Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 i completely agree that they need to be held accountable, but we need to be careful how we approach it..my first instinct was to go in with all barrels blazing..but that is exactly the kind of reaction they are hoping to provoke. I don't think that it will do much good for us to deal with them directly, and may, in fact, cause more harm than good (imo) Your suggestions are great! Ok to forward them to a couple of other listservs that I am on?thanksKathyR Dear all,I have been reading the messages and, just like all of you was outraged by what is going on. My daughters photo was there too (though I couldnt find it among those used by he attackers). I agree with those who say that its useless to write messages on the forum. And also dont want to make it more public, if it can be avoided. But t, wether they are persons who want publicity or plain stupid teenagers, the one thing we have to make sure happens, is that they are brought to justice for that. They are in the wrong. I am no attorney, but there are several laws they have breached (my legal vocabulary isnt great, either). The federal hate crime law recently signed and that will be used on the case of a young woman who was tortured and died recently at school will probably apply to this case, too.http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2010/02/disabled_womans_torture_death.html On the FBI page it is possible to file a complaint for cyber crime and , although it is important that the NDSC takes action as an organization - and we should make sure it dows -, those who have had their loved ones targetd should at least filea complaint there. http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx On the FBI site there are also some tips to keep safe on social networks http://www.fbi.gov/page2/april06/socialnetworking040306.htm Recently in Italy 3 google executives were sentenced for a video of a boy being bullied on youtube. We cant let those things go unpunished.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Only the parents who's children were violated, received the letter from . I got a email blast only due to being a NDSC member. His poster was "Hero..." right? Blond, beautiful boy? Unfortunately, NDSC removed all the posters from their website and no one from NDSC has come out yet to let us know if the campaign is still a go. I hope they don't cancel it due to these sickos.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I just wanna make sure no one is upset with me for bringing this to yall's attention. There are now two groups (NDSC, OZSquad) working on your behalf and I think that is a great thing. There are also some legal groups consulting on the whole thing.

However, I painfully went through all the posts to see if my son's poster was there and I discovered that the instigator actually made a donation to NDSC. They should be able to trace that donation and perhaps they have more resources/funds to log on and discover the profile and IP addresses of them. If I had access, I could find out who exactly they are. Police reports should be filed. Give me a minute and I can think of what the exact code is they broke....it may be different from state to state, which makes me think of the FBI being involved. I know civilly it is called defamation of character and I do know that they have stolen copyright infringement with the NDSC logo. I think every one of them needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law (jail time) and restiitution. I also think they need to do community service (let the service they have to do match the crime....like stand on street corners in their town holding a large sign that says what they did.)

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Tolleson said they checked and no donations from non-members made in past 2 months--so they perp's a liar too--big surprise!Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerryDate: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 05:44:55 -0000To: <DownSyndromeInfoExchange >Subject: [DownSyndromeInfoExchange] Re: Fwd: NDSC poster contest The reason I told NDSC about the fact that the instigator made a donation was so that they could nab the IP address or identify the person who did it.Why do people want to be mean and hurt other people? What kind of twisted mentality does that?The only way to make them pay is to personally sue them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 No, I guess not. I just did not want to be the reason people wrote angry letters. Just feeling guilty I guess.

I think that the people who did it need to be held accountable, I just didn't think that angry letters would do any good.

Although, filing complaints with the FBI, etc is a good idea, contacting these perverts is probably counterproductive. ette To: DownSyndromeInfoExchange From: kratkiewiczgmail Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:17:06 -0500 Subject: Re: [DownSyndromeInfoExchange] Re: Fwd: NDSC poster contest My son just went to look at the site, and he said that right now, there are only about 165 responses..it isn't even on their first page anymore...this site sometimes has thousands of messages in a thread...his advice is to just let the NDSC take take of it, because if a lot of people start sending in angry letters, they WILL be posted, and it will spur them on, draw a TON more attention to the posters, which is the exact opposite of what we want. If you feel like you need to write, write a letter appealing to their better nature, and that *might* work. I am as big an enemy of this kind of stuff as anyone, but sometimes, the best thing to do is to just ignore it..those people are bottom feeders, and they THRIVE on controversy..makes them feel powerful, and makes them even meaner.

If you can, gather what you have and send it to NDSC. Do what you feel comfortable with. I did not want to mention that this piece of crap made a donation. That is just so, so scary sick...I dont even have a word to describe how sick. As I said before, be careful folks.

In order to post or find out the profiles of these worthless jerks/criminals, you have to pay $9.95. However, I painfully went through all the posts to see if my son's poster was there and I discovered that the instigator actually made a donation to NDSC. They should be able to trace that donation and perhaps they have more resources/funds to log on and discover the profile and IP addresses of them. If I had access, I could find out who exactly they are. Police reports should be filed. Give me a minute and I can think of what the exact code is they broke....it may be different from state to state, which makes me think of the FBI being involved. I know civilly it is called defamation of character and I do know that they have stolen copyright infringement with the NDSC logo. I think every one of them needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law (jail time) and restiitution. I also think they need to do community service (let the service they have to do match the crime....like stand on street corners in their town holding a large sign that says what they did.) Some extensive and lengthy volunteer work involving the handicapped would be excellent. > > >You have to PAY to $9.99 to post here?

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 But the good news is it will go away after awhile. Usually caching sites throw away those web page snapshots after a period of time. I know you can hold the company caching the page responsible, but by the time you get them to respond, the automatic cache removal might have already discarded it.
