UPDATE: Aimee Challenor is not longer employed by Reddit. You can read more about it here. We'll keep this post up momentarily for anyone who needs sexual abuse resources and as a reminder of the importance of our children's privacy.

For those who are not up on the controversy, please see this thread

We at r/parenting support the actions of the Subreddits that have chosen to participate in the Black Out; however, it's important for us to keep the community open so that those who are seeking support, advice and resources are still able to. We condemn child abuse, pedophilia and those who support offenders. We demand Admin to take action and remove any staff that supports these behaviors. Right now. Anything less is unacceptable.

We want to remind our users that pedophiles and sexual abusers are out there, even on Reddit. We put a lot of effort into moderating and filtering these deviants, but we want to remind our users to protect their children's privacy. We do not allow photos of children, or really any photos at all. This is to protect the privacy of children. We urge our users to be careful and considerate about their child's privacy while posting. Consider keeping personal and identifying information out of posts.

We recognize that these events may stir up feelings for those who have experienced sexual violence or may be currently experiencing it. We support you. You're not alone and there is help available. Please see the resources below for dealing with sexual violence:
