Was away to send a message to someone over bebo, seems to be giving a wierd error message when I try to get on the site.
Can anyone else get on, just so I know if it is my connection or not.
Cheers 
- Will

As in - hide behind something and then pop out and shout "bebo" - causing amusement to the infant!

Paedos have always found a way of getting to kids, the net was just another avenue. |

Basically, everything paedos do when they're not on the net! |

People like that will always find some way to do it  Quote:

Basically, everything paedos do when they're not on the net! | When I was a kid - many, many years ago - well before the internet or computers - paedophiles were never in the News or on TV - there was no public perception or mention of their existence.
I did find out about 2 though, through personal experience - one was the local Church Boys Brigade leader and the other worked as a manager at the local supermarket where I had a Saturday job - he only hired boys from Grammar Schools for part-time jobs...
He was taken away by the Police when I was there - but there was nothing in the papers or on TV...
