Our deepest thanks to Sandra Brown, MA for her support!
Dear Clearblogs: We hope that you understand the nature of Public Psychopathy Education and the protection it offers to victims, especially women.
The more severe a pathological mental condition is, the more likely it is to NOT be recognized by others.
This is the gap in education that exists about psychopathy.
Additionally, the information that is lacking is how these people, hunt, lure, prey, and then react once caught. There are now a small group of organizations that are involved in Public Psychopathy Education which is a public service. These organizations have use the amazing power and breadth of the internet to provide public service safety. Most victims find out services online as well.
The Exposer and Cyberpaths are just two examples of organizations involved in protection and education.
People die every year at the hands of psychopathic predators who 'shop' for their victims on line. Many of us are in the profession of prevention -- before we must read about these people in the news -- Laci, Stacey and Nicole.
Please honor the organizations like THE EXPOSER that are involved in Public Psychopathy Education and recognize them for the safety they provide for people online. Allow them to give out the life-saving information that will help save all of us.
Sincerely, Sandra L. Brown, M.A.

These sites are playing an important role in public psychopathy education. I never fully understood what had happened to me until I came across Cyberpaths on a web hit. It is because of sites like this that I am now *finally* learning how to break out of the cycle of victimization. Keep up the good work.
Sites such as this and EOPC are crucial to victims of Cyberpaths. I remember vividly the day I typed "suspect predator" into google and found them. It was the first time I was confronted with the full extenet of the evil I'd been involved with. One thing's for sure, I would'nt be where I am today had I not found the sites in question. I'm healing because of the hard work and dedication of the staff who run these sites. It's a hard slog, but I'm getting there.
The Internet is crawling with Narcissistic Cyberpaths who's sole aim is to use and abuse. They need to be flushed out to protect vulnerable members of the public from sometimes irreparable damage.
A great note from Sandra Brown. She got it right on, as usual.....

If it wasn't for sites like EPOC and the Exposer I still would be reeling from the aftermath of being the victim of one of these players. Knowing there are professional people out there whose sole aim is to expose these evil people and endeavour to educate people to understand how they work is a life savour. Literally. Let them do their work, it's imperative.
This letter is in reference to the exposer site. I understand that it is back up, however, I wanted to comment on the issue at hand.
If you have never been the victim of one of these predators it is very difficult to understand the havoc they can wreak in someones life. Fear, frustration, and confusion are only the beginning. The only way we have to fight back and protect and support other victims and try to prevent future occurrences is through sites like the exposer and EOPC. So, when these sites are suspended or taken down, the victim is defeated by their abuser yet again.
Please consider this when making the decision to suspend or shut down a site in the future. This information could very well save some ones life and at the very least prevent emotional damage that could take years to correct, if ever.
We are working to expose cyberpaths & internet predators who prey on other adults via dating sites, chat rooms, instant messaging for sex, money or just mental & emotional kicks. Make the 'net safer for all! LET US TELL YOUR STORY: exposer@37.com
