So what happens when your family is targeted in a Safe2Tell report?

[KevDen2005]

This is the issue. The reporter should be contacted 1st. Can't taken anonymous reports seriously if a reporter won't stand behind the report.

I can't believe I'm about to defend Safe2Tell, a system that I hate so much and has taken up hours of my life...

The idea is that a kid can tell someone that his or her friend is suicidal. A lot of kids have been afraid in the past because their names have been attached. That's what the system was intended for. Do dumbasses do dumbass things with whatever tool we hand them? Yes. Kids especially. Does Safe2Tell get a lot of "my feelings are hurt so it should be a crime" reports, Yes, a ton. Does Safe2Tell get a lot of, "They looked at me mean so they threatened me reports? Also, yes. However, A lot of adult report that too.

I would love if every single anonymous complaint got to be trashed because they were anonymous, not just Safe2Tell, but in everything. That would save me a ton of time in life.
