How do I report him? I have never done it before, I see how you report an answer, but how do I specifically report him?

Answer 1

And what good do you think that'll do? This site doesn't even send you a personal response when you email it in protest of the removal of a question. All you get is an automated response in return. Don't waste your time and effort. You'll get nowhere...

Answer 2

I did not read the link that you have posted in your question, but it doesn't really matter.  If you think that you have identified a pedophile that is a predator.  If you feel this is someone who is potentially going to put his problems into actions then you should tell the police or ask the police if there is a state or federal agency that handles these matters.

Answer 3

Woah that's a really strong accusation to make. Did you ever think maybe it's a bored teenager? I mean, he made some inappropriate remarks but I wouldn't go calling in the swat team just yet. Report his answers. Yahoo will probably delete him and then he'll come back tommorrow, make a new account and give some more inappropriate answers to get a rise out of people like you... He's trolling you. And the internet is never 100% safe.

Answer 4

you can only report his answers, not seriously get him busted for being a "pedophile" online.

click on the report button.

after his questions get reported many times, his account will be deleted and then he will probably proceed to make a new one. There is not much you can really do.
