WINNIPEG, Manitoba August 30, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A young man who admitted to downloading explicit pornographic images since he was 12, has been sentenced to two years supervised probation after he was charged for possessing photos and videos of children as young as 4 being sexually abused.
Dr. Judith Reisman, a researcher on pedophilia and an expert on the insidious effects of pornography, told LSN that she is unsurprised that such a young man would be involved in child pornography. “Our government leaders allow pornography to pollute our once great nations and act surprised that we are breeding inhuman men, women and children unlike any that have existed before,” she said.
In a 2008 international sting against child pornographers Austrian police followed an IP address to a 15-year-old boy in Winnipeg, MB.
When Winnipeg police came knocking at his door, the boy readily admitted his involvement, said Crown attorney Terry McComb to Winnipeg Sun.
The police confiscated the boy’s laptop and discovered images and videos featuring girls as young as 4 being sexually abused by adults.

If it cannot be saved, what then is the point in political activism? Why work to try and insure the future of people you are convinced have none?
20+ years ago I heard Dr Reisman speak. She warned then that pedophilia was going to escalate. She showed a publication which contained articles written by university professors who felt the ‘practice’would be accepted in the future. A terrible prophecy.
I agree that porn can certainly degrade people. Men who have porn addictions have been shown to have serious problems with relationships with real women.
Good point because it wouldn't exist if there weren't a market for it and there does seem to be a tremendous market.
This article is about child porn, which in my opinion is outlawed for good reason and adult porn sold to willing adults, which is legal.
How can anyone make the demand go away for either? By the way, I don't seek any of it.
I gave you Stalins quote. He was right. Homosexual deviants have "rights". Women are allowed to kill their children in the name of "convenience". And they are now questioning "rights" for pedophiles, multiple spouses and declaring that children are "sexual beings with rights".
All that has been posted on FR in the last week. How well has activism worked? Do I think we should quit fighting them? No. But I don't believe we will ever restore the morality this country once embraced.

There appears to not have been a time in our history that pornography did not exist. Technology has made it, along with virtually any other type of printed or graphic material you can name more accessible.
That suddenly it will now become the single definitive cause of the end of civilization does not withstand critical examination.
You say you belive it's too far gone to be saved, and will collapse. By that account you can't even restore the morality the country embraces today. Tomorrow will be worse, and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke
Instead of snidely attacking DJ for her stand against porn and its after effects, why not enlighten us all on why you think it’s fine.
Take the B4 U Act conference held in Baltimore the other day; the one that outlined all the positives there are with pedophilia.
I’m sure you can explain the benefits, right?
Because if you start talking about the women you can’t blame it all on the porn.
Women are just as damaaged in porn as the men are. Some use it, many try to live up to it. Go to FB or My Space and look at all the young girls with their mouths open aping porn stars catching ejaculate in films. Look at them with their tounges poking out aping pictures of female clitoris’. Look at the slutty clothing, the moral degeneracy and yeah, I will tell you that porn makes sluts and predators.
I agree. Things cannot be turned around without mayhem and disintegration first. But after that, I am sure they will turn around. But that doesn’t mean that people without moral blindness should sit on their hands and be quiet.
Here are some thoughts of a few wise men on the necessity of morality and religion:
“Reading, reflection and time have convinced me that the interests
of society require the observation of those moral precepts ... in
which all religions agree.” —Thomas Jefferson
Religion and good morals are the only solid foundation of public
liberty and happiness.”
— Samuel Adams (letter to John Trumbull, 16 October 1778)”
Of all the dispositions and habits which least to political
prosperity, Religion and morality are indespensable supports.
In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism who should
labor to subvert these great Pilliars of human happiness.
— George Washington (Farewell Address, 19 September 1796)
“[O]ur ancestors established their system of government on morality and religious sentiment. Moral habits, they believed, cannot safely be trusted on any other foundation than religious principle, nor any government be secure which is not supported by moral habits.”
— Daniel Webster, American Jurist and Senator
“[W]hen People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners,
they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign
Invaders.” —Samuel Adams
Patrick Henry said “Bad men cannot make good citizens. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience are incompatible with freedom.”
And my favorite:
“Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites—in proportion as their love of justice is above their rapacity;—in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption;—in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon the will and appetite is placed somewhere: and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds can not be free. Their passions forge their fetters.”
— Edmund Burke
Some nice quotes
We know what Gen. Washington thought about sodomy in the military. He had the perp drummed out of camp the next day.
They didn’t exactly defend it; they just noted how its been used and how omnipresent porn is.
I consider today’s porn to be an extension of our society. Look at the advertisements, the content on our prime time television shows; And then look at how the kids dress for school and their proms.
As Barney said “Go Ho or go home.”
One is making the other socially acceptable. If there were disgrace in society for viewing porn, you would see the professional business shrink. Personally, I think a good start would be to clean up the dress and language in our schools.
If I spent my time doing that I might be convinced, as you are. But those are not the people I know and associate with. I base my assesments on real people I meet in real life, not the most damning images I can find on the internet. That's just setting out to find the worst in people. I've seen people do it, but I do not understand the objective.
There may have been porn throughout history but never has it been so prevalent and accepted as now.
He won’t answer. It’s easier to be snide when there’s only one that sees porns damage.
Yep. Literally.
