This Is Not a Good Sign

About a month ago, I wrote a post about a school principal who ordered a strip-search of a 13-year-old girl accused of possessing prescription-strength ibuprofen. I thought it was outrageous, and I made the point that if any other adults had asked for a look at the girl’s private parts they would have been rightly arrested for some sort of sex offense. To emphasize this angle, I titled the piece “It’s Okay to Look at Naked 13-Year Old Girls If They Have a Headache.”

I was a little worried that writing about naked girls would attract some funny kinds of attention to the site, but I didn’t give it much thought.

Just now, I was checking my search keyword statistics at Google Analytics, and found that these are the top seven searches leading to my blog:

More than 98% of them were new visitors. Does that mean that 650 people found their way to my site looking for naked 13-year-old girls? That’s just awful.

I did a Google search for “naked 13 year old girls”, and it turns out Windypundit is the 7th hit. Given such a high score, I guess I should say “Welcome” to all the representatives of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies who’ve taken the time to drop by. Keep up the good work!

Most of the other hits looked like stories about crimes against children (as was my own post). A few of them looked a little suspicious. I didn’t dare click the links to find out, of course, because that could lead me places I don’t want to go. I don’t recommend you try it either.

(I’ve heard that activists opposing child sexual exploitation sometimes get in trouble when they wonder how easy it is to find child porn on the web and decide to investigate it themselves without thinking through the implications: If they find child porn, they are guilty of possessing child porn. The first site they find will almost certainly be a law enforcement trap, and that will get them arrested.)

I was nervous just having done the search, and I closed the window as soon as I could.

Damn, this just creeps me out.
