We have to use our vast experience with the Internet and people in trouble online and use it to help avoid another tragedy, such as Jonesboro or Littleton. That's how the idea for KIDReportline evolved. We needed to do something. We will take tips only from classmates of the students whose sites are being reported. Adults, whether teachers or parents, can report their suspicions to the school, family members or law enforcement authorities.
Classmates often have no place to turn.
They are afraid of reporting anything to the school. But classmates are often the only ones who can fully appreciate the risks posed by some of their classmates. They are also usually the only ones who know of fellow classmates' websites. We will take tips only about students' websites. If the student is threatening violence using another media, we will refer the classmate sending us the tip to report it to their school or elsewhere.
