Anyone have any info on the fate of YourBabyCanRead.com? The site has posted this message:

Quote
From all of us at Your Baby Can Read,
thank you for being such great customers.

We are sorry our site is no longer active. If you wish to buy our products, you may find them on Amazon.com.

I haven't talked to Robert Titzer about it. I think he's more closely associated with InfantLearning.com, which I believe is the company with U.S. rights to the program; but that website is completely down (as of this writing).

I do notice that they have what appears to be an active Amazon page.

I do hope this website shutting down has nothing to do with his court case. Which I have not heard anything about. Well lets hope Amazon keeps selling his product.

I tried to contact their customer service phone number a week or two ago to inquire about their Russian versions that were supposed to be coming out, but when I was finally able to find a number, the recording said that customer service is now only available via email. Coincidence? Unlikely.

Not sure if this would have anything to do with it: http://domainskate.com/yourbabycandiscovercom-claim-denied/

Also, I used to see regular comments on the YBCR Facebook page from their staff, but lately it just appears as though no one is responding. They are getting tons of positive feedback though, so I hope everything will be ok. We love all of their products at our house.

I can't express how disappointed I was to just read this on the YBCR facebook page.

Your Baby Can Read
4 hours ago.FROM ALL OF US AT YOUR BABY CAN READ!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOYAL SUPPORT AND BEING SUCH GREAT CUSTOMERS!

For more than 6 years, Your Baby Can Read! has been enjoyed and appreciated by families world-wide as an innovative reading concept for babies and young children.

Regretfully, the cost of fighting recent legal issues has left us with no option but to cease business operations. While we veheme...ntly deny any wrongdoing, and strongly believe in our products, the fight has drained our resources to the point where we can no longer continue operating.

To our thousands of loyal customers who have provided overwhelmingly positive feedback, and particularly to those who took the time to send written and video testimonials about the success stories of their children, we sincerely thank you for being such great champions of our products.

If you have questions regarding an existing order, please contact us at [email protected]. Until August 15, a customer service representative will be available to respond to your emails during business hours.

If you would like to purchase our products, you may be able to find them at www.Amazon.com.

This is really sad news indeed. Sad I had hoped they would triumph against the naysayers and those agencies which are oh-so anti-baby/toddler reading.

To quote Dr. Gentry in a response to a CCFC official to one of his articles:

"Here’s my prediction for the future: a few years from now, the research will prove that these parents are right; that baby/toddlers can read; that baby/toddlers can intuit phonics patterns and decode novel words. I predict that research will prove that there are positive long-term effects but I hope today’s parents won’t wait ten years to see the ten-year report...

...The baby/toddler reading world is eager to learn, and eager to share information. The baby/toddler reading world is eager for research to be conducted. This is important work. We need a kinder, gentler forum for moving forward."

What I find sad is a headhunt to compensate for parents inadequacies. Plopping your kid in front of any devise is not going to make the completely literate. Many programs help to break the ice. But nearly all kids still need instruction.

This is unbelievable! (or rather, extremely sad, unfortunate, heartbreaking, yet not suprising...)
The worst part is he untold numbers of amazing kids/parents that would have benefitted...Soooooo glad I recently purchased extras of all the products in both English and Spanish. Now I will be making sure I have back ups on the computer as well!
I would imagine that Amazon will continue to sell the product that they have ( at most-likely steadily increasing prices as supply dwindles!)
I would imagine that if they have shut down their company, they will not be making further product...and even if they continue to do so for a while, the lawyers gunning for settlements will quickly put an abrupt end to that >Sad

Sooo many successes, and because some parents (and defensive 'experts') don't take the time to use/evaluate a product properly? EL and the myriad of amazing accomplishments that are a daily product of our lives, took not only a huge step backwards, but a belly flop into ignorance and insolent insistence that all is already known about childhood learning!
Oh, so frustrating!

My take: http://larrysanger.org/2012/06/your-baby-can-read-closes-up-shop/

I wonder how this will be reported in the coming days. I cringe to think, actually.

What was the name of the facebook site that was against YBCR.
The people that went against YBCR to protect the children just deprived MANY children of the gift of reading early. I want to send those people a message, "Do me a favor and stop "trying" to protect my children. You've done enough harm..."

Tragic, really. A blow to early learning everywhere. How I wish that there was large group of pro-early learning companies and parents organized to help fund this legal battle and further the movement, to represent the "success stories" and rally with strong numbers like the CFCC. Perhaps it could have ended differently.

And I agree with Dr. Gentry, I hope one day people will look back and see the truth.
