Linda,

I agree they should have a department browsing the internet all day long to catch these things. And I bet we could all apply since we are here anyway!! HAHA!!!:D I have always thought it would be a cool job to work for the FBI posing as a child to catch people after then - of course I am fascinated with any government spy or criminal stuff. It is has initials like FBI, CIA I am loving it!!

We could be our own CSI's for PC!!!! Guess that would make us PCI'S!!!!
 
HO should post a warning on the actual Myspace page. I do not think there is a witch hunt because so far I don't see a buring bonfire or people gathering to kill anyone. Just some dumb cu*t talking very bold because it's only online contact. Had she been contacted at conference it would have been a fake nice nice thing. It is my biggest complaint with these pseudo acquaintances online in the end it just gets catty. At least in person someone chooses to walk away or throw down. The hardest part about being a Christian is walking away.
