Being so immersed in this subject for so long, it's easy to
assume that folks interested in this field, from believers to
skeptics, know that very often entire families, including
children as young as three, are the subject of abduction
studies.

Jenny echos some of my concerns in working with children in this
capacity and Greg depicted the very real upset a parent faces
when on the receiving end of this issue. However, my immediate
concern - and the concern of others on this list is that the 120
individuals be notified that their files have been sold
'unsanitized'.

Some of those 120 people most definitely include children.
Regardless of who or what you believe has victimized these
children in the past. I'm sure you'll agree with me that these
children don't deserve any further future victimization.
Pressure needs to be put on Carpenter, NIDS and Bigelow to
communicate with these families. This is something that Skeptics
and Believers can do together - because it's the right thing to
do for these kids.
