Internet Porn & Paedophiles use toys to catch Children
Children
are being drawn to pornographic websites
by the use of
toy brand names... Youngsters searching the Internet for Christmas
present ideas, such as Barbie and Pokemon,
find the words are
linked to sites containing obscene material...[via] search engines.
[Paedophiles
are using the same technique to draw children
to chatrooms they use.]
Researchers found nealy 12,000 examples of names being used
in this way...They typed in the names of 26 children's favourites,
including the Muppets, Mr
Men, and characters from Toy Story.
Of the unsuitable links researchers found
30% featured hard core
material, while the rest contained nudity, obscene language or
extreme violence.

Internet Paedophile Ring Broken - for how long?
On
Monday [12th February 2001] seven men will be sentenced ...
for exchanging three-quarters of a million
sexually explicit images
of children over the internet. They were
part of The Wonderland Club,
a world-wide paedophile ring.
The
price of entry was 10,000 original images
of child abuse.
The
investigation revealed that more than 200 men in
13 different countries
were involved. ...
I saw unimaginable depravity and the most inhuman
treatment
of children. Hardened detectives involved in the investigation
were clearly shaken.
[But
this was not just about passing images. It was about creating them.]
An
eight year-old girl, Allison, was staying the night with her school friend.
Ronald Riva, the friend's father, took Allison into the computer room.
Using a web camera linked up to his computer he broadcast
his abuse
of the child live, online, to his friends.
It
may not be the end of the club. David Hines [one of the Paedophiles]
says, "they'll hide up and then they'll go looking for each other and
they'll regroup and the group will eventually be as big as it was, with
new members and with all the old pictures still floating around out there."

[On
the Programme, a representative of the Internet Service Providers
Association, failed to offer any assurances that ISP's would remove
Newsgroups from there services with obvious paedophile purpose,
like "alt.sex.child"]

Era for Children @ Risk
The
US Department of Justice said, "Never before
in the history of
telecommunications media in the United States has so
much indecent
(and obscene) material
been so easily accessible by so
many minors
in so many American homes
with so few restrictions."

Internet Children upset, embarrassed or frightened
An
NOP study suggests children who gain access to pornographic
material are instilled with a sense of shame.
In December ['98] the
research group NOP undertook a survey to look at what children
were searching for on the Net and how they reacted to what they
found. 20% of children had found content that upset,
embarrassed
or frightened them. Two-fifths said they
found something 'rude'.

50% Internet Teenagers unwittingly find
offensive material
[Another] survey also found that 53 percent of the
teens interviewed
had encountered offensive web sites that
could include pornography,
hate or violence. Ninety-one percent of those teens had come upon
offensive sites unwittingly while engaged
in benign activities,
such as conducting research for school projects or merely surfing the
web. Yankelovich

Health Hazard: 6 year olds addicted to porn
A
SURVEY of internet users in America has uncovered data
suggesting that more than 200,000 have become effectively
addicted to pornographic web sites and sex chat-rooms.
The research confirms long-held fears that obscene material
can be easily posted on web sites and accessed by anyone.
"This is a hidden public health hazard exploding, in part,
because very few are recognising it as such or taking it seriously,"
researchers at Stanford University in California
reported.
They said people had become obsessed with the benefits of
the internet and had ignored the more negative aspects.
Researchers
said: "Children as young as six are sitting in
their bedrooms and browsing through indecent images
without any problem. It is helping create a whole
generation
of people addicted to pornography."
