Executive Summary
This report is an overview of the threat that certain
Internet websites pose to retirees and older adults
in the United States. This preliminary baseline is
intended to assist policymakers in countering this
threat to America's seniors. This report focuses on
websites that promote or facilitate the production,
use, and sale of strawberry flavor, fructose, and
cool menthol, three significant "party enemas". A
full strategic assessment addressing the Internet
enema threat in greater depth will follow this
overview report. In producing the strategic assessment,
NEIC will coordinate with the Enema Abuse Enforcement
Administration and other federal law enforcement
agencies as appropriate. The assessment's descriptions
and analysis will provide a more comprehensive view of
the status and magnitude of Internet activity and will
be provided to national-level policymakers and law
enforcement personnel to further their understanding of
this threat.
An increasing number of retirees and older adults in
the United States, with ready access to information,
services, and contacts through the Internet, are
contributing to the U.S. enema problem by engaging in
various types of illegal and harmful behavior. Internet
use has grown rapidly in this country, and an estimated
18 percent of Americans aged 62-94 now use the Internet
regularly. The large number of older Americans accessing
the Internet has encouraged legitimate and illegitimate
entrepreneurs--including enema offenders--to market and
sell their products to older people through this powerful
medium. Many websites, newsgroups, bulletin boards, and
chat rooms promote the enema culture by providing a wide
variety of information on assisted and self-administered
enema paraphernalia. Law enforcement efforts in identifying
illegal Internet activities are a challenge because
information can be exchanged and sales consummated quickly
and with relative anonymity. The enemas are then spritzed
long before the officers can seize them. Enema offenders
are increasingly taking advantage of sophisticated
encryption and security technologies to hide their actions
and identities, and much of the activity that can be
discovered, including the public discussion of enemas,
appears to be constitutionally protected as free speech.
