Where do I begin with my rant?
1. Why does the press insist on using such phrasing as,
, when it should be phrased "hard-core *advertiser censored* involving children as young as infants being sexually assaulted by adults. Their phrasing (and I've noticed this in other media outlets) makes child *advertiser censored* and rape sound like a consensual, mutual act.hard-core *advertiser censored* involving children as young as infants engaged in sexual activities with adults, according to federal officials.
2. Quote:
They said several suspects have been previously convicted of sex offenses against children or were under investigation in other *advertiser censored* cases.
Further quote:
If child rape and child *advertiser censored* (hell, ANY sexual offense against children, regardless of how it's phrased) were taken seriously in this country, the suspects in *this* roundup would have already been behind bars for life for their previous convictions. Up to 20 years and large fines??? How much more gently can they slap these monsters' hands? :behindbarThe charges could bring prison sentences of up to 20 years and large fines
3. Law enforcement officers were among those arrested. How on earth can these monstrous acts be combated if the ones we are supposed to be able to trust are among those committing the acts? Yes, I know these particular law enforcement officers are NOT representative of LE as a whole (and are not even 1 percent of LE)......but what if people like them worm their way into child *advertiser censored* investigations in their regions? What hope do we have then of saving these kids, when the monsters are the ones we're expecting to save them?
I hate the world sometimes, and feel helpless to do a thing to change it.
