The makers of a popular location-based cellphone app for flirting and dating have shut it down after reports that at least three child sexual assaults were set up through the service, including one in Milwaukee County.
The crimes illustrate how sexual predators can quickly exploit advances in social media, prompting calls for ever greater caution among users, inventors and monitors.

In that case, a 21-year-old Waukesha man, Daniel R. Schmidt, was charged June 5 with sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy he met via Skout.com.
According to the criminal com plaint, Schmidt said he was 16 to gain access to the under-18 group, where the victim was online via BoyAhoy, a Skout.com app aimed at gay men. They exchanged messages, and the victim sent Schmidt a photo of his genitals before they agreed to meet.
Schmidt then picked up the boy in Muskego and drove him to Hales Corners Park, where a woman walking her dog noticed them engaging in sexual conduct and called police. An officer confronted Schmidt and the boy as they emerged from a secluded area of the park.

Scary that this happened less than a mile from my house!
Morality ping.
Gay marriage is clearly the way to go. Then the guys could just adopt a bunch of 13-year-olds.
The app is called BoyAhoy???
NAMBLA must be so proud. What else could the app’s name mean???
Typical homosexual behavior. I’m almost surprised the police didn’t arrest the woman for denying these fags their “rights”.
Would all of this have been okay if Mr. Schmidt were 17 instead of 21? Or could we get a consensus agreement that it's just WRONG for a 13-year-old boy to mail a picture of his penis to a stranger and then meet said stranger, regardless of age, for public sodomy?
And if there's nothing wrong with it, why are we calling the boy, who seems to have been acting with independent volition, a "victim"?
I guess the Most High and Holy Emperor Princess Barry
will have to find something else to do tonight.
“Gay marriage is clearly the way to go. Then the guys could just adopt a bunch of 13-year-olds.”
I am beyond certain that that is the plan.
Reminds me of when God sent angels to Sodom to warn them about their behavior, and the Sodomites bent the angels over a table and 'engaged in sexual conduct'.
The entire concept of flirting with someone over the internet or on a mobile phone was a bad idea from the start. All right, when someone even does this, do they have any idea who they are sending the e-flirts too? Some person who is a predator? A normal guy? I wouldn’t even be comfortable with the fact that middle school girls send pics and racy comments to their boyfriends, and vice versa.
I don’t flirt online or over a mobile phone, and I honestly wouldn’t encourage anyone to do it.
Wisconsin child predator ping
FReep mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
It’s just plain sick.
