A Dint Is Made In The Global Child Abuse Crisis

Child abuse is not something we hear of every day, particularly not in the sexual sense, but despite this it is going on and at a global scale. I am referring to this as a crisis because that is what it is, a crisis.
22 men have recently been arrested as part of a global network. The images that were seized from the defendants amounted to 500,000, some videos lasted up to two hours and the children were as young as 12 months. This particularly shocked me because I look at my 16 month old and can still imagine her in my womb, so why anyone would want to touch her or anyone of a young age is beyond my comprehension completely.

Child pornography and child abuse is not at large purely due to the Internet, the sheer lack of deterrent is almost wholly to blame. In Great Britain there are cases where men and women simply escape with community service or less than 18months in prison. In my view child abuse takes away a child's life; innocence is removed, trust is broken and dreams are tainted and shattered forever. So if their lives have been taken, if they can never escape from what has happened why is it that within months a paedophile may be assigned a social worker and allowed to walk the streets months later?

Unfortunately Paedophiles cannot be cured. They are not ill, it is a sexual preference. You can no more deter a Paedophile from abusing a child than you can force someone straight to become gay and vice versa. That is why they need removing from society completely, not by means of death, but they should be made to live out their lives away from children in prison. Yes it infringes on human rights, but should we continue to threaten the safety of our children just to allow a dangerous individual to maintain their human rights?

The case of Keith Jamieson gives weight to my argument. A repeat offender in Australia who was not deterred by long spells in prison even voiced his intent to re-offend after his final spell in Australian prison for raping a seven year old boy. His casual intent and lack of fear at once again entering the judicial system just goes to show how Paedophiles simply cannot help themselves, and those who cannot help themselves cannot be helped by anyone else.

So for as long as the Paedophiles that reside in Britain and across the world are deterred only by mere months 'inside' or scrubbing public toilets, our children are in danger of being abused and this global crsis will continue.
