DARK SIDE OF THE WEB
(CHILD ABUSE AND THE INTERNET)
Children are innocent and vulnerable. ... And the Internet provides a doorway to the information highway. ... Parents are outraged and want to protect, not only their children, but all children from this exposure on the Internet.
In the world of the Internet, sex rings and secret societies have members enmeshed for the primary purpose of voyeurism, sexual abuse, and sexual exploitation of children all over the world. ...

But others can now hide behind the shadowy comfort of the Internet shield. The Seattle Times reported that by 1998, more than 1,500 suspected pedophiles in 32 states have been identified through various chat rooms on one of America’s most popular Internet service (Malkin, pg 4,5). ...

A Time CNN poll recently asked teenagers: “Do you use the Internet for things like email, chat rooms or visiting Web sites? ... Time also asked during the same poll: “Have you ever seen Web sites that are x-rated or have sexual content? ... Police are well aware of these habits and in these type of cases will quickly obtain a search warrant to seize any computer owned by a suspected child molester.
