G8 ministers are urging the private sector, including Internet service providers, information technology professionals and financial institutions, to help combat child pornography on the Internet. "Because no child should be victimized in this horrific way, today we pledge to redouble our efforts to enforce the international fight against child pornography. Entities, including Internet service providers, information technology professionals and financial institutions … the media, parents and educators, should be encouraged to consider what role they could play in the fight," G8 interior and justice ministers said in a joint statement.
For many years, the G8 has been working with Interpol to fight child pornography on the web. It helped set up the International Child Sexual Exploitation Image Database, which is designed to aid police in identifying and rescuing abuse victims. The database has helped police find more than 500 children worldwide, and contains more than 500,000 images of children being sexually exploited. Interpol has developed software capable of identifying crime scenes, which is difficult because child pornographers often distort faces to avoid identification.

anyway ... this is: 1) disgusting ... 2) homosexuality is forbidden in Islam
so we're fine ^^
They should sack the law enforcement people involved in this and use the money to hire more agricultural inspectors. Call me weird, but once I stopped being a child, I'm way less concerned about being sexually exploited for paedophiles than I am about Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis.
For example, any man caught exploiting children in this way should be castorated then thrown in prison without clothes and a tattoo that says "I exploit children".
That ought to deter anyone from even thinking about it. And it would be hard to argue against because then you're basically giving the criminal more rights than the victim. How is that just?
