i of course think exploiting children, or watching such exploitation, is despicable. no doubt about that. and of course i think kids and their families have a right to feel safe wherever they live and play.

my only concern is that these people have just been charged. so many people get wrongfully charged in canada, or evidence against them turned out to be fabricated or not true, or the cops lied, that we shouldn't assume these people are guilty. lots of people get charged with stuff that they are later found innocent of.

don't get freaked out about my words! i know child porn is horrible. i'm just saying, the cops didn't release any of their reasons for the charge or any evidence against them. they may very well be completely guilty, but that hasn't been proven yet.

if you look at the toronto 18, the 18 men suspected of a 'terrorist' conspiracy, almost half of them have been let off of their charges. and it turns out that they were all set up by spies paid by the rcmp to radicalize them and constantly tell them they had access to explosives and all that. heck, one of the paid spies even took them to a 'terrorist training' camp in the rockwood conservation area. but at least most of them were innocent the whole time... but we saw in the media they were demonized as terrorists and will probably have an extremely hard time ever getting a job.

i have no soft spot in my heart for users or producers of child porn, but don't get up in arms until they've been found guilty or the cops let us know their evidence against them.
