ORIGINAL: sub4hire I read this thread yesterday when I only had moments. I think suport groups are very welcome. I do have a few questions about this one though. The name in itself raises the question. Online predators. While, I am no newbie to have a predator. Even in real life. The idea of an online predator doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Anyone who has been stalked online knows the predator will just change his or her name to stalk you some more. So, is this merely a support group for victims? Yet, not using anyone's name? Or using the name they use online? If you use their name online or use their real name you are then outing them. You could very possibly end up in a slander suit down the line. Since you are posting your link in absolutely every single reply you post. Chances are many attorneys, judges and the like will be on your group without you ever knowing so. I guess to summarize the biggest question I have is...are you using names? I am sorry, I thought that I had answered that in an earlier post. Here is that post again... quote:
This group is purely a support gateway! Nothing else. No information that could lead to anybody's identity will be allowed. I only want to discuss our stories (minus names), emotions, logistics, legal help, physical reactions and things of that sort. I do not want any identifying information disclosed for anybody. This group is purely anonymous in all ways. That is a good question though. Thank you for that. When I say anybody, I mean anybody. That includes alleged predators. This is merely for emotional support. ALL are welcome. That means everybody. Attorneys, judges, and the like are welcome as long as they are supportive. And hey, they may even be able to provide advice for some victims who are still going through their ordeal. I say explicitly in my group description and my welcome message that anything that could give away anybody's identity will not be tolerated in the group. It is an anonymous group. I hope that answers any and all suspicions about any type of ulterior motives. I am merely looking for support from others and hoping to provide support for others. It is not a fun ordeal to go through and can be downright terrifying. Some, as in my case, may even lead into real life violation and abuse. There are feelings and emotions that may be ignored because of the nature of the contact, i.e. BDSM or Adult type origins of meeting. People can choose to not deal with their feelings because they are too embarrassed about meeting in a BDSM or Adult chatroom or personals site, etc. My group is a safe haven for these people and hopefully can give them the support they need to build strength and get on with their lives. I hope that these intentions are now clear. Online Predator Support Group
