They did not bother to cancel their symposium in the wake of COVID-19, choosing to reschedule it to July 21-23, 2020.

The FBI is really setting the Predator Panic during Coronavirus Panic high with idiotic press release

When it comes to spreading the fear, the FBI is always quick to do so willingly. Well, they set the bar pretty high here with mixing COVID-19 and Predator Panics.

School Closings Due to COVID-19 Present Potential for Increased Risk of Child Exploitation

Questions regarding this release should be directed to your local FBI field office.
3/23/20

Due to school closings as a result of COVID-19, children will potentially have an increased online presence and/or be in a position that puts them at an inadvertent risk. Due to this newly developing environment, the FBI is seeking to warn parents, educators, caregivers, and children about the dangers of online sexual exploitation and signs of child abuse.

Background
Online sexual exploitation comes in many forms. Individuals may coerce victims into providing sexually explicit images or videos of themselves, often in compliance with offenders’ threats to post the images publicly or send the images to victims’ friends and family.

Other offenders may make casual contact with children online, gain their trust, and introduce sexual conversation that increases in egregiousness over time. Ultimately this activity may result in maintaining an online relationship that includes sexual conversation and the exchange of illicit images, to eventually physically meeting the child in-person.

In order for the victimization to stop, children typically have to come forward to someone they trust—typically a parent, teacher, caregiver, or law enforcement. The embarrassment of being enticed and/or coerced to engage in unwanted behavior is what often prevents children from coming forward. Offenders may have hundreds of victims around the world, so coming forward to help law enforcement identify offenders may prevent countless other incidents of sexual exploitation.

Abuse can occur offline through direct contact with another individual. During these uncertain conditions, where time with other adults and caregivers has increased immensely, parents/guardians should communicate with their children about appropriate contact with adults and watch for any changes in behavior, including an increase in nightmares, withdrawn behavior, angry outbursts, anxiety, depression, not wanting to be left alone with an individual, and sexual knowledge.

"National Center on Sexual Exploitation" (Morality in the Media) claims Snapchat and Teen Vogue are encouraging teens to maker CP during the COVID-19 outbreak



With all the recent stories on COVID-19, it was a matter of time before we found stories of people exploiting Coronavirus panic by mixing it with Predator Panic. So for 2020, I've devised a new category, the "Coronavirus Panic Exploiter of the Year. Here's out first candidate.

Remember the right wing Christian anti-pornography group "Morality in the Media"? Well, a few years back, they changed their name to "National Center on Sexual Exploitation." Despite being a religious group, they do get some grant money from the government, as noted on their Wikipedia article.

Snapchat And Teen Vogue Encouraging Teens To Create ‘Child Pornography’ During Quarantine, National Center For Sexual Exploitation Says

MARY MARGARET OLOHAN
SOCIAL ISSUES REPORTER
3/26/20

The National Center on Sexual Exploitation accused Snapchat and Teen Vogue of encouraging teens to create child pornography by sexting during the coronavirus pandemic.
The center is urging Teen Vogue and Snapchat to stop using their platforms to endanger children.
“Snapchat and Teen Vogue are playing right into sexual predators’ hands,” said National Center on Sexual Exploitation executive director Dawn Hawkins.

Snapchat and Teen Vogue are encouraging teenagers to create “child pornography” during the coronavirus quarantine through sexting, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation said.

The center, which fights child sexual abuse, prostitution, sex trafficking and the public health harms of pornography urged Teen Vogue on Wednesday to stop encouraging teens “to create child sexual abuse material (child pornography) by sexting during quarantine.”

The group is also pressing Snapchat to stop promoting Teen Vogue’s messages through Snapchat’s Discover feature, which offers news and video content. The social media app, which is popular among teenagers, boasted 218 million daily active users worldwide as of the fourth quarter of 2019. Nearly half of those users who watch the Discover feature watch it daily.

“Snapchat and Teen Vogue are playing right into sexual predators’ hands,” said National Center on Sexual Exploitation executive director and senior vice president Dawn Hawkins in a statement.

She added: “With the likely surge of young viewers on Snapchat due to quarantine, it is socially irresponsible for Snapchat Discover to encourage minors to self-produce underage pornography (i.e. child sexual abuse materials), thereby increasing their vulnerability to sexual predators.”

NCSE noted that encouraging teenagers to sext is encouraging minors to create and distribute child pornography, also called child sex abuse material. (RELATED: Here’s Some Of The Most Explicit Material Teen Vogue Published In 2019)

“Online predators use social media platforms to pose as peers and groom children to send them sexually explicit material (i.e. ‘sext’ with them) that they can then distribute and/or use to blackmail the child into other forms of sexual exploitation,” NCSE said.

