Using Instagram?

By

Using Instagram? If so, can you take a moment to report this account? I checked and it's a real account. I didn't see any nudity or anything of a sexual nature in the 3 seconds it took me to report the profile, but with a name like "Pedofiles_R_Us" I don't want to take any chances. Had it just been pictures of kids without the profile name I'd probably let it slide, but there does seem to be some sort of intent involved.

Looks like George Kastanza from Sienfeld.
I don`t think it`s real but who knows.
Why would anyone use what looks like a police mug shot and call the account that.
More likely someone else set it up as warning of a real pedo. or a joke.

Could be, Paul Lucas. I would think that a real pedo would be smart enough to not use that word in their username, but I've overestimated people before.

On second look isnt that a serial killer caught and prosecuted and convicted in the past 15 years? He worked for the town he lived in and he was a jerk on his job causing problems for people.
It was in the U.S.

The bottom line is people should quit posting public pictures of their kids.  I know, I know, we should all be able to, however, the reality is that sexual predators exist and they could be attracted to your kids.  There is no real reason to PUBLICLY post pix of kids (or yourself either for that matter).  It opens you up to victimization.

At least use security settings to restrict who can see them.

but Teresa Atkinson, some people don't live in a world where we're victims waiting to happen. Could it happen? Yes. Will it happen? Maybe, maybe not.

Yes.  But even our own public mug shots can be used to victimize us....

I don't live in a world which I fear. I feel sorry for you that you do.

+Jason On, then that is your mistake.  Do you also post your social security number and birth date?  How about scanning your credit cards and putting them out on Instragram.  Why don't you post those things?   Why don't you leave your wallet with cash sitting on a park bench while you go get a latte? Because doing these things opens you up to victimization.  But you'll post your face and your kids faces on the internet? which is just as likely to open you up.   This is reality, I'm talking about.

Its the kids that are victims.
Adults are on their own.

Teresa Atkinson, no I don't post my SSN, my card numbers or anything else that can be used to attack me directly. Refusing to use a picture of my face or children I'm related to? That's just asinine. Even if I'm not actively using them, someone is. Someone is posting pictures of a birthday party I or mine attended. Someone is posting pictures of a holiday event I or mine attended. Someone is posting pictures of a wedding I or mine attended. Now, do I post or allow posting of pictures of a sexually suggestive nature of myself or mine? Absolutely not.

Its not living in fear.
It`s common sense.
Some people do nothing till something happens.
Like house,car, life insurance.
After the fact is to late.

There is no safe place on this planet either.
Only in the land of denial - lol
You don't have to live in fear.
That should`nt stop you from covering your ass.

I have confidence that someday you'll realize just how much you're setting yourself up by doing those things.  Until then, knock yourself out.

Jason ON  is right about controlling pic posts by others.
There`s no way to stop that.

I feel like a politician. 
Flip floppin on the issue.
But a good point is a good point - lol

The major difference is, I refuse to live life as a coward. I am reasonable in my online protections, but not paranoid.

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me.

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea?

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

What's so innovative about the Apple Watch?

What's so innovative about the Apple Watch? What has Apple done since the launch of the iPhone that was truly innovative? I read articles all he time about features this and software that, but I haven't seen anything where it was definitively proven where Apple has been cutting edge for years. christopher rizzo called me a troll for questioning his religious adherence to Apple consumerism.  So, can someone explain where Apple is truly innovative? I'm not talking about a minor change like the USB-C port or "slide to unlock" but a true innovation that's once again changing the industry. http://www.fastcodesign.com/3043419/what-the-apple-watch-does-that-googles-watches-dont
