> Even though it means I have to clean now.~ ~ ~ Yay for you Gabette! You're a shining beacon for children in my opinion. You did your best (even by exposing yourself to negative stuff) to help children be protected.
One thing - in my opinion, it is extremely important (if you feel comfortable) to let the police know exactly what you encountered so far. Who knows, maybe the 'report problems' sites are there to make people THINK that they've done what needs to be done - to actually prevent them from going to the police! Please be sure to give the police ALL the email addresses of the agencies that supposedly are there to help children.
Even the one that you said is authentic: I think the police need to know that they are REQUIRING the general public to LOOK at the actual problematic material!!!!!!!!!! By going onto those sites, the general public is opening themself up to being accused of being involved in child porn. If at a later date, the police DO an investigation, I believe that they could see who signed onto those sites! (I could be wrong, but isn't that what the "Who" member - was it Peter Townsend? I dunno - but isn't that what he was accused of?) Anyway Gabette, I DO hope that you give the police a very complete record of what you did; what sites you went to (if you know) and email addresses of places where you tried to report this.
I am shocked that the one agency required descriptions, etc.......that seems ludicrous to me, when a person is reporting this type of exploitation, etc.
Thank you for forging ahead with this hun.
