on another forum i used to use a poster posted openly about beginning a relationship with a prolific child sex offender whilst having a young daughter in the house.

from what i understand the Admin of that site actually grew a pair and passed the details on to relevant agencies. im not sure what the outcome of this was, though i think the decision to do so was the right one.

i am wondering what the stance is on this site as far as remaining anonymous goes if a poster posts something that really warrants action being taken, or where someone is clearly in danger?

Hi Vicar
We have on a couple of occasions been contacted by the police on behalf of social services and have always cooperated. Basically if it's a police matter which the example you've given would be, then our policy is to pass details on.

VicarInaTuTu - just popping in to say sorry you didn't get a response to your reported post last night.

As you can imagine, you weren't the only one to report that thread - by a long way! - and the poor MNHQ-er who was on duty had quite a night of it.

We do try to answer every single reported post (and email) that comes into us but occasionally - and especially on a night like last night - we do slip up and miss one or two.

I think Justine's post here pretty much answers the questions you were asking. If not, or if you have any further concerns, please email us again at [email protected] and I'll make sure you get a reply this time!
