SLC Daycare informed appropriate investigative journalist
0 2015-02-01 by Usernamemeh
I called the Salt Lake City Tribune to let them know that Reddit was investigating a potential sex trafficking/terrorist organization/etc at a daycare. Maybe they can assist you on how to appropriately investigate and what the journalist rules are and help you. Unless of course they to have been paid off or are in on it. s/

Why on earth would you do that?
There's literally no evidence whatsoever to suggest sex trafficking, terrorism or other malicious activities happening there.

HAHAHA! "I'd like to report a case I'm working on. This building appears to be either an underage sex trafficking dungeon, the secret location of an operational terrorist cell, or a stash house for smuggling drugs and weapons, oh yea it also might just be an old daycare center"
Do you people realize how ridiculous you sound?

Well if anything it will protect the daycare from people stalking the place and give them a chance to add extra staff if needed to deal with curious people
2 Rockran 2015-02-01
So because of Reddit, the daycare would then need to spend money on extra staff to protect itself?
0 Usernamemeh 2015-02-01
More to keep an eye on the kids and deal with phone calls or other inquires. And it might not mean hiring more but structuring people to come in at different times or people having breaks at different times or not taking the day off. Yes because of people on Reddit blowing things out of proportion and going onto the property taking pics and looking under tarps. That is creepy to deal with when you have to watch children

How exactly will a newspaper article give them a chance to hire people that they would not have otherwise had? And how will it protect the day care from stalkers?

She is going to talk to the Daycare but won't look like a creepster when she does.
Edit: word
1 JamesColesPardon 2015-02-01
Yep. Something interesting for sure but nobody here had any significant evidence to back up any if these silly claims.
3/10 OP
-2 Usernamemeh 2015-02-01
If you read through my history you would see I didn't find anything interesting about the daycare except that there were people wanting to stalk a daycare with little evidence. Yet people insist on pushing the idea in case there could be child abuse and what if nothing is done. I realize how stupid it is
3 JamesColesPardon 2015-02-01
The only thing that really interested me was the corporation/shipping stuff about the weight of the containers.
But I agree for the rest.

The multi site simultaneous censorship didn't strike you as unreasonably suspicious?
2 JamesColesPardon 2015-02-01
Nope. It's extremely fishy.

nice try daycare owner.
-8 Usernamemeh 2015-02-01
I didn't say there was evidence, I said there are people who are investigating a suspicious daycare thinking it could be a sex trafficking site or other, to the point that they want to stake the place out
-1 Terex80 2015-02-01
Then why didn't you just say it was being investigated by us? Then you would maybe have been able to help instead of baseless accusations
-1 Usernamemeh 2015-02-01
Help? Help who?
-1 Terex80 2015-02-01
Help us investigate. You should have just said we think there is something wrong with that place
-2 Usernamemeh 2015-02-01
I did , I said there are people on reddit who think the daycare is suspicious and are investigating it and said maybe they can help. In a Appropriate manner.
I don't know enough about the place for me personally to be suspicious or think anything is going on. But if there is this big of a concern it should be directed to the right people and I don't want to bother the police with it
0 Terex80 2015-02-01
That isn't what you said you said in your OP. Still I would like to know if you get a reply
-4 Usernamemeh 2015-02-01
It's a Sunday morning and left a message so not sure when I would hear back but can follow up.
Edit; and what I said it the title is the same things. People on reddit are concerned about a daycare please look into or help them properly investigate it.
0 Terex80 2015-02-01
Fair enough look forward to your follow up. What you said now is different to your post
6 beastlol 2015-02-01
Holy fucking facepalm.
3 scaredshtlessintx 2015-02-01
here's a thought...no matter if this is all stupid and just our tinhats ringing, or if there's actually something to this...etc etc....imo....if there's possibly 1 child being hurt in any way physically or mentally in relation to anything from the infamous "SLC scandal"..it's worth looking into no matter how dumb it my seem.
5 subliminal727 2015-02-01
Don't you people realize you are the ones putting children in danger?
1 scaredshtlessintx 2015-02-01
you're right...all those kids on the playground, or going to and from the daycare each the day..you know...the one's the neighbors haven't seen in years, those kids could be in danger, from either the crazy concerned internet people or the psycho neighbors who started this whole thing to begin with...I guess the consolation is at least they have plenty of cheap plastic toys and soccerballs to play with.
6 subliminal727 2015-02-01
You mean the children that were photographed and posted on this very sub?
0 urban__sombrero 2015-02-01
Likely a false flag
0 scaredshtlessintx 2015-02-01
sorry...you're right...I guess it is the stupid conspiracy theorist putting those poor kids in danger...appreciate the responses
1 Usernamemeh 2015-02-01
That's why I called someone who could do a better job of discerning whether it is a farce or something more. And they can have access to everything people have already looked into through Reddit and come up with a better plan than just talking on the Internet.
Edit: or taking pictures of the inside.
-1 scaredshtlessintx 2015-02-01
well....good move or not...was going that direction anyways....imo..its better to be wrong than to be oblivious....if there are children being hurt in anyway...the ends justify the means.....I think most come to this sub cause were tired of having our heads in the sand, we question...and this story is full of em...personally...I trust this sub to do a better investigation than the actual authorities would.

Businesses want people to take interest in them. That is their goal. Just because a bunch of commenters used the word "harassment," people like you jump on board.
-2 Usernamemeh 2015-02-01
Well maybe that business deserves interest as it looks run down. Maybe we can start a donation for them to help upgrade the outside.
1 friedjumboshrimp 2015-02-01
Is there really anymore MSM "investigative journalists"? Seems lime media these days are mouthpieces for entertainment news and social propaganda.
1 scaredshtlessintx 2015-02-01
hear anything in response from the Tribune?
1 Usernamemeh 2015-02-01
No, but I actually didn't leave a number or ask for a follow up. I'm sure if anything shady is going on at a daycare a journalist would feel obligated to uncover it to protect the kids.
1 miszivy 2015-02-01
Okay first off, there are about a billion day cares in Salt Lake alone, which one are you guys referring to??
-1 Thisguyisone 2015-02-01
Did you mention you weren't actually investigating, but making up crazy theories and harassing the daycare while taking trespassing and taking pictures?
1 Usernamemeh 2015-02-01
Redditor for 2 days just to comment on this daycare saga? Is it that interesting you had to make another account?
-1 Usernamemeh 2015-02-01
If you look through my history on the SLC posts you will see I was warning people of about the legalities and implications on stalking a daycare. I did tell them of that people were probably just trolling r/conspiracy into thinking that there was some shady business going on. Either way it is a daycare and alerting someone for the safety of kids is the right choice to make. Instead of sitting here watching something escalate and make stupid comments I decided to do something.