“What Teen Vogue is doing by promoting sexing to teens is insidious and harmful,” Hawkins told the DCNF. “Given what we know about the brain development of adolescents, it is clear that discussing ‘the importance of consent’ while promoting sexting for minors does not protect those minors from the dangers of sexting — even coerced sexting. The law generally does not recognize minors’ ability to consent.”

NSCE references several examples of Teen Vogue encouraging teenagers to sext during the quarantine through photos provided to the DCNF.

“Like anything worth doing, sexting takes practice,” says a Monday Teen Vogue story on the Snapchat Discover page. “Here are 7 things you might not have known about sexting.”

“Sexting should make you feel good,” a Monday Teen Vogue Discover story said. (RELATED: Pornography And Sex Trafficking Are ‘Completely Interwoven,’ Activists Warn)

Another read: “Sending someone details about what you want to do to them and getting back even more detail about what they want to do to you should be fun, easy, and ultimately joyful. Anything less than that isn’t worth your time.”

“If you’re in the early stages of your romance, you cant still forge an emotional bond with your new boo by texting and Facetime,” another Saturday photo said. “There are all kinds of creative, fun ways to sext, if you’re at that level.”

Hawkins told the DCNF that frequent sexting among minors is used to “further bullying and sextortion among peers.”

“Images are also used as revenge pornography when the relationship sours,” she added.

“Pimps/traffickers often use the images to coerce teens into commercial sex trade; and self-produced youth pornography is often shared with third parties, and sometimes finds its way into the collections of predators and their child sexual abuse material.”

The photos were accompanied by the article: “Dating and Coronavirus: Can You Still Kiss, Have Sex, and Go on Dates During Social Distancing,” NSCE told the DCNF.

“The news about the global spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, has changed seemingly every few hours,” writes “Down To Find Out” columnist Nona Willis Aronowitz. Willis Aronowitz did not respond to a request for comment.

Willis Aronowitz added: “Acceptable behavior during a global pandemic is a moving target, and it can be hard to pin down what, exactly, puts you and your community at risk. Sex and love can be extra-confusing, because of course in times of stress and uncertainty, all you want to do is seek out intimacy. And yet, in the midst of a pandemic, physical closeness is one of the easiest ways to spread a virus.”

Hawkins noted that the proliferation of online child sexual abuse material has increased exponentially in recent years, and insist that Teen Vogue and Snapchat “must be held socially accountable for promoting trends that put people at risk for exploitation.”

“Research shows that sexting is often linked to offline sexual coercion, leaving teens inherently vulnerable,” Hawkins said. “Additionally, sexting can lead teens to be sexually extorted, sexually abused, or trafficked. Sexting is not harmless fun, as Teen Vogue would like teenagers to think, and Teen Vogue and Snapchat would be wise to stop promoting sexting to young, impressionable teens.”

Neither Snapchat nor Teen Vogue responded to requests for comment from the DCNF. (RELATED: Decriminalizing The Sex Trade In DC Empowers Pimps And Endangers Women Of Color, Activists Say)

This is not the first time Teen Vogue has come under fire for promoting sexual content to teens. In 2019, Teen Vogue also offered teenagers a chance to discover “How To Have Queer Sex,” “How To Use Sex Magic To Manifest Your Best Self,” “How To Get An Abortion If You’re A Teen” and more.

Critics of the publication said Teen Vogue’s content is entirely unfit for its teenaged audience. Anti-trafficking activist Jaco Booyens told the DCNF in December 2019 that Teen Vogue’s content grooms young people and seeks to desensitize them to such explicit content.

Donna Rice Hughes, president and CEO of Enough is Enough, an organization dedicated to making the internet safer for children, told the DCNF in December 2019 that Teen Vogue is driven by a “clear agenda to sexualize and exploit the minds of its young teen and tween readers during what should be a protected period of innocence.”

I-DUH-ho State Rep. Chad Christensen reminds us that Coronavirus panic is not as important as Predator Panic


Spudville state rep Chad Christensen took time out of the COVID-19 panic to remind us he increased residence restrictions for registered persions. Well, the Shiitake Awards aren't impacted by Coronavirus shutdowns either, so I guess we're kind of even.

Legislative update: A bad year for the free market
By REP. CHAD CHRISTENSEN For the Citizen

HB 457a

"This is my sex offender bill. The current law states sex offenders cannot be within 500 feet of a school, my bill adds licensed daycares. It also fixed a problem in the current statute, which mistakenly had an exception to allow sex offenders living in facilities to loiter on school grounds. This bill is now on the Governor’s desk waiting to be signed."

