Since launching in 1998, the CyberTipline has received over 500,000 reports of suspected child exploitation. These tips have helped authorities in nabbing monsters like Richard Goldberg and Kenneth Freeman.
According to the experts from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the internet makes it possible for more pedophiles to share exploitative images and to perpetuate a seemingly endless cycle of abuse: each time an image is shared online, that child is victimized again.
These crimes leave more of a footprint than people realize.

I don’t understand how america can say that we don’t have the money or resources to protect our children on the internet. There are millions and millions of very concerned parents who would love to get together, get trained, and volunteer there time to patrol the web and find pediphiles. I once found a problem on the web. I called the cyber police and was told there are only 2 cyber police officers patrolling the web due to a lack of funding. Parents need to start and circulate petitions everywhere that would either force the government to handle this situation properly or let the parents who have the time and desire do it for them. Do you think Walsch can do it all by himself? For all he has done there are still millions and millions of the “monsters” very much in business. Parents, if your not going to stand up for your kids no one else will. One person or organization alone cannot do it. This problem has reached epidemic proportions and everyone is waiting for someone else to fix it. EVERYONE needs to get involved. When you find out that your child has been victimized don’t be angry with the rest of the world for being to busy to protect your kids, when, you yourself were to busy to protect them. Get those petitions circulating and don’t stop until Uncle Sam, President Bush, or whoever is in office makes real changes.

I am sure the law enforcement officers have looked into this area, but have there been ANY similar types of homicides, wth similaror idential modus operandi, to those of Sara Fox? I feel it was not someone she knew, obviously, but the person who committed this horrible act more than likely has done it before. Hopefully, if they keep searching for killers that might have there prints in the system, or if someone talks about it (including this monster) it can be a solvable case.

The problem with the internet is it went up so fast, so immediately, that regulation or policing of its content has not caught up with it by a long shot. The best weapon at this point that we have, is to educate and warn our children, and teenagers of the hidden dangers created by these pariahs of society on cyberspace.

The more I research the more I learn just how big of a problem this is. Something a lot of people do not want to talk about. Familes, I believe, can start with making sure their computer is safe and secure. I use SeeNoEvil to watch my husband’s activity and safeguard my children from things on the web.

I really feel for these children and I hope that every preditor gets what they have coming to them. It is sick! It makes me sad that there are kids out there being victimized by these sickos. I know what it is like to be a victim as I am a survier of sexual abuse myself. My mother and my mothers friends abused me when I was a little girl. By the grace of god my mother and one of her friends were caught and sent to prison. My mother is now out and gets off of parole in the year 2011. The other person is still behind bars.

sometimes I wish I could close my eyes and pretend that any of this stuff is real and keep my brothers and sisters in my arms every single second of the day and watch out for them, but reality is we live in a society where our next door neighbor or our family members could be a predator. I live in fear that my brothers and sisters will be abused like i was I felt sacred because I knew it would scare my mom and dad twice as much as it scared me. Because they would always live in fear that it could happen again. My dad works all day and my step mom is in school and the communication in my house is not that good, thats what scares me the most because I fear that they won’t turn to me and their whole life they will have that secret that could possibly be kept forever and me not even knowing. I WISH I could do more but I’m only fifteen and I don’t know what tomorrow brings or if its promised, but i wil try no not try I WiLL be there to love my brothers and sisters unconditionally and help them with all my love and support because its something I promised my mom before she left and no matter what happens I believe me and my brothers and sisters WILL make it!
