well damnit, this is the 3rd time ive tried to post to this thread if it dont work this time im throwing this damn macine out the window,
ill start off saying that im not a parent and may never be, but i have yong nephews and dated a gal with kids, and they find a way to get into places they arent supposed to be, they seem to know more about computers and chata rooms than adults do,
IMO, chat rooms are no place for children, I dont care what age or maturity level they are, even in kids only chat rooms, perverts can get in!!
There are things that go on in chat rooms and discussion boards that kids need not hear, witness related or not.
Its almost impossible to monitor children, they have a way of finding places they arent supposed to be and even under adult supervisoin they still manage to find trouble, Im a prime exmple of this.
A young witness that is trying to leave the ORG. definatly needs support and people to talk to but a web site probably isnt the place (imo)
To say that the adults that use the forum should "tone it down" is a big request, we are adults and are responcible for our own actions, whereas the parents of children that use this forum are responcilbe to know what is talked about, and what goes on here before thier children get hurt,upset,bewildered,or whatever may happen to them.
personaly, and again totaly IMO, if i had children, they wouldnt be allowed here, or anyother website that had a chat room, but knowing me, my children would find it anyway,
last but not least if i was a parent that has left the BORG i would be the support for my children not a website,
