Srs Biz Scientology targeting children on kids websites!

Scientology has stooped to a new low, targeting children on website designed for children. There is a site that is free and for kids called Neopets. Some adults play, but it's for kiddies. Anyway, my son brought several screen names to my attn in the past week, names like scientology, scientologist, sciokid94, you get the idea. Then after playing a game against this person (who you play with is random usually) he got several neomails ( netpets email) about scientology. He knows to hit the report button and neopets will disable the acct, but there is really no limit to how any accts you can have and they are free. The rules are 4 accts but we all know scientology DOES NOT play by the rules!

Now targeting children! They have a phone number and I have called and stated my frustration with them allowing screen names like this, and I urge you all to do the same. They will not let a neomail go through with the OMG in it but allow talk about scientology unless reported by the receiver!
1-877-neopian.

That number is only given to those who have pay accts but I got a kid with a pay acct to give it to me. I tell you this because they will ask for your acct# or screen name.

THIS IS A NEW LOW FOR THEM!

Does this violate some sort of child predator law, like interpol or whatever that shit is?

Do you live in southeastern Michigan? Are you interested in joining us at the next protest in Farmington Hills? Contact me via PM for details about travel routes, the protest location, local laws, or anything else you may want to know.

Scientology business model

In a December, 2005 feature story in Wired magazine, Doug Dohring, explains how he brought the Scientology business model, known as the "Org Board" and created by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, to Neopets. Dohring had previously used Hubbard's business "technology" or "Admin Tech", as it is termed, to catapult his Dohring Company to one of the largest market research firms in the United States. While Hubbard claimed that the Org Board was a refinement of one used by "an old Galactic civilization" that lasted 80 trillion years, according to Dohring it offered down-to-earth prescriptions for success. "He created a management technology that's very powerful," Dohring says.

This is taking it to another stage you are right.
If children start to get involved at a young age then there is no hope for them at all.
These kind of websites have thousands of children chatting between each other. Think of the children who do not click "report" and get sucked in. And you know as well as I do that it will most likely be adults pretending to be children which also raises another point.

I used the user look up and low and behold, "sceintologist" has 2 accts (pay one) not pets, no games played. "scientology" is a pay acct one pet no games played.Most accts have 4 pets. These are definately adults! You must registed a CC to get a pay acct for 7.95 a month. Furthmore a pay user must refer you. I am so angry about this. Many kids get scammed on this site by falling for the give me your passwiord thing and I'll get you this, so they will also fall for scio BS...

This is so sad. Most likely the majority of kids will not notice the difference between spam and a conversation and will not hit the report button. btw anyone want to make an account for anonymous?

This needs major harpoonage. I think complaining to neopets themselves will be a waste of time since the founder seems to have a love affair with Hubbard business tech. It seems to be a Viacom company so a lot of bad publicity might do the trick.

This is sick and needs treatment. Need a place to send harpoons to - what government departments in the US would monitor the grooming of children? They need to know about this pronto.

Chanology is a flower that grew out of a hole filled with internet shoite. As long as that shoite provides nourishment, that flower will continue to thrive and bloom.
