Kudos goes to La Shawn Barber for first blogging about this.
A marriage and family therapist intern is trying to convince Google to drop a website from its popular, free blog host that promotes “boy love,” sexual relationships between men and adolescents.
Stacy L. Harp of Orange, Calif., told WorldNetDaily one of the readers of her weblog pointed out the site, called “Paiderastia: The Boy Love Revival.” Read More
Fox News interviewed Stacy concerning the fact that Google refuses to take down these pedophile blogs. The segment is about 5 minutes long and can be viewed at Blogforbooks.com ; please show your support by visiting Stacy’s website.
I’d like to address something here. Recently, I was up against a situation involving a blogger user. Blogger states on it’s website to please report any violations of the TOS via the Blogger Support home page.
I’ve done so. I then received the following automatic response.
E-mail:
Thank you for writing regarding content posted on xxxxx.blogspot.com. We would like to confirm that we have received and reviewed your inquiry dated xx/xx/xx.
They didn’t even remove the xxxx and replace it with the address that I had reported.
The generated e-mail further states:
Thank you for your note. Blogger is a provider of content creation tools, not a mediator of that content. We allow our users to create blogs, but we don’t make any claims about the content of these pages. In cases where a contact email address is listed on the page, we recommend working directly with the author to have this situation remedied.
Might I add, the blog that I”ve reported is in strict violation of Blogger’s terms of service that is located here. http://www.blogger.com/terms
Bloggers terms of service read:
Member agrees not to transmit through the service any unlawful, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, or harmful material of any kind or nature.Member further agrees not to transmit any material that encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law or regulation.
I’m aware that blogger is a provider of content creation tools, not a mediator of that content. However, I have tried to show them how this questionable content is a violation in accordance to their TOS, they’ve chose to ignore that.
Kudos to Stacy for bringing the pedophile blogs to media’s attention. Something needs to be done. I support her in her efforts.

Thanks for writing about this. Although, La Shawn was actually late to blogging about this, as others jumped on this right after I did.
Bloggers are always trying to make sure the facts are out there

Stacy, thank you for commenting on my blog. I was giving credit to La Shaw as I wouldn’t of known about it hadn’t it been for her blog. The more bloggers that links to it the better. The main thing is that we get the word out.

Hi Rose,
The ACLU in the United States is an advocate for Nambla and this “Man-Boy” community. They feel that Nambla has the right to express their view that there is no harm in a man having sex with a boy. It just makes me sick, that these people claim there is no harm done with this type of behavior. Ask all the young men who were molested by Catholic Priests molested in the 50’s and 60’s. Also ask my husband, whom a male family friend raped when he was young. I doubt if any of them will say what a wonderful experience this was and that it was of no significance in their lives at all.
This is not an issue of free speech; this is about rape and molestation, as well as the ruination of countless of young boys throughout the world. In reality, it feels good only to the man, who wants to commit and minimize a brutal act towards a child. How this can even is an issue of debate and how the ACLU can justify their part in backing Nambla is mystifying to me. I wonder how many of these lawyers would just love to give their sons to one of these Nambla men, so they too can experience this wonderful painless experience? Yes, I am angry over this. These are young lives at stake, young boys who will one day be adults trying to sort out their childhood pain for the rest of their lives. Get real ACLU; what is being done here is sacrificing our children for so called free speech!!! Nambla, you are sick perverts, who justify sexual assault by saying there is no harm done. Do you really think we are that stupid? It is time to speak out against such painful travesty as this.
