Tattle on Nannies, Bad Drivers, and Others
As kids, if someone did something wrong or against the rules, we knew how to get justice: We told on them. But as adults, who are we supposed to run to in tears when someone cuts us off or our HMO screws us over? The police? No, the Internet.
USA Today has compiled a great list of Web sites that let users "tattle" on just about anyone an anything. Nannies who mistreat kids, for example, are liable to get reported up at isawyournanny.blogspot.com. Obnoxious drivers may get snitched on at Platewire.com, which lets users post complaints about other drivers along with their license plate numbers. (A similar site, Irate-Driver.com, even lets you upload a photo of an offending motorist.)
And there's more. Litterbutt.com calls out all the jerks who use Mother Nature as their own personal garbage can, while Caughtya.org documents drivers who illegally park in handicap spots (you know who you are). Lastly, check out RudePeople.com, a catch-all destination for tattling on everyone from office managers to people with smelly feet.
The best part about Internet tattling? No after-school wedgies.

There is wireless broadband internet in the house.Working hours:07.30 to 09.00 and 1520 to 1930 Plus about60-90 minutes of housework a day to fit in with the Nanny's schedule.25-30 hours a week Benefit:I would like you to know that i will be paying you a sum of �1000 pounds weekly for every weeks and a pocket money of �100 pound per week for the buying of some things for yourself and i will also be responsible for some of the funds for your traveling documents.i would like to put my children in your care.My children are just lovers of computer games,not allergic and free to people especially to strangers.I would like to know if you would be care giver of my children,Kindly reply me via my private email below if you are sure to care for them from Monday - Friday.If you are really interested to take good care of my children and below is contact email adress......anthony_smith200017@yahoo.com

that is so ridiculus....no one would read the websites and no one would care.
it's just for people too scared to actually come out and say what they saw...

As a nanny, I can tell you that "tattle on the parents" would be a better website. The irony is that most incidents occurring with the nanny is due to parents failure to properly check the nanny. Often nanny's are overworked (most work 60+ hours per week) and underappreciated. They are also having to deal with children whom parents have spoiled with lack of discipline or boundaries. We should not hold a nanny to higher standards than we do parents. Sadly, parents who are neglectful get "off" where a nanny or babysitter gets prison time for the same offense. Please make sure to report ANY child abuse (by nanny, parent, or any caregiver) but make sure you have your facts correct first.

although i hate litter bugs and bad drivers i would never use a reporting site like this because in time the police and other government agencies will get ahold of the info submitted and use it against innocent people. the nut case who took over iran after the shah was disposed, had a program much like this, i like to call it "narc on your neighbor". this enabled many people to get rid of those they didn't like.not because they were doing anything wrong. one woman turned in her husband because divorce wasn't an option in that culture. there's far too much chance for abuse of the innocent.

Will: Obvioulsy the site isn't ridiculous with all the members frequency. Some people would rather avoid a face to face confrontation yet still have a cathartic mechanism to expel their frustrations, PlateWire offers them just that.

Sounds like "1984" to me.
RobinMay 10th 2007 6:31PM
Well, this is how it starts folks... I don't mind having child abusers listed, but Hitler had people telling on people, then neighbors and then family member, parents, friends, etc.
Don't be so foolish that you don't think that their is an agenda here.... be careful. ...R

It sounds like its part of the "patriot" act. Just keep in mind - big brother is watching you. (1984 is so 1984!)

Michel (Skeeter) L. Wyckoff living in Georgia, formerly of Elgin, South Carolina is a deadbeat dad. He is currently $10,000 plus behind in child support. The only time he pays any is when he is about to be taken to court in Camden, SC. and then he pays just enough to keep his butt out of jail. The system does not pressure deadbeat dads and so they just keep sliding by.

people who snitch suck, ok?

Be careful!! I would have reported this "able bodied" lady for using a handicap spot. No limp, good mobility etc. But then I noticed that "that" wasn't a purse--it was a portable oxygen generator she was carrying. The nasal tube was almost invisible behind her hair. Be careful.
BobBMay 10th 2007 6:09PM
I feel that the pro gang rap music and the "don't snitch" threat message is a real problem. Good people who see bad things happen should be able to report it without fear or retaliation. This site could be that if identies are kept secret.

In response to comments about so called dead beat dads I am origionally from california where exactly every three months some private corporation puts a lien on my bank account each time they do so it costs me $100.00.now in anyones opinion is this fair to me when i have a legally binding court order signed by a judge in sacramento ca.yet everytime i try to provide this corporation with a copy of this court order they say no thank you.I pay over $500.00 a month in support which is taken by welfare to pay back the grant that is paid out to my ex-wife every month because she always has an excuse for not seeking out or having a job.now you tell me again who is the dead beat!

My son pays 300 a month and I think its unfair because his ex got everything,their business ( she makes more than enough to live on,for her and 10 kids let alone just one)She got the business,home,all the furniture,and child support too??? She sold all his tools,air compresser,air tools etc etc Tell me where there is any justice here? She owes me money for the home I loaned money to them to buy,which she sold after the divorce and didn't pay me back the loan. Noone will do a thing about it.

"doc says:

I have an odd feeling, that Doc is on ONE or more of the above mentioned lists...

get a life u morons this is what our country has come to spying on each other get a life u nit wits big brother we don t live in a free country no more and don t blame on the towelheads cause if we live like this then they win
JUDYMay 10th 2007 7:30PM
I wonder why men who are paying child support think that they are paying their ex wives? IT IS CHILD SUPPORT> The guy complaining that his ex isn't working is not paying 500 a month for her this is the amount of money the judge ordered him to pay for the kids. NOT his ex LOL.
I think a site like this is good for people to spout off about injustices immaginary or real without having a confrontation with some one and get hurt. Bad drivers abusive parents or nannies
..let them have the site and let them spout off and keep out of trouble.
MollyMay 10th 2007 6:52PM
I agree with Robin.

Remember when you point the finger at someone there is three pointing back at you so make sure that your backyard is clean before you start pointing the finger.

Big Brother is most definitely here! We should be worried about things that are really important-not policeing each other over parking spots!
