Sparklebox - is it still owned and managed by a paedophile?

Ds came home from school today with an 'Honours' card which had 'Sparklebox' in small letters on the bottom left hand corner. Before I email the head I'd appreciate it if someone would please let me know whether it is now a legitimate company or whether it is still owned and controlled by Daniel/Samuel Kinge or whatever he is calling himself these days.

All the schools round here have been given the 'go ahead' to use it, although I always remove the sparklebox logo from
Anything!

I've just checked and he is still registered as a director so clearly makes a living from this site. I'm really shocked if using these resources is now considered ok. Surely it is providing income to a registered sex offender? Shock

Why does removing the logo make it OK to support a twice convicted paedophile PenguinBear?
and yes bico it is still owned and controlled by Samuel Kinge

Yes, you're right - he is still a registered director and profits from the site - despite the fact that the same website was implicated in the second charge.

Schools were given the 'go ahead' regarding IT issues (dodgy toolbar connected with site).

Whether you give yourself the go ahead to help a twice convicted paedophile earn a living whilst still - however indirectly - linked to children is up to the individual.

I am with you, and would be emailing the Head ASAP.

Thanks. I'm hoping it is an old resource but even so I don't think it is at all appropriate that the school is continuing to use it.

Just visiting the site generates income for Mr Kinge
