Someone Stop Claude
Tue, 8 Feb 2005, 07:42 pmI reckon this has gone far enough. If someone doesn't put a stop to this Claude McNamara then i will notify the authorities. It seems that every time a young girl asks for work, he's there. As a perfect example: there is a post from a young girl 13 wanting a job in acting/modeling. The only person to reply is none other than Claude and he states and i quote "I need someone your age to model a product for me.
If you are interested E-mail me with enquiries and a photo at Claude_McNamara@hotmail.com
I hope to meet you soon and make your drem come tru!
Claude"
Now this coming from the guy who was just looking for young 13-17 year old girls to act in his motion picture with the chance of being noticed by hollywood. Get help Claude and get off this site.

As Grant mentioned, it IS strangely coincidental that Claude and 'Apologetic' both have the same email suffixes. Surely Mr Steve Johnson would have some kind of email suffix referring to 'foxstudios.com.au' or something. I admit that it is very presumptious of me but still, a logical conclusion that needs to be considered.
This is the ITA website peoples. Independent Theatre Association. Its a website for AMATEUR/COMMUNITY/INDEPENDENT THEATRE. If our own professional theatre companies in Perth don't use this website to cast their shows....why on earth would some idiot called CLAUDE McNAMARA from the CZECH REPUBLIC be hired by a MAJOR production studio like FOX STUDIOS cast on this website!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Lets be realistic here. The ITA website will never be a primary choice for casting agents anywhere. SHOWCAST and AT2 are two perfectly good resources for casting agents and there are plenty of 13-17yos on there who are also all attached to agents. In no way would a casting agent be required to go on a community theatre website to find young children. It wouldn't be ethical in my opinion.
This is obviously a joke by someone who has been lurking on this website. Fine, ok, its a joke - haha nice one. Whats disturbing is that this person is targeting young girls. Now it raises the question, is this person just joking or is it something more sinister? We'll never know and thats what scary on the internet.
Grant, I've read all the posts about moderation and free speech and I completely understand everyone's and your views on the matter. I have no doubt that you will assist the authorities if they investigate but lets be realistic....when do the authorities usually come in? WHEN ITS TOO LATE.
Do you want on your conscience, the possibilty that a criminal act may have resulted from the use of this website?
I don't have a solution but perhaps there are measures that we can take to prevent 'opportunistic' predators. Maybe compulsory registering of email accounts before posting? It stops newbies posting willy nilly.
Claude McNamara may very well be real and his motives well-intended but I think the nature of his postings have exposed a potentially sinister opportunity for 'real' predators to prey on our youngsters.
Crispy.
