Well, I would definitely like to see the Yeti and get to know more about it. Have to say you have done an excellent job at presenting all the info that exists till date. Thanks for sharing, Jo!

LOL Merch Gwyar's hat ftw!

@Tiggered - I agree with the problem that TV provides so little intellectual stimulation these days and everything is so commercialized. That is not the values many of us would like to instill in our children. Not having a TV in the house helps.
@2uesday - outside the house is bad enough, I agree, and I think kids absorb outside the house things that are consistent with their parents' values and what they see inside the house.
@sheilamarie - I agree with your comment her and in the duel section above.

Will get back to writing about these places when I can. Thanks for the encouragement.

The same way the Church eventually dealt with its problem of pedophile priests. Difference, though, the priests had "witnesses/victims" who could speak up. It is still too hard to police the Internet, but I think there are probably people working on figuring out how - with the help of the best hackers, probably. It will have to be an international conjoint effort.

I really enjoyed this article, Sheri. Sounds like a very peaceful spot. Please do write about more sites, as some of us may never have the opportunity to visit even though we may love to.

A wise man indeed. Good to hear your Mum acted on his advice :)

I'm going to try this. Sometimes I just need a treat!

I guess I didn't delete it. It is truly horrifying. How do we even begin to deal with the problem?

Brenda, I would hate to think that the reason for light sentences for child porn crimes is not because of pedophile judges but because the judges can't get their heads around these crimes yet. But if it's such a huge business, then perhaps you are right. Horrifying.

Things have really improved in the U.S. regarding rape and conviction. Now that we have DNA, innocent men are being released after years of incarceration for crimes they didn't commit. It's much easier now to get a conviction with DNA evidence. Blaming the victim is no longer tolerated in a trial. The victims sex life cannot be presented. Something that I can't figure out is the light sentences that judges give to child predators. It makes me think that there are a lot of pedophiles on the bench. I heard on the news last week that child pornography on the internet is a $31 billion business in the U.S. I don't have the words to describe how I feel about that. I wish we had your system of using three judges. Great article!

@Brenda. Glad you liked the articles. Sorry to have exhausted you, though. Can I join you on the couch with that gorgeous dog for a bit of a rest?
@Jo. Thanks for the compliment. I am also honoured to know you. Isn't the Internet wonderful? Glad to make your acquaintance.

Thanks, Jo. Yeh, I've been around a bit. All before you were born? So you've got lots of time to catch up with me.

My eyes are hazel and when I get angry or very sad they turn emerald green. So how do I understand that one?

You're welcome. I just discovered it by accident and thought others might like it too.
