For context. A police report came out of someone with his same name from where he lives has been arrested for multiple counts of CP.

you know I don't think there's anything wrong with the concept of this per say, but I do think there's something wrong in publicizing it and airing it. The results have not been the best in that case... many cases fell through, that guy committed suicide, and these people have even less chance at reform than normal pedophiles because their face is everywhere. It's deplorable the crime they are trying to commit, but I also understand it's likely a type of attraction they're unfortunately born with and so it'd be more constructive to try to find some way to deal with these folk that didn't also trap them into a hell spiral that makes any chance at changing impossible as even getting help is stigmatized. It may even put more kids at risk in the end because if they do get caught for this crime, they're not going to go to jail for life so when they get out they'll be without any safety net, almost no job prospects and likely more crimes or molestation attempts in the future.

There's an great American Life (I think?) podcast where a teenager who admitted he has been attracted to very young girls for as long as he could remember formed a help group with other people like that so they could help each other avoid that attraction. But the reason he went that route is because literally no one out there would help him. He tried to go to a therapist for it, and they straight up refused to see him. He had never touched an underage kid, but was looking at underage porn and he knew he had to try to stop it.

Now how is that constructive if the goal is to try to protect children?

So I'd donate if the goal was to expand the Predator Catching program, but only if it wasn't publicized for a tv show or youtube show or whatever and if some of that money went toward expanding therapy programs and preventative programs to try to stop people with this chemical imbalance in their head that makes them attracted to kids in the first place.

An example of Amirox lowkey trying to humanize pedophiles as normal.

Doesn't look good for this site to be associated with such a story, that's all.

Beyond that, it's just a news story like any other that's posted on here.

I mean, I think it's news given that this is a forum that both appeals to kids and allows kids to post here.

I just want to say that as an educator of children, I find this individual's acts abhorrent and I hope he is punished to the fullest extent of the law.

It should definitely be acknowledged because we don't need threads out here gossiping about shit.

But if mods knew about this and did nothing about it...Yikes.

Did he ever post a pic in a selfie thread?
I am fairly sure that he was too on edge for that but still

Because the way it was posted was suspect and moderation in general frowns upon threads attacking specific members. Obviously this is a shit situation but that first thread was horseshit

There's a comment on the police record website mentioning that GAF had something like this happen before. What is the context of that comment?

This seems like something Evilore would make a thread about with a long explanation and discussion. I'm just waiting that. Seems like deleting the thread was a kneejerk reaction more than silencing anything. I don't expect them to just pretend this didn't happen.

"This guy used to be a moderator at this gaming forum: http://www.neogaf.com/ under the name "Amir0x" and from what I've heard they have a history with this sort of thing, that place should be shut down to protect the kids in my opinion."


Alright, which one of you was this lol.
