Are you suggesting victims of public library crimes that result from the use of unfiltered Internet access

If we ever find such a case we'll deal with it then.

The case you cited was the result of a scumbag attacking a girl. He was a scumbag before ever logging onto the net. The girls parents should have kept a better eye on her though.

The net and the world in general is run by and largely populated with adults. Children need to be protected by their parents weather in a library, a store or a church. You never know who the scumbag is.

BTW filtering does'nt work worth a !#$%. I hope you're not depending on it.

Sorry,

a) filtering now is very effective,

b) this "it's the parent's fault" argument is getting old,

c) there are numerous cases, sadly, that prove what I have been saying -- that's precisely why I have been saying this. There is no need for me to make this stuff up for my fun and health. These are real things really happening nationwide. I have been watching this for years. I have meticulously catalogued my findings and linked to them on the SafeLibraries.org web site. Sometimes I personally have been directly involved in exposing these cases and my involvement has been acknowledged, and

d) people like you who say it's the parent's fault are definitely not going to be the ones interesting in exposing that it's not always the parent's fault.
