Photos And PedophilesA sergeant, at The Fort Sill Army Base in Lawton, Oklahoma, had been assigned to a different base. Everything all packed, he had a moving company contracted to pick up his boxes and move them onto the truck.
One of the boxes, accidentally, fell as a lady was moving it to the truck. As the box fell, the wrapping tape came undone and out fell hundreds of pictures of child porn. She quickly called the police, and the man was arrested. The sergeant filed charges against the moving company, and the lady, who uncovered the sordid depravity, was fired by the moving company, since no one had been given the rights to go through the man's personal belongings. Pictures.
Pictures! If there is any one thing that characterizes a predatory pedophile is pictures. Like heads of animals that hang from the walls of the study, picture-files owned by pedophiles seem to be one of the characteristics that describe virtually all active pedophiles.
A mother in our town, had a girl spend the night with her daughter. The neighbor girl had been tested, placed, and still she would come to school and do literally nothing, yet her test scores were quite good.
The girl's parents didn't show up, so the mother walked the girl home. The girl let her inside and there were pornographic images of the girl's sister and herself.
"Daddy says God made us this way so we can play with it." BUSTED!
I had an article published in the Oklahoma Observer. The editor printed my name and the name of my small town. My article was about teen drinking and the incarceration rate. Not long after the article appeared, I recieved a letter from a prisoner, who agreed with me and gave me suggested percentages of the new, young inmates that were sent to his prison who were involved in a crime that involved alcohol. He mentioned to me that he had an article that he was wanting published and wanted me to look over the article and see what I thought of his effort.
At the time, I was using a TRS-80 Model 4P, which is still my favorite computer, and amazingly, was the same computer to which he had access in the prison's library. At the time, we were big into our In-Home Short Term Juvenile Delinquent Shelter for young people who were in trouble with the law.
Soon I received the letter with his article in it, which I would have considered a first draft. I sent him back the article with a lot of ideas for changes and suggested that an article should be written with an idea of a specific publication in mind. I pointed out that most magazines would gladly send out one of their magazines, for a couple of dollars, to peruse and give him an idea just what his article needed to look like.
At the same time, the head of the prison's library, had some questions for me about wordprocessing using the Model 4P, and what was the best wordprocessor for the machine. The librarian also warned me about the guy, with whom I was communicating. Of course, the prisoner had assured me that he was not guilty and had many people working to get his release.
After two or three letters, I received a letter, in which he asked for a picture of my family, which consisted of four, fairly young, children. At that point, our communication stopped. Pedophiles seem to cherish pictures of young children, and I mentally tagged this man as a possible pedophile.
At one of our TRS-80 meetings, a recently released prisoner from that same institution showed up for help with a Model 4P, that his girl friend had, which he was trying to get programs for his step-daughters. The first thing I did was ask the man if he knew the prisoner with whom I had been communicating. The X-Con actually knew the man and told me that he wouldn't trust him.
TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE
Within weeks, The Daily Oklahoman ran a front page story about an x-con who was taking pictures of his girl-friend's children and had a huge picture-file on children being subjected to sexual behavior. Collecting pictures of children seems to be the trait of pedophiles. Sadly, the man who showed up to get help with his Model 4P was pictured with the story and within days had committed suicide in jail.
The fact that Mark Foley was soliciting pictures from various pages makes me wonder how many pictures the man had collected. If those pictures exist, they would be found, in these days, on the computer and possibly, many being printed out and saved. Pedophiles need those pictures! Teens 16 to 18 years are still children and should not have prowling Congressmen begging for pictures.
As I watched Foley crying in front of the pages, his actions seemed to be a bit too contrived. Of course, my bro thinks it is a Democratic dirty-trick. Drudge thinks it is nothing more than a naughty prank. After a couple of years in prison, I think Drudge would come to the realization that "This ain't no joke, son!"
