Child ADHD Forums attract Pedophiles | ADHD Information
Pedophiles could be anywhere. As long as you arent giving out personal info, address, phone # , etc you will be safe.
The worst places are the sites that teens/kids hang out in such as MySpace.com. You need to be extremely vigilant about your childs online activities.
Your children must understand that anyone can see the information they post. Many youngsters have no concept that millions of people can see what they post. They also may not understand that anyone can pretend to be someone else. According to the Center for Missing and Exploited Children, each week an average of 50 children fall prey to online predators. This statistic is not limited to MySpace users, but covers the Web as a whole.
Safety Tips
From BlogSafety.com (a site operated by CBS technology consultant Larry Magid)
# Avoid postings that could enable a stranger to find you. That includes your last name, the name of your school or sports teams, the town you live in and where you hang out.
# Check to see if your blogging service has a "friends" list that allows you to control who can visit your blog. If so, be sure to allow only people you know and trust. Be very careful before adding strangers to your list and be extremely careful about the information you post that can be accessed by people outside your friends list.
# Avoid getting together with someone you "meet" through a blog unless you are certain of their actual identity. If you do meet them, arrange the meeting in a public place and bring some friends along.
# Be very careful about photographs you put on your blog. It's best to avoid photos that can make it easy for people to recognize you.
Parents should be aware of dangerous influences on the Internet.

I am not accusing this sites, managment or the possibility of an ADHD Children forum, however please be cautious of the reality that these kinds of sites are attractive to offenders, who think they are sneaky, yet always get caught.
They are sometimes pretty off the radar hard to notice and spend their whole life practicing how to satifsy themselves at the expense of children. During this process they really feel smart and invisible as if they will never get caught. However the ones I have seen could apply for THE WORLDS DUMBEST CRIMINALS SHOW

Try this wesite. I wish everyone the best !
I'm not trying to hurt anyone, candyhound. I just don't like hearing the stories where the strong meds are hurting children. This one lady wrote (on here) that her child could be dying from it I will take up for any child, if I know they will or might die, or not be the same after taking a drug. If you still think I'm mean for doing so, that is your choice.
I'm not like most people. I don't think like they do. Like .. it's not my child, I don't care what happens to him or her. I love God and his children.
I no, i dotn think you're mean at all. I think you are very carring. I just
wondered why they wouldn't rather go to teen chat rooms.Theres probably one in the bushes below my window right now.
