Everywhere you look on these threads you see that the internet played a big roll in this and other cases of it's type. It seems to me that it is past time that the problem is addressed. Here are some ideas and I'd like to see what all of you think.
We have special courts to take care of various subjects such as bankruptcy, divorce, and other crimes. Why not a special court for SO so that the judges, lawyers, and others will be up to speed on this crime, criminal, and law? The laws need to change before we can consider "special courts". There are too many loopholes, the lack of consistent laws, and the means to enforce them.
Hackers have brought down big sites on the internet such as Ebay and Amazon. Why can't these molester sites be taken down when found? Maybe form a national task force that will police the internet and take the offender sites down. They are doing this on a daily basis now. As you can see, it is only scratching the surface. As soon as one site is down another opens. Child *advertiser censored* is a billion dollar business and as long as there are people willing to pay...they will find ways to avoid the law. They can afford to hire the most computer savy individuals to insure they can continue.
Credit cards enable these to make purchases for pictures, and "tools" of their trade. MJ purchased some "tools" for use on his victims in this case and I think he is selling too. Why not have credit card companies refuse cards to those who have been convicted of this crime? Using offenders lists this should be pretty easy. This way they will be slowed down and the US mail will have more opportunities to track these . They will simply steal CCs (credit cards) and use those. They already create fake identities to continue their practices. There is no way to prevent them from getting CCs after a conviction. (I am sure there is also a law protecting their rights to have credit, too!)
AT&T and AOL block child *advertiser censored* sites and this needs to spread to all providers. This will never work. Looks good on paper and sounds good in the media...but it will do no good in stopping them. You put up one block and they find a way around it. Remember, they hire the best to keep them up and running. Time is money for them. It is a business.
When found, I don't care what state they are from, we need a National Jessica's law. Also when parents allow their children to be with SO on a published list they too should be held legally responsible. I agree that the laws need to be changed to include people who knowingly subject children to people who have already been deemed to be a danger to their children. The law should also include people like the man who did the home inspect on MJ and knew he was breaking his parole/probation by living with children under the age of 16 yo. The laws are in place...but not being enforced.
These are just a couple of ideas. I'd like feedback please. I am planning to take the final ideas to my State Rep. I'm tired of reading about the hell our children have experienced due to complacency. Thanks for your time.
