I own a teen help community forum and today someone from the FBI called my cell (my cell number in the WHOIS) and asked about my website and the purpose. I told him it was a website for teens to discuss problems, issues they face, and general discussions.
There are some teens who post that they've been abused and post for help on how to deal with it. This person asked about that and said he wanted to know who has access to IP addresses on the site and wants information about them to track the people down saying theyre being abused to help them. And said that the admins have server access and he was talking about subpenas for them to get the required information and assured me that I wasn't in any kind of trouble.
I don't him that I had to call him back because I was overwhelmed at what he told me and he said he was overseas in london. so hes gonna call me back tomo.
I honestly dont know what to do. I'm 17 years old and 18 next month. Once my parents get home I'm going to tell them but I just wanted to know what my legal rights are in my position and what I can expect to possibly happen.and if i'm required to do anything
