In the battle over our children – parents versus child rapists and child pornograhers – who would you place your bet on?
It seemed child pornographers and clubs like NAMBLA, the North American Man Boy Love Association, whose declared “hobby” is to rape children were winning. With 300,000 known predators the FBI was monitoring, but not arresting or prosecuting it seemed the only rational response was to run and hide.
But, hide where? They wear “good guy” camouflage and mingle among us, volunteering to coach soccer teams, lead the youth Sunday School, and play the part of the perfect step-parent or boyfriend to get close to kids.
But, after being exposed on Oprah a few weeks ago – Half a million, that’s 500,000 – Moms and Dads brought the Can of Whoop Ass on Child Pornographers in the way of the Senate Bill 1738—The PROTECT Our Children Act that passed last week!
That’s right America. You emailed and called enough of your congressional leaders to say THERE ARE JUST SOME THINGS WORTH SPENDING MONEY ON and arresting rapists and child pornographers is one of those things!
While they were all gathered to debate the economic crisis. Oprah and I were nervous that they would overlook this very important bill to protect kids from sexual violence. Instead they took the opportunity to vote for the bill. (Ever noticed how much more likely they are to listen in election years?)
I am so proud of us.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world. Indeed it’s the only thing that ever has.”-Margaret Mead
To the 300,000 child rapists and child pornographers out there – I am so very sad that your families – your wives, children, parents, siblings and friends – will be devastated by your arrest. It is profoundly tragic that they will suffer so much.
Please, God don’t let any of those 300,000 people about to be arrested for child pornography be in my life. And Please God, don’t let the FBI arrest innocent people.

I agree with Bill O’Reilly (SCREAM!!!)

I dont’ really understand, why do you have so many reservations about innocent people getting pinned with this bill? Is there something I’ve missed?
I don’t know if your spam and email is as pornographic as mine – but I want to vomit almost every day just from the subject lines.
Once or twice they’ve tricked me with something like “Jennifer said to tell you hi” and I really do think it’s about Jennifer. One click and BAM – perv city! My eyes! My eyes! The kids aren’t standing here are they?!
I’m just praying the FBI doesn’t come arrest me or anyone else for thinking I know Jennifer . . .
Cause I didn’t want to know THAT Jennifer THAT way – the sickos tricked me.
I would think the arrests would be focused on those sending the e-mails instead of recieving them. Isn’t this bill supposed to provide funding to local law enforcement agencies to hire IT staff who know how to tell if someone solicited pornographic pics of children or if they accidently recieved it?
On the upside – most perves don’t just have a couple messages in their inbox…they have a couple thousand on their home computer.
I know what you mean though, I knew someone that was accused of abuse during a custody battle – the charges were dismissed due to no evidence, but it’s amazingly easy to ruin someone’s life with an accusation.
After the bill passed I got a little sad and down and nervous. It took me a day or two to figure out why. What if it IS our soccer coach or relative or pastor or friend? A nearby Methodist Minister was recently arrested. How terrible for the whole church.
Then I started thinking about spam. Do you know how many naked people are in my spam and inbox everyday? No doubt some of those are photos of children. I have no control over that. So it is a little concerning that the FBI would be arresting people on the basis of received email alone.
I know some families who have been arrested for similar behavior and it was devastating for them.
Sometimes compassion sucks. I wish I could feel more punitive about it now that the bill has passed.
Yay! I’m so happy to hear this. And yes, good things happen on election years. I’m praying the same prayers that you are.