Registrant on paper sent back to jail for a year for having a Nintendo DS

OK, yes, it is possible to access the internet with a Nintendo DS. But which DS are we discussing? I have the first model 3DS and while I can surf the web, it is quite difficult to do. (Pic is of MY 3DS bought in 2011 but with most recent updates.) You need to have a hell of a lot of patience

Blackburn sex offender jailed after being caught with Nintendo DS consoles

ByJon MacphersonChief Reporter
19:00, 18 MAR 2020

A convicted sex offender who failed to tell police that he had two internet-capable Nintendo DS games consoles has been jailed for 12 months.

****, from Blackburn, was given a sexual harm prevention order (SHPO) in 2017 after being caught with extreme pornography involving animals...

When Hutchinson was asked about any other internet-capable devices he said 'no' but a search of his bedroom revealed another Samsung phone and two Nintendo DS consoles.

The defendant said he used the phone 'as an alarm clock' and a search of the device found adult pornography in the search history.

When asked again if he had any other devices he initially said no, but after a few seconds said: "All right. There's another downstairs in a purple box in the living room".

In his police interview, Hutchinson said the Samsung mobile phone was used by himself and his partner as an alarm clock but that it could be used for wi-fi and had a sim card inside.

He said the two Nintendo DS consoles had been checked previously but 'acknowledged he should have disclosed them'.

Lake County Ohio Sheriff closes jail to visits but reminds registered citizens they're still doing registration

Good news, Lake County Ohio registrants! Apparently, Registered Citizens are immune to the Coronavirus! So when you go in to register, be sure to hack and cough all over your Gestapo papers.

https://www.news-herald.com/news/ccw-registrations-jail-visits-sheriff-s-sales-suspended-lake-county/article_3679a376-684b-11ea-908d-cf24da0ef3b3.html

Lake County Sheriff Frank Leonbruno said his office will not be doing any mass release of jail inmates in response to the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19.

“In compliance with the directives of the Ohio Department of Health, as well as those of the governor and local health directives, we have closed all visiting at the Lake County Adult Detention Facility,” Leonbruno said in a March 16 news release. “As well as we have closed all inmate programming such as church services, GED instruction, and all other programming. In short, all non-essential personnel coming into the detention facility has been stopped. Inmates will still have the ability to stay in contact with their families through the phones and postal service.”

Leonbruno added that their medical staff is monitoring jail inmates for their health and safety. No inmates were displaying symptoms of the virus at the time of the news release...

Concealed carry registrations are closed until further notice. Leonbruno said their CCW office is the second busiest in the state.

“For the health and safety of all we are limiting the influx of people into the Office, as are sheriffs in adjoining counties,” Leonbruno said. “However, we are continuing to maintain the registrations and tracking of sex offenders, arsonists, and violent offenders.”

Sheriff’s sales are suspended until further notice to comply with the directives of the Ohio Department of Health director regarding large assemblies in public areas.

If "Wild Bill" Stanton is trying to teach us protecting us from about "pedophiles," he's failing his students


I don't usually care about celebrity gossip and trash TV but celebrity Nicki Minaj is married to a registered person whose offense was 25 years ago. So some trash TV talk show host Wendy Williams decided to do a show bashing Minaj's husband and registrants ion general. While that may be Shiitake-worthy in itself, it was her guest, "Wild Bill" Stanton, a celebrity safety huckster peddling a book. that is truly worthy of a Shiitake Award nod.

On the show (starting at 3:59 on the Youtube clip), Stanton says,

"Every parent or someone who has a child in their life needs to get on their phone... and get a PEDOPHILE APP and ... highlight where everyone is in your neighborhood... We go through life living in a bubble... I'm going to take that bubble and turn it into a forcefield."

Ironically, he advises people to "educate themselves" but if this asshat is the teacher, the students are doomed to fail.

His email to me was equally stupid:

wildbillstanton <wildbillstanton@gmail.com>
To: Derek Logue <iamthefallen1@yahoo.com>
Derek

I've read your email looked at the site and actually took a look a  few of your video's. I had no idea "sex offenders" could be so offended?
That wasn't my intention as much as addressing the issue of pedophiles and how parents, relatives and friends of children should best be aware and how to address the issues of one's child being potentially groomed by the aforementioned sex offender who's actually a pedophile.
I appreciate your perspective hope you now understand mine.
Thanks for reaching out.

Unprepared and Scared seems to be a better title is his Wendy Williams Show appearance
 is any indication of his book's advice
