Officials at several U.S. state and federal law enforcement organizations have announced an initiative aimed squarely at use of peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing networks for child pornography. More than 1,000 investigations have been opened in the United States involving the distribution and possession of child pornography. To date, there have been more than 65 people arrested and charged with crimes in the operation that began in the fall of 2003, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
well it is nice to know that someone somewhere is doing something. Child abuse and porn has been going on in Louisiana for a very long time now and the police here do NOTHING. They can have all of the evidence, etc. and NOTHING is ever done because they claim "they don't have time." My thirteen year old son was a victim last year he told the police where everything they needed for evidence was and they could have called for an emergency search warrant that night and the man that did this would be in jail. They said they were going to and they lied to us. They gave him time to get rid of everything. Now their excuse for doing nothing is that they have been too busy since the storm. Well let me tell you i grew up in Jefferson Parish and this is not idignous to the storm. This has gone on for YEARS. I know too many kids this happens to and the police just throw it on the back burner. So if the FBI really wants to do something why don't they look in their own backyard (the US) and investigate people like these officers in Louisiana that "don't have time" for a child rape case. That is what the charges were "child rape" but the detective says he "just doesn't have the time or manpower" well you know.. what if i don't have time to pay my taxes? How long do you think it would take to put me in jail? Yet a man who rapes a child is still walking the streets because Jefferson Parish police feel they are "too busy."
