The Toronto program includes a program of collaberation with police departments around the world to identify the children in the pictures and videos and thereby to find the offenders.

The word "porn" has been greatly over-used such that it has acquired excess meaning.

In this case the excess meaning includes the sexual abuse of children and babies, including torture.

At common law anyone who aids and abets a crime is every bit as culpable as the principle offender and the common law prescribes that the punishment be the same. This seems to be a point that the courts continue to ignore.

We should be calling these acts child exploitation, perhaps child torture, and thereby emphasize the gravity of the offense.

I was talking with my wife the other night about these arrests. She mentioned how hard it must be for the police officers to have to watch this type of thing. Necessary, because of their job and the investigation, but it must be extremely hard on the person doing the investigation.

Personally I think that whenever we discover a pedophile we should offer him the option of voluntary castration, (and prison time too of course if crimes have been committed). My hunch is that there are probably more than a few of them that would want it. I know that if I was sexually oriented towards children that I would rather live as a celibate eunuch than as an evil predator.

On Friday, Edmonton's Carl Treleaven, who pleaded guilty to helping run the chat rooms at the centre of this worldwide child-sex-video ring, was sentenced to just three and a half years in jail -- even though the judge called him a "danger to society" and the volume and depravity of the images he traded "unprecedented."

Pathetic. Yet this was the toughest sentence ever imposed in Canada for distributing child porn! One Edmonton cop called it a step forward.

Treleaven, a self-described child porn "addict," will be free again in a matter of months. Some step forward.

If we're so good at catching these vermin, why are we so bad at putting them away?

I hate to sound so cynical however I know I do. Can Canadian courts let it be know to the general prison population that these men (who are in for only months) are child pronorgophers? That their youngest victim was only 18 months old? That their oldest victim was 8 years old?

I think, if these facts where know to the general population of the prison where these "men" are being housed, the fact that they are in prison for only a short while will become irrelevant, because they will be dead.

Child abuse is not even illegal in most of the world..
And if it is illegal its tacitically illegal (winked at)...

Little wonder no records are kept..
