OK so nothing's perfect right? I mean fault can be found with anything in the world. But does this mean we ignore the inperfections and let them go? What if the inperfections are hurting people? You may be asking yourself what these questions have to do with fighting pedophiles. The truth is they have everything to do with it.
The internet is a great tool, but it is far from perfect. It is so vast that illegal activity can go un-noticed on it. The vastness of the internet can lead to a feeling that it can not be policed. So people know that pedophiles are operating on the internet, but they don't try to do anything about it because after all the internet is too big. Right?
Wrong! The fact is, children are being victimized because the popular feeling around is that the internet can not be policed. Or people don't want the internet policed because then "big brother" would be watching. I'll leave my personal feelings on that one out of this discussion. But I will say if internet web hosting companies took more care to see what was on their servers the internet could almost police itself.
Yeah, this would cost money, but it would create jobs. More importantly it would save children from falling victim to pedophiles using the internet as a hangout. Maybe it would be an inconvience to big corporations that only care about the bottom line. But should we really care about them? How much do they care about us?
The fact is costing a major, faceless corporation a few bucks here and there won't, in the end, hurt in the end hurt anybody, even the company itself. The expense or the time is worth it, when it saves an innocent child from the pain of abuse.
So yeah, maybe the internet is big, maybe it would be complicated to fully police it. But that does not mean we shouldn't try, not when people are being hurt by it. Visit abusefreedom.com to learn more about a law to help protect children on the internet.

Have you checked out April's Law?
___________________________________
APRIL’S LAW FEDERAL PETITION
We, the undersigned, as citizens and registered voters do hereby petition for the passage of laws regulating the maintaining, or promoting, or building or hosting or supporting or sponsoring or being connected in any way to any web site that promotes, encourages, panders, or solicits the sexual exploitation of children. These laws shall apply to private, public or commercial enterprises whether they be individual or corporate.
We, feel that the use of these web sites encourages crimes against children of a depraved sexual nature; that the existence of these sites serves no public or community good or use; that the only visitors of the sites are child predators or potential child predators; that the sites entices, incites or inflames the sick passion of child predators; that the sites present a clear and present danger to our children.
We believe that no Internet service provider, Internet hosting service, Web hosts or any other private, public or commercial service that provide data center space and/or connectivity to the Internet or to any local area network, should be able to legally host or provide any type of service to any individual, web site or organization that encourages sex crimes against children. This includes any web site, service or individual that portray children in a sexually suggestive manner, any support system, web sites, blogs, audio or video service or hosting services that verify and encourage pedophiles to continue with their criminal urges against children and any type of pornography that is digitally enhanced, touched up or otherwise altered to make the individuals engaging in sex acts to resemble children in a realistic manner. We demand that these web sites be made ILLEGAL in the USA for the USA and the global community.
We, feel that because of this danger that the maintenance of a child predator web site is a conspiracy to commit a sex crime against a child and is so grievous in nature that it should be classified as a felony.
We, therefore petition for the following sanctions against these web sites:
1.) All persons involved in these web sites shall pay a fine of $250,000, have all computer equipment seized and donated to a local school,
2.) All persons involved be required to be a registered sex offender,
3.) All persons involved be restricted from access to the internet,
4.) Be sentenced to 25 years; be required to serve a mandatory 5 year sentence in jail followed by 20
years probation
This law should be called APRIL’S LAW after April Rowbury who was raped and left with a venereal disease at 6 years of age. Her attacker was convicted but only served 12 months. He spent the next 19 years as a habitual user of pedophile web sites until he was again arrested for raping another child. This time his sentence was only 10 years.
