I think it goes without saying that Fornits is not the solution but the catalyst... it always has been. This non-physical, un-organized, biker-bar of a forum can't DO anything... its PEOPLE that can make a difference, people like friends, family, therapists or advocates related to these children that should be prompted to take action based on the information they were able to gather here at fornits, from which they were flagged because these names were posted.
The one and only reason this strategy makes sense is because it registers that name to google so that anyone who is attempting to act on behalf of this child WILL be able to find out what happened to them, where they are and that they are in immediate danger.
So the argument that this tactic may in the future cost this person a job is a far cry to the possibility that it may save their life in the first place. but in any event, I'm in support of pulling these names down in a few years... if thats something well proxied is willing to do, just in good faith I guess. I think once we can verify that these kids are out, we should oblige them their privacy concerning this matter.
I'm setting up a myspace for CALO survivors... Ill do my best to find these kids, assuming they create myspaces upon release, and update you all on THEIR opinion in this matter. Until then I think its safe to assume for the time being, this strategy has its place, and Fornits has done its job by just existing.
