What is a Freeople?? ....
A Freeople - it's kind of a long, evolving story. But I'll give it a shot. Last year, a whole bunch of us were banned from another site for what seemed to be pretty arbitrary reasons, like committing the sin of addressing a post to another poster. Many of us found our way over here, and a "reunion" thread was begun. After a few threads, the name became "You People" because of the way we had been addressed by the staff on the other site. The thread name evolved to Freeoples, for People who Freep. I think. Anyway, it has been evolving, we discuss politics, post links to stories that are pushing our buttons, have heated discussions on issues of the day, have friendly discussions, joke around, etc. I hope you drop by now and then and join us
Thanks .38sw

Fox News is reporting they have a suspect in jail relating to the Utah Girl

[sweetliberty]

You were supposed to wait till Nully wasn't around!

[sweetliberty]

Thanks Mo. I just changed the channel to watch it.

[ValerieUSA]

Oh, I'll go watch.

[ValerieUSA]

Wow... multiple suspects. This is sounding really sick, like some kind of slavery ring. That poor child.

[Mo1]

Maybe Nully is still posting on the other thread .. BWAHAHAHA

[null and void]

Close enough, A-hole Hell dumped me 3 times...

[Mo1]

I have to admit .. this is the oddest case I have ever seen

But something tell me she is still alive ..

I hope I am right

[sweetliberty]

I hope so too Mo. I am so tired of hearing of the awful fate that is befalling so many of our children.

[Mo1]

There sure have been a lot of sad stories about kids these days ..

[sweetliberty]

Well, Mo tried to slip away before you caught wise.

[sweetliberty]

Way too many with far too few advocates.

Child porn is not a victimless crime, and it isn't a harmless hobby for collectors. Where do those pictures come from?

Seattle Times - Tacoma man tortured, raped child, say prosecutors
TACOMA — A 24-year-old Tacoma man charged with child pornography also raped, molested and tortured a 5-year-old boy he baby-sat, Pierce County prosecutors say. And they say his list of victims may not end there.
Neil Grenning was charged in March with first-degree child rape and in April with 20 felony counts of possessing child porn. On Thursday, prosecutors added another 42 counts: 16 counts of child rape, 22 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, three counts of child molestation and one count of second-degree assault of a child with sexual motivation. The new child-rape charges superseded the original one filed in March.
Prosecutors say the bulk of the evidence against Grenning consists of tens of thousands of images found on his computer.
Grenning, a waiter and photographer who graduated from Pacific Lutheran University, was arrested after the boy's mother reported that Grenning had taken nude photos of him.
He pleaded not guilty to the new charges Thursday and is being held at the county jail in lieu of $5 million cash bail. He has no criminal record.

I never said it was a victimless crime.

[ValerieUSA]

I think that the fate of Danielle van Damm was videotaped or photographed for porn consumers, and I think that Elizabeth Smart's abductor(s) had similar plans. I wouldn't be surprised if someday child porn featuring pictures of Jon-Benet Ramsey showed up.

[ValerieUSA]

I know you didn't -- but I see some people on FR poo-poo the notion that porn is dangerous. Like they say Westerfield can't be guilty because he's never committed a crime before, and the child porn on his computer doesn't mean anything regarding Danielle's murder. I had just posted that on a thread about that case and copy/pasted it here because I think it might apply to Elizabeth Smart's abduction, too.

[sweetliberty]

Well, I certainly don't think that all perverts that are into child porn go on to abduct and murder children, but there are certainly plenty who do and it needs to be taken seriously.

[sweetliberty]

And then of course there are the children that are used to produce the porn in the first place....what are they if not victims? Sometimes I just can't follow peoples' rationale.

[operation clinton cleanup]

can we steer away from child porn and discuss adult porn?
