A Disease affecting us all

If you didn't see Dateline on NBC Friday night you really need to go the this link and read about it and watch whatever video clips they have from it. It's the third time they have done a show like this and each time it more appalling than the last.

Men of all ages, social classes, ethnicities show up to the house expecting to find a teenage boy or girl home alone... but they find cameras in their face. They met the "teenager" (who is actually an adult from Perveted-Justice.com) on the Internet and were hoping to have a sexual encounter. Why is this a disease affecting us all??? Fifty men were caught and charged in 3 days. Not only that but also as sick and wrong as this is I have a filling it only scratches the surface of what really goes in the dark corners of the Internet. What is the roots of this disease? Pornagraphy! It has power over men and it degrades women. I am not saying that just because a guy looks at porn he will solicite a 13 year old on the Internet... what I am saying is that over years of porn addiction it can lead to it in time. And with it being so easy to access over the Internet regular men find themselves fighting the lure access porn. Then after awhile the images and the videos aren't enough and these men find themselves in the local teen chatroom talking to some unsuspecting teen... men come up with new fantasies and want to act them out... so when the opportunity is there (in this case, with someone from Perveted Justice) they take it. Teachers, cops, bums, criminals, factory workers, song writers, firefighters... the list goes on. I urge you parents... figure out a way to monitor your child's online activities... your child will probably not be the one inviting them over to your house but... enough damage can be done in the chat room with dirty men sending them nasty pictures of their private parts. Talk about being scarred... Ok... I am getting off my soapbox.
