i have been asked to bump this, so bump

whats the deal, and I have both, talk to me.

shes actually already left guys and girls she said she'll come back when she feels comfortable too

thank you archtype, what happened, nevermind, I don't even want to know......hope she comes back.

i know arch - she asked me 2 bump up this post. i think she might want ostoreon 2 c it.xx

shes still onsite she's just left these groups for now

For a variety of reasons, I don't think minors being here is appropriate. At any rate, since they are, I am hoping that some of you are in contact with her to help her through this.

The language in some of the posts tonight is inappropriate for a 13 year old in my view.

Unsupervised use of a computer and discussing very adult issues is also a concern -- including sexuality.

I am not going to be a parent to someone else's child here. I'm sorry if she is upset over anything that I've said, but that is that challenge of dealing with a child in an otherwise adult environment.

Thanks for checking in on her, for those who do know her.

Ostereon she's welcome here as much as anyone else is.

why do members argue between each other? can we not accept that we are all here for the same reason...... namely support ? jeez lets all band together and help each other like the caring community we are meant to be !!!!!!

Arch...then maybe it is time to change that. I am more than happy to forward a request to Doug to have an age of consent segment added to the sign-in page of this site. I am happy to share with him legal concerns from a child welfare perspective.

As several people have been reporting publicly (as well as tonight) that predators may be stalking vulnerable children -- this is a no brainer.

you do that, ostereon. But in the meantime you have NO right to exclude anyone.

Arch, you might want to read the beginning of the thread. A member chose to withdraw from two communities.

I voiced my concerns after hearing, yet again, about young children on this site in need of protection. Most nations provide legislation on the protection of minors.

And check your local laws. I have the right under child welfare legislation to raise the issue here and in the community.

"I am not going to be a parent to someone else's child here."

Well said.

On the other hand Osteoron, I think you're wanting to debate and there are other things to debate over than hopefully, won't affect a child. Children entering here, just like any adults only forum on the net, is inevitable and not something even spidey can prevent.

Keep on dancing my friend.

you have the right to raise the issue but not force your opinion on anyone, i heard you the first time. I don't care what you say I'm not going to agree with you.

there is no age limit to depression. arche is right, nobody should be excluded from this forum.
