Mothers Fight Back Against Gay Pedophile's Web Site

July 30, 2007 — -- Moms fearing for their children's safety are 
teaming up against a man who prowls playgrounds, amusement parks and fairs 
stalking little girls and then brazenly boasts about his exploits on his 
Web site.

Even though Jack McClellan calls himself a pedophile, legal experts say he 
hasn't broken any laws.

"I just think they're cute, a lot cuter than women," McClellan said.

McClellan has operated detailed Web sites rating the best public places to 
watch young children at play and posting photos he's taken at events. He 
even rated locations based on how many little girls, or LGs as he call 
them, are there.

"He is a reviewer, a pedophile reviewing places for other pedophiles to 
go," said child predator safety educator Pattie Fitzgerald, of 
safelyeverafter.com.

One Los Angeles mother accidentally came upon McClellan's Web site and 
realized that he was describing her young son who she had taken to a 
festival.

"Immediately my skin began to crawl," said Jane, who asked that her last 
name not be used. "I thought this man is talking about my child. Who is 
this man? Why is it OK for him to speak about my child?"

But Jane was not alone. Seattle moms were the first to notice McClellan's 
Internet comments after seeing comments like this: "lots of frolicking 
LGs, including several rolling down a steep grassy hill on their side" he 
wrote about children in a public park.

The determined mothers pressured him out of the city.

"I think he needs to stop using children for his own selfish pleasures," 
said one mother.

Now dozens of Los Angeles mothers are teaming up to force him out.

"You should not be able to take a picture of a random child on the street 
and use it on the Internet to promote the abuse and endangerment of 
children," Jane said.

But law enforcement's hand may be tied.

"You can't arrest him for advocating," said UCLA law professor Eugene 
Volokh.

Legal experts said, and police so far have agreed, McClellan has broken no 
laws. He has no criminal record and his postings have been legal.

"[Sites like this are] repugnant as they are probably constitutionally 
protected by the First Amendment," Volokh said.
