PP: Your kid must be the bully.
FWIW: The website is down. |
Ding dong the witch is dead. That site was reprehensible. May it never return. |
if people want to talk about other people anonymously, just let them do it. its really not that big of a deal. whats the purpose of shutting down the website? |
Uh, slander, bullying, lies, just to to name a few infractions. |
Sadly, it's still there. Just a different domain name. |
I am laughing so hard at everyone that takes this site seriously. Ok so someone got a death threat. They wouldn't have known it if they weren't on the site themselves. If course parents are going to get angry at the people writing the stuff on peoples dirt. That is because they don't remember what it was like when they were kids. I am personally 17 yo. and I feel so much older then most of the adults I know.
Anyone think that maybe they put the death threat themselves because they knew that they couldn't shut down the website if it was something minor like an insult. I could go there right now, and make a death threat to myself and then complain to my parents that someone put a death threat up. Of course they wouldn't know it is me. Now if you don't want you kids going to the site, there is such a thing as Parental Controls. Don't blame the people making the site, don't blame the people making the posts. Hell don't blame anyone. Be a parent and if you don't like what your kids are doing or looking at. Change it! You will never change teenagers minds on this type of thing. Probably you are more likely to get them to post more "Death threats" just to watch how angry you get and see what happens. To most teenagers this is a game. They know that you might get it shut down but it will come back up. |
I do remember what it was like when I was a kid, the internet didn't exist! And when I was a kid you didn't have to worry about anyone writing any negative gossip about you, because it wouldn't have been allowed in school newspapers or newspapers outside of the school, or in any other written form. It wasn't allowed back then, and it shouldn't be allowed now. Kids shouldn't have to deal with people writing rumors about them on the internet. |
To the 17 yr old poster - the problem is that making a death threat against someone is a crime. I agree with a lot of what you wrote, but there is a line that cannot be crossed whether it is spoken or written. |
I am personally 17 yo. and I feel so much older then most of the adults I know.
That's classic! Save that thought honey and you will have a good laugh over it in 20 years! What's the new website? |
Seriously. What 17 year old doesn't feel that way? I'd be worried if they didn't. |
Spammers have started posting to this thread (seems appropriate), so I'm locking it.
