Reply #60: I don't understand the defensiveness on this issue... [View All]

There are millions of child pornography images on the Internet.

Obviously, anyone who is sexually molesting children, taking their pictures, displaying them on the Internet--and possibly profiting--is a very sick person.

Why is it so hard to fathom that sometimes these sick, like-minded people find one another and form groups or "rings"?

In addition--did you read the initial information about this case? One of those involved was a convicted child sex offender who was living with a couple who was all ready under investigation for sexually abusing their own children. I don't see where the disbelief is originating--especially when you have a small cast of pedophiles at the center of the story.

I don't know the merits of this case. I'm not sure how solid the evidence is. However, to dismiss the allegations entirely--based on some highly public cases in which SOME were wrongly accused--is hardly evidence that these crimes didn't happen. There ARE cases of the police questioning children in leading ways. However, do you know how many children NEVER speak of the abuse they sustained during childhood? Most children, who are sexually abused, tell no one.

The millions of child-pornography images that litter the Internet--come from people who lack conscience or morals--so why is it such a stretch to believe that they could be working alone OR together with others?

I don't get the outraged disbelief.
