Congress Reacts to Wikipedia Firestorm
FoxNews.com was recently informed that the day after the Wikipedophilia post appeared on this blog, Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, sent a copy of Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger's letter to the FBI. Rep. Steve Austria, R-Ohio, sent a copy of the same letter to the FBI on April 27. Perhaps this is the kind of bi-partisanship we've all been waiting for. Stay tuned for updates which are posted here on FoxNews.com.
An interesting side note: Wikipedia apparently got its start in the world of online pornography. According to an article on Wikipedia:

Wikipedia Responds to FOXNews.com Story
Yesterday, FOXNews.com published this story online entitled "Wikipedia Distributing Child Porn, Co-Founder Tells FBI." Now both the Wikimedia Foundation and one subject of the exposé, Erik Möller, have responded.
According to the Wikimedia blog:
The story repeats serious falsehoods and offers information taken grossly out of context, resulting in what amounts to a deliberate misrepresentation of reality.
The Wikimedia Foundation is appalled and angry that Erik’s employment with us has resulted in him becoming a target, and we believe that recklessly maligning him ...
Wikipedophilia
I've been sitting on this story for quite some time waiting for something significant to make it relevant. Now that time has come. About two years ago, rumors started floating around about Wikipedia's involvement with child pornography and the pedophile agenda. First there was a row about this image on Wikipedia depicting child nudity.
Then there was the long-standing allegation by Perverted Justice that:
Pedophiles have long sought to use Wikipedia to justify and promote their agenda. They organize together in order to create Wikipedia accounts and then seek to use ...
School Captured 56,000 Images from Student Laptops
Finally the truth about Lower Merion's use of remote monitoring software on student laptops: On Monday, the District's lawyer admitted that the school system captured 56,000 images of students, although thankfully "none of the images appeared to be salacious or inappropriate."
Back in February, the District's website declared that they only activated the software to locate lost, stolen or missing laptops: "The district has not used the tracking feature or webcam for any other purpose or in any other manner whatsoever," the Web site said.
Conclusion: there must be an ...
100 Year Old Pedophile Back in Prison
Last December, I covered the story of Theodore Sypnier, a 100-year-old child molester who was released from prison denying that he ever harmed any children. Well apparently he believed in what he said so much that he violated parole and was returned to the clink for failing to attend sex offender classes.
This just in from SkunkPost.com:
It isn’t every day that a 100-year-old man is sentenced to prison.
But not too many 100-year-old men are convicted pedophiles.
Theodore Sypnier is. You may remember, last year when he was released from prison and sent to a halfway ...
Protect NCMEC?
The National Association to PROTECT Children, which describes itself as "a national pro-child, anti-crime membership association. . . . committed to building a powerful, nonpartisan force for the protection of children from abuse, exploitation and neglect," recently issued this rare rebuke of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children:
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) paid its CEO over $1.3 million in salary and compensation in 2008, the St. Petersburg Times reported last week, in an article now drawing fire from the group.
"In ...
NYTimes: Prosecutors Gone Wild
The New York Times editorialized today about sexting:
Schools across the country are understandably concerned about students “sexting” — sending sexually suggestive photos and text messages by cellphone. But a Pennsylvania school district went too far when it referred several female students for criminal prosecution after their images showed up on other students’ phones and they refused to participate in an antisexting education program. A federal appeals court was right to rule last week that parents had the right to block the district attorney ...
