Glenn Hagele's Eye-Opening Experience

Glenn Hagele is the founder of USAEyes.org, a nonprofit organization which ranks lasik and similar opthalmology professionals so that the general public has one additional source of information before making decisions about eye surgery. He lives in California.

Lauranell "Nell" Burch resides in Durham, North Carolina, where she maintains a website full of complaints on Lasik procedures and even though Hagele never met, treated, or advised her on eye surgery, Burch has 'outed' him on her website by publishing his address, signature, social security number, and banking information.

Hagele says he has been cyber-assassinated, and describes Burch's actions as an "internet hit job". When he asked authorities for help in removing his personal information from Burch's website, he hit a brick wall. Hagele feels legislation hasn't caught up with the warp speed of internet progression.

Mr. Hagele, not only has legislation caught up, they mooned you as they sped past.

For the past two years www.FindMyID.com and Texan David Bloys' News For Public Officials have warned every public official in America who has an email, phone number, or physical address. Not only has our advice gone unheeded, it's most often unappreciated. Databanking is big business in America; protecting private citizens is not.

Hagele plans to speak to legislators and publicly to bring attention to his plight and warn of the danger to others. We wish him all the best and hope that his message reaches Lauranell Burch, whose home address, bank, and signature are all available on the Durham County, NC, Register of Deeds website.
