Child protection agencies and court workers do regularly read the messages on this forum.

If you need to ensure privacy then use a pen name when making posts on this forum and ensure that the content of your post is not specific enough to allow unethical persons to identify you or your family. If any reader is actively involved with an ongoing child protection agency and the matter is before the court, then those readers would be advised to use a pen name when making posts and not their real name. Readers should also not post the real names of other individuals on this forum without the consent and knowledge of those individuals. Although names of users are kept confidential from each other, Court Watch does maintain the list of all users and can identify those who may abuse the terms of use of this forum.
