The 'comes' didn't come up.Whys that ?

Oh ye of little faith...comes to mind.

Linda As you are a fairly new member of this site I will give you the benefit of the doubt. It is obvious that you have no idea how much trouble can be caused by someone 'stealing' another person's identity on this site. It has happened several times in the past and caused untold hurt and trouble. I do agree with others who have said an apology from your son would be a good first step to take. Secondly I would advise that you keep your password to yourself in future and this will never occur again. My 18 year old grandson has access to my computer but there is no way I would let him know my password. Jean.

I am with Paul here. I don't believe a word of lyndas post. I do believe that she has intentionally caused trouble, tried to cover her tracks when she realised she'd been found out and then posted this lie. This was posted last night AFTER i sent her a PM saying she will be barred from the site if she continues to cause trouble...suddenly the thread appeared with no apologies only excuses pointing the finger at someone else.. WHAT A LOAD OF C**P!!!! AND why on earth would she 'give' her login and password to 'her son and his friend' to use in the first place... AND where is she now? probably laughing her socks off thinking she's got away with it! xx

Look..it's not abuse it's just that you are not giving the woman a chance.She may well have pm ed an apology to the parties concerned and we lot shouldn't be adding our pennies worth.Yes I know people are sticking up for someone they like,and rightly so,but shouldn't we all just stay out of it now?

Maybe I've missed something here.... as I see it a prank has been perpetrated by some teenagers..... I understand Jan would feel a bit shocked to see someone posting as her but nothing untoward or offense was posted (unless I missed it!). Mountains and molehills come to mind. Linda do as Ken says.... change your log in password. Give your son a stern talking to and let him know he has hurt not only friends of yours but you yourself..... Death is occuring out there folks!!!! Jacquie xxxx

How old is Lindas son and his friend ? And why on earth would you let your teenage son and his mate muck about on a site which is not intended to be a teenage chat room type site ? It is well known when you get a couple of teenagers go on a site (sharing a pc) they are bound to have some high jinks , wind ups and laughs on whatever site they are on, especially if its during the night ! (no offence to our teenage members who use and respect the site and its members) also on message board guidelines it says ................................................................................ 'And, please don’t impersonate anyone.' 'don’t communicate anything that is, or could be considered to be, defamatory, FALSE, unreliable or misleading about any person, business or thing.' ................................................................................. and I also noticed there was no SORRY on this thread as well. Elaine x ps..another reason why boardnames shouldnt be altered.

I agree with every word Bev has said. If my son had done anything like this as a teenager he would have been writing an apology quicksmart. I would also have apologised myself for allowing my account to be accessed and I certainly wouldn't complain about the people wronged by my son's actions. Gwynne

Bev, Well said. Ken - report me for what ? For sticking up for a friend ? For disbelieving someone ? How is that abuse ?

I think it is good when some one owns up to their account being abused, but am I missing some thing here, I saw no appology, nor remorse for what happened, it was put down to teenage pranks, those of us with teenagers know that some times they do silly things without thinking, but Linda your son and his friend did do wrong, so they should be the ones being told off, not Jan's friends for sticking up for her, your son should be made to face up to what he has done, and post his own appology on here, that is the way children learn that some behaviour is not acceptable, by having to face up to their actions. Bev

Paul,do you have teenage sons ? I have three and believe me,when they want to take the pi**,they can do it in a big way without thinking of the outcome.

Paul we have to take everything on these boards at face value unless there is evidence to the contrary. I, and everyone else, have no reason to disbelieve Linda, and unless you have more information than the rest of us are privy to then, I suggest you temper your replies accordingly. If you had said that to me I would be reporting you to GR Abuse. Linda may I suggest you change your password, and logout each time you leave your PC. You can then get back to your searching and hopefully forget about this incident Ken xx

Because it doesn't ring true to me. Also, some of the timings of the posts have been in the early hours of the morning. (also there was no SORRY in this post) It's just my opinion !

Why not Paul?

Hear Hear Beth!! Well Said!! (Spoken as the mother of a far from perfect teenage boy) ;o)) Kim x

If I'm wrong about something, then I'll say so, but I don't believe this story in this instance.

Ah but Paul.What if this is one of those times ? Would you not feel bad then for having gave someone gip for no reason...

Paul, There are also plenty of others who are unpleasant and never apologise! CB >|< (Speaking from personal experience)

Sorry, don't believe a word of it And why is it that when someone acts badly and apologises everyone seems to think it makes it alright ? Some people make a habit of being unpleasant, and think that an apology (which 9 times out of 10 they don't mean) will make everything OK.

Good morning everyone.I haven't read the thread you are talking about,but can imagine what happened.The way I see it is you should apologise for letting your son use the site and for whatever upset he has caused.For those of us with kids,especially teenagers,we should be a bit more understanding.Hands up those who have the best kids in the world and don't do any wrong......hhmmm......I don't see any hands up !! Listen,the people who were upset should realise it wasn't you.You have been embarrased by your son,who hasn't.Don't upset yourself by this anymore. Take care. Elizabeth.
