Everyone likes child porn

With all this talk about child pornography my memory was jogged to a situation that occurred when I was a senior in High School four years ago.  The father of a classmate of mine that graduated a year before I did, actually was caught on a department store camera going into a dressing room with a young child to commit a sexual act.  The child reported it and the man was caught.  
 

It was surprising because was that everyone in the school knew the teen and his father was known too.  What this shows you that anyone is capable of committing such an act.  We think we know people better than we actually do.  We all have this assumption that pedophiles live by themselves and are people we don’t see everyday.  This only proves that everyone from doctors and lawyers to teachers and priests can be pedophiles.  
 

Knowing that there are people from every facet of life that desire to commit sexual acts against children and that some actually do just makes the problem even scarier.  It’s sad when you can’t even trust a family doctor or family friend because of what they might want to do.  Since we don’t know who wants to do these things, we need to teach children to be more careful, along with being more careful ourselves to watch the actions of people who are around kids.
 

Unfortunately, since so many people do enjoy abusing children they are just going to keep fueling the child porn industry.  With the demand for child porn rising, the suppliers are just going to try to keep up.  This just means more and more abuse of children.  By the look of it, this cycle just continues to grow and grow.  It seems to me that the best way to break the cycle is to stop the abuse and desire and the rest of the pieces should fall into place.
