Have you been reading. No one is calling the posters a pedophile (unless its a troll). Its weird that the parents would go into graphic detail about their kids on a public forum. Not that hard to understand!

It would be weird if it weren't anonymous. But as it stands, all I see are parents looking for information from other parents who've dealt with similar issues.

I agree with this. I am not the OP of that thread either, but this site is great because it offers a wealth of information from other parents who have BTDT. Obviously if your DC needs stitches, advice wont' help, but hearing from parents who have been through what you've dealing with is invaluable -- and those responses may direct you to the ped. or tell you not to bother. And it's not revealing anything about your DC -- IT'S ANONYMOUS.

No, there's nothing wrong about posting information about your child on an anonymous discussion forum.

Get a grip, people!

And to those thinking calling your doctor is as easy as just picking up the phone -- I can guarantee you I get quicker advice from people on dcum than from my child's physician on a Saturday. If it is a life threatening condition the dr would just tell me to go to the ER and I wouldn't post about it here anyhow. But usually it's more like, "I have a call in to the dr and the appointment is tomorrow, but in the meantime, I wondered if anyone had ever experienced this?" and often people here have good ideas.

I think there are alot of dumb people on here (ie. People who ask ridiculous medical questions) and NO I would not ask something of this nature like the posts being referred to.

Personally I would call my doctor and keep it a private issue but blasting a thread about it online seems very weird to me.

LOL the thread you're mentioning is from 2010. Pay a little more attention to detail before starting your weird conspirator y theories.

Actually, I find it weird and distrubing that the pubic hair thread was dug up from a long time ago and that the first new comment was a general observation about the development of pubic hair in pubescent girls. Seemed a little off to me.

As a parent to a child with chronic skin problems, I've found these boards to be a great supplement to the work that we're doing with our child's doctors. There's diagnosis, for which I generally go to the doctor (more below), but there's also the issue of what brings relief. There's a lot of "folk wisdom" out there about what makes a child's skin feel better, and about 3/4 of what works for my child wasn't suggested by an MD.

Regarding diagnoses, I've found this board helpful in cases where I think that something going on isn't serious at all (there's always a rash; this one seems no different) but someone else posts matching symptoms, and someone else chimes in to say it's actually a doctor-worthy problem.

Im the pp you quoted and I understand what you are saying and think that as a supplement for ideas while using a doctor, yes it has its benefits to post. I am more referring to, as an example, "I forgot to give my child their medication should I double up?" posts which is just dumb to ask on this forum. Also, I think discussing your childs vagina or penis on here is also a sign that you are a little off. Now thats MY opinion to each their own but I think its strange.

i haven't read this most recent thread (or old thread, as it were) but I've flagged a few messages lately as being over the top. One was on the subject of toddlers masturbating, asking specifically HOW they do it; one was where a women explained in graphic detail how she wipes her daughter. I'm a pretty chill person, nobody has EVER accused me of helicopter parenting, but my spider sense went off on both of those threads.

Yes, these posts come across as being inappropriate at best and quite likely creepy and, at worst, fodder for pedos. I flag them every single time. If it is a medical issue, rash, etc, sure, post away. If the description is necessary, post away. But someone just adding unnecessary details about their child's genitalia? I don't care if you use the proper name or call it a wee wee or whatever, it crosses a line. I report every post like this and encourage others to do the same. If there is a pattern, Jeff can track IP addresses.

BTW, the wiping thread is actually NOT the one I just noticed is now in general parenting. It was another one. So yes, there have been a ton of these threads lately.

I agree and thank you for reporting them!

The minute I saw the one about children's genitalia, I immediate thought that it was a pedophile. It's not a topic that normal people would ever feel the need to discuss publicly, privately, or anonymously.

this is exactly what i was talking about. who makes observations like that?

[Anonymous]

for all those speculating about the OP, I made the original post. i really don't read those threads bc they make me uncomfortable. not bc i am ashamed of the human body, it's bc i work as a therapist with incest survivors. so yeah, i am uncomfortable with pedophilia and i hope that well-meaning parents on this board aren't feeding into someone else's sick game.
