NP, but You wouldn't have received this update from either CNN or Wash Post. It's from another source.

I'll just go ahead and unsubscribe CNN Breaking News and Washington Post.

The hobby community needs to be aware of the hot spots, recent arrests, and stuff like that.

Not everyone reads all the published news every morning.

If you found it first, then why didn't you post it so that the rest of us can be informed?

Because of a few reasons
1 I do my own research and protect myself.
2 I would not be dealing with this kind of low rent pimp as anyone on here with class would not.
3 All of the areas you mentioned are where the low rent girls with pimps hang. I would never venture there.

...to report any SUSPECTED abuse of a minor.
After all, we're more likely to stumble upon it.

First two, you start with the word "I"... Sure, you protect yourself but this forum is for public sharing of knowledge, to help one another. You might be the greatest due diligence guy on the board but what's the use if you're only keeping it to yourself?

I do agree with your 3rd point.
