I moved it into the parking lot section, since a couple of things concern me about it. I’m doing a little digging into the author and will provide more info here or move it back to the intro section when I am done. “one voice” is Kathleen Shepherd. She was the primary contact for the online “security team” of Occupy Las Vegas in 2011. In that organization, she is known as “incorrigible”.
Her email address is:
svecmom@gmail.com I can’t find any Kathleen Shepherd in NV who lives in an area that matches her description, although she wouldn’t have to live anywhere near Las Vegas to be a leader in the Occupy Las Vegas group.
If anyone knows how to do a little deeper digging? It’s not the severity of the situation she describes that is setting off my alarms but the way she worded a couple of details in it.
I read through the post. It was long winded. She talks like a real Mormon, so I don’t think it’s a made up troll. There didn’t seem to be rants about history or theology problems, so not a trolling anti-Mormon per se. Sounds to me like a concerned mom. I don’t think our forum can help her. Her issue is a local social conflict. I’m not saying it isn’t a real problem with potentially serious consequences (safety concerns) … but it doesn’t sound like she is doubting her faith, just doubting the safety of her son.
Yeah, Brian, I also have that concern. There are a couple of phrasing things that are non-standard, but I lean to believing her story. I just don’t know what to do with the intro.
Do you want to reach out to her privately and see if you think we should approve her post?
I think you should approve the post and let the community try to help her. Sometimes, people just need a little validation and love to help them have the confidence to solve their own problems as best they can. She probably feels very isolated, and might not have anyone around she can talk to. That’s what most people need — just to know someone has listened to them. If it’s a problem, you can always remove or lock it.
That’s just my opinion though. I know I used to lean more towards letting the drama happen and play out. But I understand your reservations too.
Done.
