FTFA: Jarrett told Reuters he hoped that AmberWatch TV will be "a place where people can have a conversation, and offer solutions and ideas, and really take these tragic stories and try to figure out how to stop them from happening."

So it's like Chat Roulette?

more like the old net, for old fappers who aren't allowed on the new net.

South Park offered some excellent, practical solutions to this problem.

This will be made for pedos

Meanwhile, a national pedophile group has launched a website to promote their views on marriage.

From TFA: "The AmberWatch Foundation's video on demand channel" aka "pics or it didn't happen."

Wouldn't the constant chatter about the abuse really arouse a pedo? I mean, unintended consequences and all, is this really a good idea? You're going to have perverts fapping all over your message.

I wonder how much taxpayer money is spent on the Child Protection™ industry?

FTA :

"We are thrilled that we are able to have this platform that everybody can contribute to, and raise awareness, so that if (someone) sees a little boy getting raped in a bathroom, he doesn't go home and tell his dad, but goes and breaks it up joins in," said Keith Jarrett, chief executive of the AmberWatch Foundation, noting the scandal at Penn State.

FTFE.

Now taking bets on how long it takes until it runs nothing but COPS reruns, a cheap, shallow knockoff of The Screen Savers, pro wrestling, and a harried, bitter, middle-aged Adam Sessler hosting what's left of the corpse of Extended Play.

Yeah, this won't be abused.

John Walsh, you have some new career opportunties.

/Also looking at a Perverted Justice show. Although I want to see the full scripts.

Maybe it's a sting to catch pedos or maybe it's run by pedos. It's not easy to tell.

Britney Spear's Speculum: I wonder how much taxpayer money is spent on the Child Protection™ industry?

Huh, you mean like the drunk driving and "some drugs" industries? Where a few people carve out their niche and agree to share a common dump for the waste product from their cash harvesting machines?

Seriously, that quote in the article really stood out as being astoundingly idiotic
A kid who's young enough that his first impulse is to tell his daddy probably isn't old enough to safely confront the abuser on his own. His best bet for intervention is to run and tell the nearest (non-kid-raping) adults. A little kid trying to stop it on his own would put himself in danger of becoming abusee #2.

TV channel to stop sex abuse? Catholic churches and CCTV, you're doing it wrong.

But I thought just wearing a ribbon would cure this problem.

Who is this Amber, and is she hot?

A. I think child abuse is the worst idea ever.

B. Who the hell would ever watch this EXCEPT pedophiles?

The terms "molestation, abduction and cyberbullying" should never occur in the same sentence as "video on demand channel".

/I'm pretty sure that rule originated with Strunk and White.

Don't we already have Toddlers and Tiaras for this demographic?

/Tried to watch it once.
//Worst six minutes of my television viewing life.

Yeah, I realized that just now, when I finally clicked on an article about the Penn State case, which I hadn't followed up until now. So, yeah, it was my own post that was entirely clueless. I thought it was a description of a kid witness telling his parent; it didn't occur to me that it could be a reference to an actual case of an adult doing only that.

Which perhaps I should have gathered from the context, but really, any adult should already know to intervene in such a case and call the cops, with or without a special Amber channel to tell them to do so. It didn't occur to me that this could even be a question in the mind of any sane adult with at least a mostly-functional brain. If a person hasn't already figured that sort of thing out by the time they're an adult, I have my doubts about whether any special informational TV channel is going to get through to them, either.

A pervert fapping is a pervert not raping.
