Two families have told police that messages sent to thier teen-age sons on a local computer bulliten board have been followed by destructive acts against family vechicles. In both cases, the threats were made by "Hydro", a nickname used on an electronic bulliten board shared by a small group of El Paso teen-agers. One of the families from west-side Wl Paso, told police that threats to their son preceeded two family vans being torched. The most recent fire was Friday, when the family awoke at 3 a.m. to find their 1994 Dodge Caravan aflame. Taped to a rock outside their home was a not that said, "HYDRO IZ G0D." "Its strange, and its very scary," said Rio Grande Free Net operator Don Furth, who operates at the El Paso Community College. "These local BBS's are very busy at nights. "There are a lot of people who sit in their rooms and they're so wrapped up in this virtual reality enviornment they've created," he said. Police reports show a second family in northeast El Paso also recieved threats froma computer user nicknamed, "Hydro," and found the windows of their Isuzu smashed March 23. The FBI has jurisdiction over threats sent on the communications line. However, authorities have not determined whether the messages crossed state lines, a prerequisite for a federal violation, FBI spokesman Al Cruz said Sunday. Furth estimates that 15 percent of all home in El Paso have a modem and computer, and that's all that is needed to access over 50 local BBS's in the El Paso area. He said computer-shy parents should learn what their children are accessing. "If you're in the library and your kid is reading a book, your going to look at the title," i think that is appropriate behavior. If (a child) searches hard enough, you can find places that big virtual world that probably a parent would not want their kids to go. Electronic BBS's have become controversial as authorities have caught groups using them to exchange child pornography and information on child sex ring.
