Internet dangers 12/05

Quote From: luvmydog1

MY HUSBAND GOT ON CRAIG'S LIST CASUAL ENCOUNTERS . HE E-MAILED HIS CELL PHONE NUMBER IN RESPONSE TO AN ADD HE SAW POSTED THERE. WE HAD BEEN MARRIED ONLY A YEAR AND HE CLAIMS HE WAS "CURIOUS". A 46 YEAR OLD MAN ISN'T CURIOUS. HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING BUT DIDN'T THINK HE WOULD GET CAUGHT BY HIS WIFE WHO DOESN'T HAVE MUCH EXPERIENCE ON COMPUTERS. WRONG! I WISH I COULD GET IN THE  FACE OF CRAIG AND ASK HIM WHY HE WOULD ALLOW SUCH HORRIBLE THINGS TO BE POSTED ON HIS WEBSIGHT. IT DESTROYS FAMILIES!  I WISH THERE WAS A WAY TO SUE CRAIG'S LIST FOR THE PAIN HIS LIST HAS COST ME. TRUE HE DIDN'T TWIST MY HUSBANDS ARM BUT HOW CAN ANYONE THINK THIS IS OKAY AND ALLOW THEIR NAME TO BE ASSSOCIATED  WITH IT.  

 Craigs List is not responsible for what your husband did.  In my opinion, you need to put the blame where it belongs and that is on your husband.  If he hasn't taken responsibility for his actions, he might consider doing so.  I'm not sticking up for Craigs List.  They provide lots of services and unfortunately your husband chose the wrong service.

If it wasn't Craig's List it would have been MySpace

The only person responsible for your pain is your jerk of a husband.  Sue Craig's List?  Grow up.  If your husband uses a site created for single people it's not their fault.   If they didn't exist your husband would just have used MySpace, or any of the other social sites to cheat on you.  Or maybe troll the bars in town, or respond to an ad in the local paper.   Hubby is the problem, not Craig's List, which is basically just an electronic bulletin board.

Hey... this is not the fault of Craig's List. You can find anyone on the Internet if you are looking. There are tons of chat rooms and love connection sites to choose from. It can definitely ruin a relationship and it should not be tolerated. If your loved one (especially a child) is spending more than a short time on the computer then you could have a problem. There is also software you can buy to spy on that person if you are suspicious. Some people may have an issue with that but hey - it is one way to nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand.

 

Parents should definitely have total control over their kids' use of the internet. It is obvious that there are thousands of sicko predators out there just waiting for the right moment to pounce. Be a support to your loved one - not a blind bystander!! Wake up people! Your relationships and your children are at high risk here.
