 More than 700 people were arrested across North America and the UK this week after a string of police raids on pedophiles using chat rooms to distribute pictures. Many of the rescued youth are children of the people involved and were being used by them to trade for other images. 

"British police said Monday that they have broken up an international
child pornography network run from a British-based website, rescuing 31
children and rounding up more than 700 suspects — including some in
Canada."

Rob Walker, thanks for getting on this so quickly.

(Disclosure: Having worked with kids for years when I was younger, I have a special loathing for child-predation.)
