And the reply I received was apologetic but they could not help her because she was under-age. I am in ongoing correspondence with GR regarding this - partly regarding the seeming inability to prevent under-age subscribers, partly stressing that, in my opinion, all boards should be for paying subscribers only.

I sent a message to GR asking if they would help the young lady in question, and sent a PM to her telling her that I had done so. Joy |

Guess the tree does add a touch of authenticity. But you're right, the link to success should be removed. I wonder how much success a non-paid member can actually have since you have to rely on others making the first contact. Success should be for full paid members only. |

Good point Rebs,but would a kid start a tree just for a stunt? If it is genuine then i'm afraid i have to say she wouldn't be able to deal with the situation,it isn't always a fairytale finding a parent. The worst thing about the homepage is that stupid link to success board ' i typed in my adopted husbands name and within four hours found............' About time THAT was removed. Glen |

Well, yeah but, if it is genuine, they shouldn't be on here and open to abuse. It does make you wonder! (typing in my sleep again) Nanna-M ;) |

Hate to be cynical, but is this genuine? Kids have got on here before and pulled stunts like this. |

She sounds like one disappointed little lady that's for sure. Joined GR today by the look of things. A real difficult situation. Just wondered what everyone thought. Glen |

I agree with what you have done Elaine. Such a shame she can't find an adult who is willing to help her. she is so young Germaine x |

Don't know if I have done right but sent her to b4usearch as there is someone of the name she seeks, with an address in Hartlepool. Probably put my big foot in it again !! Liz |

Heather, you must be joking. lt's enough trying to stay out of trouble myself. How on earth do I keep someone who wears tinsel knickers out of the deep end? *padlocks ankle chain to well rooted down fir tree* |

Ive mailed abuse and explained the situation,and asked them to remove the post. its not my not wanting to help, but as said, shes a vunerable young girl, and people may take advantage especially now shes given her dads name elaine x |

She can't start the contact,and the other member hasn't tried to contact her. |
