							| Sparklebox website boycott 
 |  
							| Hi 
 We have just been informed at my school that, as the owner of the Sparklebox website has been convicted of paedophilia, the site is to be boycotted. I �m not suggesting that everyone here do the same, but I thought I ought to inform everyone so they can make their own decision.
 
 Here is the article about it on the Times Educational Supplement page:

 Thank you and sorry to spread such sad news.

							| Children first - so if this person has abused or hurt  children in anyway - he is definitely banned forever. What a degenerate - people like this make me sick.
 
 Thanks for the heads-up.
