Name/Alias: Jess Journal name:the_jess Location(optional): Saskatchewan, Canada Comment(optional): Banning like, half the journals on LJ doesn't stop sexual predators - there are ten times more on instant messaging programs like MSN, AIM, ICQ, and others. As a future educator, I say this is actually the worst way of trying to crack down on them because it's such a small fraction of the big picture and you're fighting a pointless war. You're wasting your time and are not only losing customers and respect, but you look like total fools doing it. The best possible way to protect children is for the parents to get involved in a positive manner without taking rights away from innocent users like these goons are, and TALK to their children about what is out there and how to watch out for it.
