Our alerts do not get ignored like most of the other social network message pollution.

Why do you ask for my email address?

We ask for an email address to use as your account name. Most people have no trouble remembering their email address and it allows us to take advantage of using social media log in interfaces. The use of preexisting social media log in interfaces notifies your preexisting contacts of your registration. We do this so it helps notify people of our network in hopes of growing it. The larger our network is the more Child Guardians we have watching out for our children.
