I received the following comment on my post about Jim Buckmaster saying that craigslist is vigilant in screening its adult services ads. I’m going to let it stand on its own without any commentary from yours truly. It was posted by Cynthia Caron. The comment explains who she is.

As the President and Founder of the Non-Profit organization that is working with the family of Megan Waterman, I have no choice but to make the following comments.

In Mr. Buckmaster’s own words he stated “we will continue to work tirelessly, in tandem with law enforcement and key nonprofits, to ensure that any victims receive the assistance they desperately need and deserve, and that those responsible are imprisoned.”, So I ask… why has Mr. Buckmaster not responded to any of our requests to offer a reward for the safe return of Ms. Waterman?

If Craigslist is striving to keep a “clean site” and they’ve been scrutinizing the ads…tell me how Megan Waterman’s escort “services” slipped past Mr. Buckmaster’s radar?

Explain, Mr. Buckmaster, how a young single mother of 22 years of age, who worked two jobs to raise her toddler daughter, was able to become accessible from the State of Maine to “johns” in the State of NY had it not been taught to her and encouraged by her “boyfriend” , of only 11 months, via Craigslist?

On June 06, 2010 at 1:30 am Megan left the hotel in Hauppauge, NY alone and has met a terrible fate… whether it be she was abducted and trafficked or murdered by those who utilize Craigslist to catch their prey. Were not these horrid crimes learned enough from the actions of Phillip Markoff?

How can Craigslist completely ignore the fact that the family has asked repeatedly for them to step up and HALT all Craigslist personal services and to take responsibility in their share of the missing status of Megan Waterman by offering a reward for her safe return? If they REALLY cared…they would.

If a personal service was legitimate, those who run their services would have websites, advertisements and other means of marketing as any other reputable business. Perhaps the IRS needs to become involved in researching those who are posting on Craigslist? All I can say is…if Ebay can keep those from selling personal services, there is no reason that Craigslist cannot do the same. I am in agreement that it does come down to the loss of money. Hence, that means that Craigslist IS indeed contributing to sex for profit by enabling a venue to exist that contributes and enables illegal prostitution.
