No Excuses!
Reading some of the forums and blogs of true crimes I have heard pedophiles go to all kinds of exhaustive lengths to justify their deviant behaviors. Many believe that looking at a sexual image of a child is their right and that it's natural and justifiable. Some argue that child porn and child abuse are two separate things. The arguments they pose can be sickening and nauseating to listen to. In other more simple words its all BULL SH!T.
Is there a connection between child porn and child molestation? According to Victor Cline, emeritus professor of the University of Utah psychology department, 35 percent to 40 percent of people who deal in child pornography will try to act on their fantasies. "These people can get addicted to this, and when they do, it leads to desensitization," said Cline who treats sexual addictions. "After a while, what was shocking and upsetting becomes acceptable," he said. "They escalate and they start searching out stuff that's more rough and bold. Sooner or later, they start to act out."
I don't care about any excuse a pedophile might come up with. The fact is that every time a pornographic or sexually suggestive picture of a child gets traded around, that child gets victimized. Child porn is abuse. It deteriorates a society. It is unhealthy. It is dead wrong in all aspects. And it's getting worse. This monster is growing not because it is becoming more acceptable or because more pedophiles are coming out of the closet (as some of them may say) but because like a diseases it worsensens, infects, spreads and eventually kills.
According to a National Children's Homes report, the number of Internet child pornography images has increased 1500% since 1988.
Approximately 20% of all Internet pornography involves children.
More than 20,000 images of child pornography are posted on the Internet every week (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, 10/8/03).
Demand for pornographic images of babies and toddlers on the Internet is soaring (Prof. Max Taylor, Combating Pedophile Information Networks in Europe, March 2003).
More babies and toddlers are appearing on the net and the abuse is getting worse. It is more torturous and sadistic than it was before. The typical age of children is between six and 12, but the profile is getting younger (Prof. Max Taylor, Combating
Pedophile Information Networks in Europe, March 2003).
Approximately 20 new children appear on the porn sites every month - many kidnapped or sold into sex (Combating Pedophile Information Networks in Europe, March 2003).
Anyone can find child porn on the internet. Conduct the right search, and sites offering this sickness can be plentiful. There is a market for it and if money is involved there will be a way to market it. But with today's technologies and great minds are we saying that it is such a great problem that we cannot find a way to shut down each and every one of those sites?
Please continue to bother your elected officials, getting them to toughen all laws against these creeps.

I was thinking of the self serving drivel, that is used to excuse child porn the other day. I think that I came up with the perfect punishment for the crime.
The child porn enthusiatists should all be gathered together and should be required to attend all football games. They should all be required to stand on a stage during the entire game. Oh, and before they can ascend the stage, they should be required to strip naked, and submit themselves to the public criticism- of them and of their bodies. Maybe then they might be given some idea just how horrific the crime is.
It will only lessen/stop...when those caught viewing receive the same hard sentences that those producing it get. When you look,you contribute.When you contribute,you're guilty.
