Hi all,

Im pretty new here. Was browsing this forum to see if anyone had any info on how to report child porn on limewire so it can be removed.

Anywhoo, reading some of the messages gone by there is misconception out there that I think I need to address. Long story short I was put into researching child sex crimes and the psychology behind these perverts about a year ago. The misconception I am speaking of is the notion that people who download child porn are less 'sick' than those doing the act, or that those who draw images are less sick than those who obtain real ones. This is absolutely not true. I am drawing on stats here in my mind that I looked at over 6 months ago so I might be a tincy bit out, but something like 70 - 80% of people who obtain / download child pornography go on to actually commit child sex offences. This is one of the reasons they are so harsh on it as a crime and consider posession and production (including drawings and stories) to be a child sex crime. Trust me when I say that the person who downloads child pornography should be considered just as dangerous as a paedophile - the truth is that they sexually enjoy this stuff so if the right opportunity arose they are at high risk of actually offending against a child.

Just thought I would clarify this as it is a dangerous misconception to believe that there are grades of these crimes that dictate how sick a person is or how dangerous they are - there aren't, if you are sickly attracted to children then you are sickly attracted to children and sadly the majority of repeat child sex offenders (including posession of child porn in that tally) are unable to be rehabilitated to the point where they are considered 'safe' around children. The question as to when abuse of the child starts is usually answered by officials like this: the abuse starts in the abuser's mind, not when they act on it.

Anyhow, does anyone out there have an answer to my dliema on where is best to report child porn on limewire?? I haven't downloaded anything bad, but on one search I did one of the files that came up was beyond obvious as it detailed as such in the title.
