If there’s any research to be done, it’s to collect the names, agencies, internet sights, and other methods of distribution of the people involved.
The research does not require the collecting of child porn.
The lay person’s only function to put an end to this stuff, is to notify the FBI with the information that he/she has collected.
I have done this myself when I accidently stumbled across a sight with young children on it. I even felt like a pervert notifying the FBI of what I found. “Are they going to think this is something I look for?” Are they going to wonder, “How did he run into that?”
I seriously thought long and hard before e-mailing their tip line. In the end I thought it important to stop the exploitation of children by that sight.
I made a typo in my banks’s web sight address....Got a sight in Asia and spent an hour trying to get off of the sight. Actually had to buy a new computer with more powerful software to get rid of all the spam etc.....
WIsh I’d known who to contact...
Will you post a link for future reference?
