Well somehow sometime somewhere in the chat room while chatting ..... you find out you are talking to a 14 yr.old kid ! ... Do you keep talking knowing this is a kid ??
I have moderated a chat room before, and I had admin status which meant I could kick people out of the room. The chat room I moderated was for depression support, so we had kids in there sometimes. I tried to keep it a safe enviroment for all involved. I let the participants know that they could private message me if someone was trying to cyber sex them. If the person didn't knock it off after a warning, they were kicked out of the room and possibly banned if they kept abusing the rules.
I have also visited depression chat rooms such as ones on Yahoo were they were unmoderated and it was a free for all. Kids are generally safer in a moderated chat room where a responsible person can keep order.
I know a lot of these kids were on the Internet unsupervised by their parents because they had a computer with Internet access in their rooms. Computers with Internet access should be in a family room where a parent can monitor what their kid is doing on the Internet. Most parents don't do this. In my opinion, they should be charged with child neglect or some such charge for such stupidity. The parent has some responsibility in this too for the Internet has its dangers. They should be monitoring their kids Internet use.
I set up a computer with Internet access in the family room for a family who knew very little about computers and the Internet. I gave everyone the lecture about safe surfing habits. The mother always supervises her daughters Internet use when she is on the Internet.
