Every so often, we see a "question" from a "young" man posing as very lonely, no one to talk to, etc. "He" asks for help and ideas. Responders then get an email that hints at willingness. In one email from a response I gave, the email from him quickly turned vaguely suggestive, hinting about older men met at the "Y." When I strongly told him to leave older men alone, that he was setting them up for arrest, the emails stopped. Has anyone else experienced this...I have no doubt that someone or some group is working this site for entrapment...as a warning, be very careful who you try to help here, and how you try to help them. I can see innocent people here being arrested for no reason other than giving advice. Be warned. What has been your experience here?

I agree with the cyber stuff...I have absolutely NO interest in sex with any young person. I am checking to see if anyone else has had this experience. And, in fact, in the reply I gave the "kid", I clearly stated that I had NO interest other than his well being.

I have had this experience thee different times , I couldn't be less interested in sex with someone who is underage or Young enough to be my son . I guess in one way its a good thing , there are a lot of people here who do say things like I just had sex with my son , and I need help because I am having sex with my step son ect . No on knows if they are serious or not but what if they are .

This is one reason that when I see what appears to be a troubled young person, I always respond in PUBLIC not by email, and my response includes some suggestions of where he might find authentic community resources for help.
I have no interest in sex with youngsters, but moreover, I have no interest in someone making a case suggesting that I do. At the same time, I recognize that there are some genuinely troubled or "lost" young people here,and this forum should be one where they can find help. It's a dilemma for sure.

I hate to say it but I am glad that there are police patroling the internet just to keep it as safe as possible I ma more than willing to play within the rules to protect others That being said I am in no way opposed to people of legal age meeting through the internet gay or streight and it is a great place for young gay teens to learn and come to terms with being gay but there are sites like Gay.com tht are set up for such things not general chat rooms like yahoo answers or My space. and if you ever get email like that just say you are going to report them add thier address to the email so they know that they can easily be identified.

I always tell a person I am not for them if they are young I give them what advice I can and keep it as non inviting as I can. I give them nothing they could not find on the web themselves and even tell them to search for the info by themselves. I have never cybered with a young person and if they are trying to cyber they quickly realize they got the wrong adult for that.

What do you mean "arrest"?
If the person writing the question is the age of majority, then there should be no problem.
Now, if they are saying that they are minors, then I for one applaud the arrests!

I had a man start sending me messages with vulgar suggestiions. I told him to go away and when he persisted I told him I would notify the authorities and he went away.

it has to be dont that way, as they are unlikey to come out any other way.
