   July 30, 2007 — -- Moms fearing for their children's safety are   
   teaming up against a man who prowls playgrounds, amusement parks and fairs   
   stalking little girls and then brazenly boasts about his exploits on his   
   Web site.   
      
   Even though Jack McClellan calls himself a pedophile, legal experts say he   
   hasn't broken any laws.   
      
   "I just think they're cute, a lot cuter than women," McClellan said.   
      
   McClellan has operated detailed Web sites rating the best public places to   
   watch young children at play and posting photos he's taken at events. He   
   even rated locations based on how many little girls, or LGs as he call   
   them, are there.   
      
   "He is a reviewer, a pedophile reviewing places for other pedophiles to   
   go," said child predator safety educator Pattie Fitzgerald, of   
   safelyeverafter.com.   
      
   One Los Angeles mother accidentally came upon McClellan's Web site and   
   realized that he was describing her young son who she had taken to a   
   festival.   
      
   "Immediately my skin began to crawl," said Jane, who asked that her last   
   name not be used. "I thought this man is talking about my child. Who is   
   this man? Why is it OK for him to speak about my child?"   
      
   But Jane was not alone. Seattle moms were the first to notice McClellan's   
   Internet comments after seeing comments like this: "lots of frolicking   
   LGs, including several rolling down a steep grassy hill on their side" he   
   wrote about children in a public park.   
      
   The determined mothers pressured him out of the city.   
      
   "I think he needs to stop using children for his own selfish pleasures,"   
   said one mother.   
      
   Now dozens of Los Angeles mothers are teaming up to force him out.   
      
   "You should not be able to take a picture of a random child on the street   
   and use it on the Internet to promote the abuse and endangerment of   
   children," Jane said.   
      
   But law enforcement's hand may be tied.   
      
   "You can't arrest him for advocating," said UCLA law professor Eugene   
   Volokh.   
      
   Legal experts said, and police so far have agreed, McClellan has broken no   
   laws. He has no criminal record and his postings have been legal.   
      
   "[Sites like this are] repugnant as they are probably constitutionally   
   protected by the First Amendment," Volokh said.
