Here is an article about he concern over "pro" sites. The death of a girl last October seemed to kick up some stress over the sites..

The daily mail literally makes me seethe with anger. They love to overexaggerate and attack things in my opinion. So it wouldn't surprise me if they overplayed the girls use of sites being a link to her suicide. I see the intention is probably meant to be good, but with sites like RYL being blocked, that are a source of help and hope to so many young people, I think it probably will cause more bad than good.

Without encouraging or anything like that I personally think pro sites are harder to find nowadays than they used to be anyway.

Yep.
