The RCMP's Canadian Police Centre for Missing and Exploited Children announced Wednesday that 21 people have been arrested and 16 of them charged so far as part of Operation Snapshot. The charges include invitation to sexual touching, Internet luring, indecent exposure and accessing and distributing child pornography. Det. Sgt. Darren Parisien, who led the operation, said hundreds of thousands of images were found on more than 100 computers or hard drives and 1,000 disks. "The vast majority involve children under the age of 12," Parisien said at a news conference in Regina. "But more and more increasingly, we're dealing with images of infants, toddlers ... children who can't even speak. That's becoming a disturbing trend that we're seeing in a lot of cases and certainly that was present in a number of the investigations involved with this project." Operation Snapshot involved 30 multi-agency police investigations in 15 different communities in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories.

I was saddened yet grateful to open my homepage to see this title today.

Saddened because of the reality that it is happening so frequently, and so many children are victims, but so grateful to our police forces for the work they do in tracking down these children, and their perps.

It must be a very sad job, and I thank all officers who work diligently at trying to rescue children from damaging situations. Keep up the good work.

For those of you involved in this type of activity, I realize it can be a great addiction, but please...take a good look at your life, and ask yourself is it really worth the twisted cheap thrills you may experience ? No doubt those of you with some humanity left in you feel guilt and remorse, and it is never too late to change your life around, and to stop feeding into this ugly machine that ruins and destroys the young lives of children.

I'm not implying that any reading this are involved with child porn, just putting it out there in case there are. By feeding into this machine, even if you are just downloading images, you are feeding the beast, because someone is abusing children because they can profit.

Once again hats off to the RCMP for a good job...and I pray that those charged will get the help they need to turn their lives around , as well as this story serve as a catalyst for others to turn their lives around as well.

People like that will never change.
We should use the Vlad the Impaler method on the creeps.

While it sounds like a great idea at first, after awhile it would get a little messy and people would probably start to complain about the smell ...

I will never lose hope that humans can change their lives around...Though I fear some have become so hardened, and gone to such depths of darkness that it would literally take a miracle to change them...if it is indeed possible.

I think there could be many out there, who have dabbled in child porn out of curiosity, or been lured into it by friends, or acquaintances. I believe they can stop this behavior, and deep down they want to.

Telling them they will never change doesn't really help them at all.
