There's a lot of gullible/desperate people out there.

I have to say... I went to look at the site and got caught up playing with
"splotchy"
The text to speech things are nifty and my daughter (9) would sit and type
all sorts of things into the text box.
So I can see the sites popularity.

Yep, kids absolutely love splotchy. You would not believe what they
tell him. Both good and bad. When I read things like "hi splotchy, I
am back again, my dad is drunk again", Ifeel very sorry that Splotchy
is actually very stupid. I am going to rewrite it in perl.

OK, first reaction "OMG, that is so sad." second reaction "wow, Splotchy
might actually be able to help young people. on the one hand, it would be
way better to have kids in trouble reach out to human sources of help,
maybe Splotchy could steer them in these directions. of some concearn is
the need for confidentiality, if Splotchy calls child protective services
on behalf of a user, that would be BAD. Splotchy has no way of knowing if
the kid is being truthful or simply drammatic. if Splotchy "knew" of
various help or crisis intervention services, he could recommend these.
it's just fascinating that the kids trust Splotchy and open up to him as a
peer. that is just amazing, fantastic, awesome.

BTW, i can't hear Splotchy. how can i troubleshoot?

I am very tired today, so I cannot troubleshoot him... But yes, how
kids open up to him is amazing. I will try to rewrite it in perl.
