Sort of wondering if they can bring legal action for someone posing as an interested party who actually isn't, though =/

Ha! Hardly. The chances of them being able to take anything resembling legal action are exactly zero. In some states they could QQ about taping, but Maine is a one-party consent state for recording conversations. BTW, assume you're not the first person to do something like this (because you aren't, by far) and don't assume no one else is doing it either. In fact they might be getting so many calls if this Reddit thing's blown up enough, that almost *all* of the calls they're getting are fake or harassing. If you're paranoid, call from a pay phone and proxy your upload.

Hidden cam? On a tour of the school, constantly searching everywhere?

No workie. They won't show you the shit that really goes on. Unless you're actually leaving transmitting bugs behind, don't expect to see anything on any "tour".

Again, I can't stress this enough: The odds are very low that you'll get the person on the other end to say anything incriminating unless you get very lucky.

Excellent! I'd suggest prepating some answers if they ask you questions, stuff like "What does your teen do?" or "What's your annual income?" (remember, they charge 50,000$ a year per child, and seem to target 14-16 year olds). Recording it might help as well, especially in getting the media's attention.

I've been in two classes for deaf students and forced to shepherd a number of autistic/retarded kids.  I'm pretty sure I can think up some noxious behaviors.


The thing is that if whatever we do works, we'd better be ironclad in terms of legal stuff.

Would the "Let us contact you" thing still work?  Hmm... it might make them more inclined to talk to someone if they think they can squeeze some $50,000 fees out of you.

Get a disposable phone number and use fake dox, and they might even check the dox.

Prepaid cells are nice.

But don't work so well if you plan to have them call you. Which is why just calling them is better.

Okay, I know this was half of the thread ago, but

WHAT THE FUCK NEONIVEK? ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY FUCKING EVIL?

Okay! Let's totally fuck over people's lives, emotions, everything about them just because it's less expensive! Oh, AND JUST TO PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE

The Taliban advocates killing people of all other religions. Even though everyone else ADVOCATES against it, they do so hey uh it must be the right thing to do?[/sarcasm]

Good god, I am ab-so-fucking-lutely infuriated at you right now. AND ITS CALLED BRAINWASHING.

Goddamn.

Goddamn, go to therapy or something, people like you are the ones who grow up to be mass-murders, rapists, and so on.

That topic has already been covered.  Your statements are an immense overreaction.  I strongly suggest that you amend your post.

I agree with Vector. I think everybody is now against Neonivek. I get angry as well but I keep it in Goddamnit.

He probably just read the thread and was filled with rage. Give him some slack.
