| NEWS RELEASE Wednesday, November 5, 2003 Child advocacy group calls for amazon.com boycott Lancaster, PA. Citing what they a consider to be "Amazon.com's continued efforts to profit from the pedophile community", Survivors And Victims Empowered (SAVE) today called on "parents, grandparents and every one else who hopes to protect children from sexual predators" to boycott amazon.com. Amazon.com sells books published by the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) a group trying to abolish age of consent laws so that adult pedophiles can prey on young boys. Until a petition campaign was launched by SAVE, Amazon sold the NAMBLA Bulletin, the pedophile group's newsletter.Amazon has also been under fire for carrying Safe Haven publishers' publications. Safe Haven is the sponsor of the so-called "International Boy Love Day" which purports to celebrate adult pedophiles' sexual relationships with young boys. SAVE Executive Director Jim Hughes, who admits to shopping at Amazon.com extensively last Christmas, flatly stated that to continue to do so, "would make me as much an accomplice to the rape of children as the Bishops who looked the other way at what priests were doing." "I cannot buy a CD or book as a gift for a child from a place where doing so could cause the child irreparable harm." "NAMBLA materials are routinely found in child molesters' homes. If you continue to shop at Amazon or the Borders website powered by it, and they continue to sell this filth, you are helping pedophiles rape little boys. It's that simple," Hughes said. "November and December are critical months for online retailers like Amazon.""This is the time to hit them where it hurts." |
