Assuming they survive prison (which they usually do). They are placed on a sex offenders registry for life with no realistic possibility for having their name removed. Those on the registry are required to notify the local police every time they move and in most urban and suburban jurisdictions all their neighbors are notified that a convicted child molester has just moved into the neighborhood - and campaigns by their neighbors to force them to move are common. Many areas also impose restrictions on where they can live - such as how close to a school or other place where there may be children present. Most of the time they lose custody of their children if they have any. They are also prohibited from ever holding jobs where they may come into contact with children, such as teacher, day care worker, school bus driver, etc. In general, there is no statute of limitations on the crimes they may be charged with, so if someone did something when they were 25, they could be sent to prison for it when they were 75. Many, if not most businesses will refuse to hire someone convicted of these kind of crimes.

How do you find out if your deceased Mother won a multimillion dollar lawsuit before her death?
If you have no siblings, uncles, aunts, father or other relative who was with her when she died, and/or none of you had a clue what was going on with the lawsuit, why do you want to know now?
Depending on the state, the court and the nature of the lawsuit, it may have died with her. There are only two ways to be sure: check the court case records or check with the lawyer representing her.
If the case survived her death, the lawyer representing her would have to find someone to stand in her place. If you showed no interest in her while she was alive, I doubt he would turn to you. If your mother did not want you involved, again, the lawyer would not turn to you. But court records are usually public, so you can check under her name in the court where the case was brought and get the docket number and ask to see the file.

Is it wrong to hide what sites you visit from your parents?
If you feel the need to hide the sites you visit from your parents, you are most likely visiting sites that you know your parents disapprove of. Not only hiding them from your parents is wrong, but visiting them is wrong. The Internet can be a dangerous place and parents understand that danger better than kids do. They have a right to know what sites you are visiting and to forbid you to visit certain sites. You need to abide by their limits about it.
(alternative answer) The above answer is a very reasonable answer from a very distinguished contributor to this site, but it is not going to be applicable in every case. We have very little information about your specific situation. We do not know if your parents are wise and responsible parents, or perhaps abusive and irresponsible parents. We do not know which sites you are visiting, which you feel you may wish to hide from your parents. Some people, under some circumstances, have a good reason to conceal their activities from their parents. It depends upon the kind of parents you have, and the kinds of activities you are engaged in. That said, it is definitely true that the Internet can be a dangerous place. Do not take foolish risks.

What should you do if a man keeps asking you for pictures on the internet?
(Children/Teenagers)
For those of you that are being asked or forced into doing things you wouldn't normally do on the internet, social media or by text, for example; sending unclothed or indecent images of yourself and receiving some back. Stop and ignore all future messages from them and ignore any threats that they will expose your pictures to the World, your family or friends. These threats are false in the hope that you will continue to send more images or to try and extract money from you. Con people do this and they hope they can embarrass you so you don't stop doing it. They are men or women who are much older than you, they are liars and cheats as nothing they have told you is true and images they send you are not them.
These people do not hold any power over you in reality if you delete their messages without any reply. Just send the one final message saying you have contacted the Police about them, even if you don't.
You may be surprised that this type of con is very common and many teenagers fall for it. It happens more than you might think. What those people are doing is blackmail and illegal so if you ignore them they will go away. You must not reply to anything further from them no matter what they message you. Eventually they will get bored and go away. Change your contact details, your passwords, email address or anything they can contact you by if you need to and try not to fall for that type of con again.
Whatever it is that you did it doesn't matter, and I mean whatever. You will not be blamed or ridiculed for it if anyone found out. The law is on your side. It is those con people that will be prosecuted not you when they are caught. They will be doing it to many others at the same time so it would be good if you had the courage to report it.
Don't worry because you feel you have nobody to tell about this because you are embarrassed or scared you will be made a fool of or everyone will see what you did. It won't happen, the images would be kept very private, even from family. You can always approach the Police and they will help you. You are not to blame !
