Speak up against the abuse of children on the internet!

I recieved this as an email, this is a quick way to help, you can educate yourselves and your friends. You can also let the world know that you do not support the sexual abuse of children online.
Recently there have been some arrests in Canada of people who were abusing children live on the internet, 'made to order abuse' if you will.
This is not because it's a new problem but because the citizens of these countries have spoken up to their law enforcement and courts demanding action.

The innocent victims of Internet child abuse cannot speak for themselves.
But you can.
With your help, we can eradicate this evil trade.
We do not need your money.
We need you to light a candle of support http://www.lightamillioncandles.com.
The more candles we light, the more powerful our voice becomes.
This petition will be used to encourage governments, politicians, financial institutions, payment organisations, Internet service providers, technology companies and law enforcement agencies to eradicate the commercial viability of online child abuse.
They have the power to work together.
You have the power to get them to take action.
Please light your candle at lightamillioncandles.com http://www.lightamillioncandles.com or send an email of support to light@lightamillioncandles.com.
Together, we can destroy the commercial viability of Internet child abuse sites that are destroying the lives of innocent children.
Kindly forward this email to your friends, relatives and work colleagues so that they can light a candle too.

I know I am overprotective but does this seem reasonable?

I am the first to admit that I can be overprotective. There are lots of reasons for this, partly because my parents were and now as an adult I see how well it worked out for me when I see old school mates who were always allowed to go anywhere, do anything, and have now wound up in less then wonderful places with their lives. Also partly because I do volunteer work with groups that address children's safety and exploitation prevention among others, and the other part is simply because I am a paranoid (but educated and aware) spazzatron.
A few weeks ago I saw an old friend with his daughter who is not yet a teenager, she had on a set of fake nails from the salon, not press ons but the kind that stay on for a long time.
Is it because I have a son and am out of touch with what's appropriate with girls? I don't really believe that.
She's just turned 11, so she was probably 10 when she got them put on. Totally not my business so I didn't say much except to ask how old she was (with bug eyes and chin to the floor but that was partially because I thought 'how could this girl be 16 already, my how time flies').
I have to relent in the fact that since I didn't make a point of asking, I don't know the details surrounding the nails aside form her age and the fact that they were VERY long (leading me to suspect that they had been on for some time).
I just can't find a legitimate reason why a child of this age would be allowed to go out to school and in public in general with those on.
Can anyone offer somelogic for this or am I right in thinking these parents either watch too much MTV or not enough?

Haven't we come further then this?

I have a good friend who does a drop in in Surrey BC for street level sex workers.Many, if not all of the girls she sees are homeless, so their sex work is purely for survival not for luxuries such as fancy cars or nice homes (though that would be ok I guess).
On Boxing Day there will be a Christmas dinner for the ladies at the drop in, most of them don't have any family, either because their families abandoned them or they simply have no family to speak of, this would include kids who's families have passed away, were abusive to them, or else they were raised in foster homes.
Anyways, I sent out an email to some of my contacts who I thought might be willing to help out, I want to collect some items to give out so that these ladies will feel like there are people out there who care about them, which of course there are.
Some of the items I requested were cash, blankets and winter coats, feminine hygiene products, shampoos, conditioners, deodorant, make-up, gloves, scarves, nutritional drinks like Boost, socks, hair ties and kid's gift certificates so that the girls who have kids can send them or pass them on if they still see them.

I emailed it to a lot of people, mostly to positive or no comments, but here is one I recieved that doesn't fall into either of those categories:

sorry unfortunatly i will not be helping you out with this request. i would much rather donate my money or items to others in need like our local food banks or battered women and children shelters. i find it hard to sympathise with street level hookers and drug addicts who cant get there shit together to keep their children and to get off the drugs and off the streets. i am sorry and good luck with your fundraising

I wonder why she replied at all. Just to cast some stones? I am trying to refrain from e mailing or calling her to give her a piece of my mind so I thought I would put this out here and get it off my chest.
What would your reply email have said to my request for help? If you didn't want to help would you have replyed at all or just kept it to yourself?
