Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

LONDON - A team of international investigators infiltrated an Internet chat room used by pedophiles who streamed live videos of children being raped, rescuing 31 children and identifying more than 700 suspects worldwide.
Undercover officers in Britain, the U.S., Canada and Australia busted up the pedophile ring using surveillance techniques more commonly associated with fighting terrorism and organized crime.
The chat room, which was called "Kids the Light of Our Lives," featured images, including live videos, of children — some only months old — being subjected to horrific sexual abuse, said Jim Gamble, chief executive of Britain's Child Exploitation and Online Protection Center.
"You could go and if you were in the club, arrange a time and a place when online you could view a child being raped and brutalized in real time," he said.
Police analyzed images and videos traded by the chat room's members for the smallest clues that could help them identify, locate and rescue the victims.
More than 15 children were found in Britain, Gamble said, declining to give further details. A Canadian official said authorities there arrested 24 Canadians and rescued seven Canadian children as part of the probe. Four people have been arrested in Australia, including one who was previously convicted of child pornography charges, officials said Tuesday.
Describing it as "a massive leap forward," Gamble said the investigation involved agencies from 35 countries. Investigators made the case public after the sentencing of ringleader Timothy David Martyn Cox on Monday.
Cox, 27, was given an indeterminate jail sentence, meaning he will remain in prison until authorities decide he is no longer a threat to children. One of his accomplices, Gordon Mackintosh, has pleaded guilty to 27 charges of making, possessing and distributing indecent images and videos. He is awaiting sentencing.

Lack of respect!! They lose the ability to recognise that their own desires do NOT come before other people's right to safety, health and happiness.
That's widespread in every area of modern western life (OMG I'm getting old and doing that 'it wasn't like that in my day' thing ) but the logical extension of that selfishness is that they don't see why (or lose the will to see why) they should deny thmeselves their gratification.
There is no such thing as freedom - discuss!

Aborigine child sex abuse 'rife'
Many aboriginal communities suffer from severe poverty
A high-profile inquiry into child sex abuse in remote northern Australia says it found cases in every Aborigine community researchers visited.
The report, commissioned by the Northern Territory government, also found a "disturbing" trend in child-on-child abuse.
Investigators said high levels of alcohol and poverty were to blame.
Australia's Indigenous Affairs Minister Mal Brough described the findings as a "national disgrace".
"It's a disaster and it's something that should never happen in this country," he said.
The Northern Territory's government - which commissioned the inquiry after allegations of similar cases were reported in the media last year - said it would begin implementing some of the report's 97 recommendations.
'Landmark report'
The report's authors said they had found incidents of child sex abuse in each of the 45 communities they visited as part of their inquiry.
One alarming finding was that young children were being exposed to pornography and imitating the sexual behaviour among themselves, they said.
The 316-report report found that children were being abused by both indigenous and non-indigenous adults.
Children as young as five were found to have contracted sexually-transmitted diseases.
Girls were being prostituted for drugs - including for petrol, a substance reported to be commonly sniffed by youths in Aboriginal communities.
Co-author of the report, Pat Anderson, a well-known Aboriginal health specialist, said there was a strong link between the abuse and the alcoholism that is rife in many indigenous communities.
"A river of grog is killing people and destroying our communities," she said.
"Spiritually, socially, psychologically, there is a total breakdown in families where people are drunk most of the time - the children are not safe."
Northern Territory's Chief Minister Clare Martin described the report as a "landmark", and said it would "sadly expose the great pain and unhappiness of many people".
"It is clear that not enough has been done to tackle the abuse of Aboriginal children," she said, adding that the government would begin implementing the report's key areas of action.
The recommendations include improving education services, appointing a children's commissioner, greater co-operation with the police and awareness-raising campaigns on issues such as pornography, alcohol and gambling.

it's their demand to watch this stuff that gives it value, more demand generally = more supply, in any market, so the people who watch it are an integral part of the industry as a whole.

but I still think showing those kinds of images, real or not, acts as a kind of confirmation for SOME people that paedophilia/molesting children is ok, or at least acceptable in some circles, or that it's possible to get away with it...
