The scary bit is really the fact that we can not do much and/or choose not to do much with younger teens because of that bogey of Gay=Pedophilia crap that we all have had to live with and negotiate around. Even GB does not allow anyone below 18. Sad and True - Aditya B Aditya - If a person or organization takes all the proper precautions to safe guard the minor from sexual abuse...there are almost no cases of pedophilia.. But where people do a sloppy job of monitoring the counselors and mentors...it is very easy for unfortunate situations to occur.. GB by putting the age limit at 18...is merely trying to cover its and yahoo's asses should they get sued...I am sure that many underaged people have had contact with GB over the years.. The internet is almost impossible to make pedophilia safe...but if GB wished to counsel and mentor young variant children in the real world....and do it safely....all they would need to do is find the 'right' people to do the work...and to then put in place an exacting monitoring system to track the youths and adults to keep either from straying into unfortunate situations.. Speak with the loony doctors, medical doctors, police and schools...and in no time flat I am sure you can put together a better youth program than Rainbow Alley in Denver.. But remember do not be sloppy and careless...it only takes one unfortunate situation to sink the program.. Elizabeth **************Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?
