On Interpol's public appeal to help ID a serial pedophile...

After the recent success in US in which police released the picture of a young girl (4 year old) who was abused and videoed, together with the picture of the abuser; as a result, both were identified and the girl was found.

And now, Interpol is following that footstep, releasing the picture of a serial pedophile/rapist who was found to have abused at least 12-13 young boys, filmed on video. The public response was overwhelming. I found they will find that evil soon, and to bring him to justice. Why don't they start castrating animals like this, rather than keeping them in jail (if that's where they're going to send him, when he is found)?

Reading through the Interpol website and the successes that they have in cross-border collaboration to bring perpetrators to justice still make my heart ache, with stories of two young girls' fathers abusing them from Belgium, video-taping it, and circulating that on the web. And there is the story of a young victim from Poland whose location was identified, that led to locating him and the abusers after many years of abuse. And then there is the ID of two men from Spain who have been abusing children as young as 18 months (how could any human beings possibly do that!?!?!), rescuing victims from two to four years old.

Surely the world has turned darker these days, with violence and sex being sanitized daily. But I do not subscribe to the notion that we have more of these kind of sex deviants in this day and age. It has been the information made instantly available on the web, only only allowing these evils to collaborate, but also allow law enforcement to get to them.

While I'm not the social-networking type, and I never have any interest in MySpace or Facebook or even LinkedIn (for professional and networking pursuit), I do strongly believe that making information publicly available can help law enforcement in bringing the animalistic (human) beings to justice. It's the People's Power that's going to be the order of the day.
