The Sydney Morning Herald has carried a piece about pederasty facilitated by misuse of the Internet. The core of the piece reveals not just the extent of the crime, but the sophistication of its perpetrators.
A special police taskforce has discovered the number of sex offenders who target children in in Australia has been wildly underestimated and local paedophiles have set up secure online sites to share intelligence on how to trap victims. Deputy Commissioner Graham Ashton says police are shocked at the number of active offenders operating in Victoria. "There are hundreds and hundreds. We have found some terrible stuff that would keep you awake at night," he told Fairfax Media.Depravity, whilst common to all, is never static in the human soul. It is either growing or diminishing, waxing or waning. When lust takes over, its servants will be found working industrially to satiate their slaked thirst. More and more extreme perversions will be required to satisfy their spiritual, mental, and bodily cravings.
He said Taskforce Astraea is conducting 120 separate investigations and has rescued 40 children in Australia and offshore who had been targeted by paedophiles. The taskforce began by using computer software to identify encrypted child pornography images but soon discovered many offenders move quickly from "passive" observers to aggressive molesters.
Astraea has found:
Astraea investigations reveal offenders trawl sites until they find someone they feel can be exploited and make contact pretending to be a person around the same age. They then introduce a second fake character who bullies the victim on line. The offender then steps in to "protect" the target to win affection. "They then share some images and the hooks are in," Mr Ashton said. "He says he will tell friends and parents unless we meet. We have had kids climbing out the window at 2am to meet a paedophile."
- Pay-for-view sites where children are abused and in some cases tortured.
- Teenage girls in Melbourne are being blackmailed for sex by adult offenders.
- Secure chat rooms where offenders discuss methods to groom children and tips to avoid detection.
- Elaborate internet stings designed to trap vulnerable teenagers.
He said most adults are unaware of the internet threat to their children. "Parents can be downstairs watching Family Feud while their teenage daughter is chatting to a notorious paedophile online in the bedroom upstairs. They are sharing intelligence online and educating each other by saying, 'This works, this doesn't, don't do this or you will be caught'."
Some takeouts:
1. The dominant materialistic world-view and its hand-maiden evolutionism has no firm ground upon which to fight such evils--which is to say that modern Western society does not really believe in the existence of evil. Evil is nothing more than an irritant to the machine All if requires is the application of fragrant grease--other people's money--and the evil will wane. The machine will run smoothly again. Whenever modern society arises to combat an extreme form of wickedness, such as pederasty, it is compromised and dilatory from the outset. Materialism and evolutionism do not believe in the existence of absolute evil. It does not believe in the existence of Satan. Worse, it ridicules the idea as primitive and superstitious.
2. Parents who allow their children unsupervised and unregulated access to the Internet and mobile phones are beyond irresponsible. They are themselves complicit in immorality. Might as well be completely permissive and allow their children liberty and license to wander the streets of red-light districts unaccompanied into the early morning hours.
3. Modern technology-besotted Western culture has worshipped at the feet of the great IT idol. Parents have been repeatedly told that their children will not succeed in the coming generation unless they are utterly conversant with IT devices of every kind and their deployment and application. Never has a generation of parents been so enervated and enfeebled; never has a generation of parents agreed that they are inadequate to prepare their children for effective adult like; never has a generation of parents been so emasculated in their own minds.
4. Complicit in this mass stupidity is the statist educational establishment, which, having failed to teach children how to read and write in its academies of "learning", has sought to deflect criticism by category revision: education no longer is about reading, writing, and maths and their derivatives. All that is passée. IT is the new real. Children go to school to learn how to text and develop Facebook capabilities. Any parent who subjects children to antediluvian pre-occupations with the 3-R's is coming close to child abuse. No classroom, unless it is replete with laptops, tablets, i-phones, and intranets, is worthy of the name.
5. If we, as a culture, do not swallow our craven pride, turn from our evil ways, and repent of our sins, seeking the Lord's mercy and forgiveness, it will get worse. If it had been argued in the 1960's that within fifty years, children would be being groomed and manipulated by adults into sexual perversion on an industrial scale, they would have been dismissed as an idiot. If we do not humble ourselves, the next fifty years will see far, far worse. Evil is never static. It is either being itself eviscerated, or it will be growing in strength to where it will disembowel a society. "We have had kids climbing out the window at 2am to meet a paedophile," while their "parents are downstairs watching Family Feud," just about says it all.
