And you called me a burk, all it takes is one stupid comment like that for people to start thinking the forum broke US Federal law on purpose. Not something I am sure you want people thinking.
We did not know he was under 13 so did not brake the US Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). I actually thought he was the same age as my son who has just turned 14.
I informed Mick what age I thought he was when he was being harassed by some members a while ago and as soon as it was stated he was 12 I reported this to Mick using the report system to leave a permanent trail in case needed. Both Mick and I contacted him explaining what he needed to do. His age was still hearsay from another member at this point. As has been stated by Mick the required paperwork is not in place. I think the forum acted very responsibly in dealing with this matter.
