thought i better nudge this one to go with the other thread.

Linda, you have written 'i'm not sure what else to say' i think SORRY would be a start. i am suspicious at your lack of remorse about what happened, in fact, i think Faith has almost hit the nail on the head there. x

Well I take my hat off to you Linda Butler!!!! Many others wouldnt have had the bottle to stand up and be counted like you just have done!!! I hope said son is punished accordingly and you are forgiven on this site!!! Good On you!!!! for coming clean!!!! You have explained the situation and disregarded the pms cos the were valid but what you didnt do was 'ask forgiveness' Now that takes bottle!!! too many folk say.... 'i'm sorrry' and expect that to be that!!!! Way to go!!! KAREN

Linda I sent you a message to ask you why and also asked you to apologise to the respected member. I used no aggression or bad language, threats or anything else. That is certainly not in my nature to do so. Like tooth fairy says in your interest and the interest of the original names Jan & Piggy they need apologies from you with explanation as this could have ended up a very serious situation luckily it wasn't too bad as not a lot of damage has been done escept the hurt caused to these members. I do hope this can be sorted out and I commend you for at least putting this thread up to explain what has happened that has gone part of the way to helping the situation. Good luck and all the best I hope things work out. But I still have to say I am worried about this sort of thing happening here to fellow members. Pat x

I really think you should apologise to the person concerned and forget the PMs as these peeps were obviously worried for a mate! It is your son who should take the blame not people trying to defend someone they care about.

Excuses...get a real life

I also wouldn't have thought you were in a position to be reporting anybody. Jan is a popular member on here and i think that you should understand that people were upset for her. x

Better still get your son to apologise to the folk he hurt with his comments!! Oh its a cruel world for teenagers!!!! LOL Karen

Then i suggest you send apologies to the apropriate parties that were hurt by what happened and watch your son closer. x

A keen amateur geneoligist I registered on the site and took great pride in all the work on the tree done so far ... A very childish incident has now marred the connections with Genesreunited and feel all privicy has been removed from what i thought was a great site - Message boards are great but a prank has badly backfired which I should have endevoured to stop As a mother, when my teenage son read what I was looking at (Genes Chat) I should have not let him and his friend have access to my login and now realise how badly this has appeared I feel sick at the remarks that started the thread as no malice was intended and no language was used My immediate family have suggested that the person who has originated this should also be reported as various messages were sent personally which i have kept on file so Im not sure what else to say I also have 2 younger children and just wanted to explain
