Total bullshit.

I do as I please

lol i put mine as michael jackson

If everyones pic is a cartoon, how do the predators find the children in the first place. The hard of thinking yet again hear the word paedophile and panic without thinking things through – someone started that rumour just to take away other peoples enjoyment and the thought that they might be doing some good.

with everyones pic changed they can use a popular name like matt smith and send out a bunch of request whoever knows a matt smith may accept without any questions if everyones is a cartoon.

Changing your profile pic to a cartoon is not going to stop child abuse. Just shows people have too much time on there hands. If you want to really help then find a real group to contribute to or find some other form of supporting abused children.

My daughter was beaten up, bullied & abused n school. This campaign no matter what your take on it is, is a show of solidarity against violence & abuse against children! Duplicity can b found n every element including this article!

Child Abuse Awareness(This is the name of the organization,look it up)
Change your default pic to a cartoon character/show and invite ur friends to do the same! There should be no human faces on FB..This is a campaign to STOP violence against children!! Do this until Monday, December 6th!!!Start on Thursday (this is What they had posted.)

Children shouldn’t be on facebook… and if they are, their parents should be closely monitoring what information they post and who they are accepting/requesting as friends.

I also agree with some of you.. My kids do not have a facebook or a myspace page.. I do not feel children should be allowed to be involved in any of those sites

Not to be the voice of reason here, as I rarely am, but there are many of us that are on the games of Facebook and of Zynga and accept requests from anyone. Once they are friends with you, regardless of the fact that they may or may not be playing these games too, they have total access to your little girl’s photos. And you thought that one pedophile down the street was bad, now you have given thousand’s the right to peruse through you private photos.

I think some of you are missing the point. Of course changing your profile pic will not stop child abuse. The campaign is to raise awareness about child abuse. People tend to overthink the simplest things sometimes. Just don’t participate if you don’t want to. Not that big of a deal. Geesh.

Seriously? And then you link your own blog as proof of your little conspiracy. This is ridiculous shit.

I don’t think Facebook should only be for people over 18, but I do think that if a kid is attracted to a cartoon profile picture, then they’re too young to have a Facebook.
Also, if you have a cartoon picture as your profile, you shouldn’t have a Facebook, but then there are those really weird adults with the anime profile pictures, so…
But if it is to help support Child Abuse, then that’s really great.

Oh, and if you see ANYONE still using MySpace, please remind them it’s 2010.

*help support Child Abuse AWARENESS.

Anyone under the age of 16 shouldn’t be allowed to add people without their parent’s permission

this is backfiring on these sick f****that started the hoax s***. People are now vowing to keep their cartoon characters on FB as a continuing to awareness of this.

Now that I think about it, there were two different reasons for the cartoon character profile picture; one to bring back childhood memories from the 15th to the 30th of November, and the Child Abuse Awareness.
So what’s the deal with that? Maybe it was a hoax. It could have still raised awareness, though, so good.

i love my strawberry shortcake i think it was aneat way to say stop child abuse of course it is not going to stop it it is just a way to say you don’t approve!! if a sick person come up with it that just goes to show how sick ppl are so watch see who your kids are talking to!!!

This is total rubbish!!
I,along with many of my friends have enjoyed the change of profile pictures to the old favourite cartoon characters of our childhoods :-)
To say this would then entise youngsters to be lured into a Pheodophile’s friend’s list is rubbish! I have 2 kids under the age of 8 so they dont have access to any of this anyway but I do have cousin’s olders kids and teenager kids of friends of mine on my page, they have requested me because they KNOW me as a person! If your pc is being used by kids that do want a FB page etc, then measures should be taken to make sure their saftey is 100% certain, and there are MANY ways that can be done and the one, above all the others is DONT ACCEPT FRIEND REQUESTS FROM PEOPLE YOU DONT KNOW! simples! I LOVE my Bagpuss and even had friends putting cartoon characters up as profile pictures BEFORE this was started, so I maywell even keep him on there! :-)
