Leet Speak is part of a complicated and potentially dangerous code designed to keep parents in the dark when children are chatting on the Internet.
And that's exactly why Internet safety experts are sounding a warning. The language is morphing into a dangerous dialect that's completely foreign to parents.

"It gives criminals, kids, whomever, another way to communicate covertly with one another without maybe parents catching on to what the kids are saying," Westerville Police Department Scott Dollison explained.
err.. :confused:
