Child porn/abuse at Disney World Hotel

This has been in the news since last week here in Toronto. There was a press conference where the Toronto child porn squad released photos of the scenery in the child porn websites. There were desperate to find a clue. they believe this child has been abused for 3 years now. It makes me vomitous.

Within 20 minutes of releasing the photos the Toronto squad had two phone calls from Toronto identifying the location as Walt Disney World in Florida. Didn't I nearly faint. When we were at disney world it never crossed my mind that this might be going on. I am too damn naive.

The article which follows was taken from the CBS website, linked from the Early Show. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/02/09/earlyshow/living/main672684.sh tml

Authorities in Canada and the U.S. are working together to identify a young girl, believed to be the victim of sexual abuse, whose pictures have been on Internet child pornography sites for years.

In an unusual step, they're releasing a series of photographs, from which the child has been digitally removed, in an effort to get the publics help.

CBS News correspondent Jim Acosta reports that the girl is believed to be white, blonde and 9 to 12 years old. She is possibly from the northeastern U.S or southeastern Canada and was abused by somebody, possibly a relative or caregiver, who posted the photos on child pornography Web sites.

Anyone with information can log on to to www.ice.Gov or call the National Center For Missing & Exploited Children cyber tipline at 1-800-843-5678.

Using the background in some of the photos, which have been on the Web for more than a year, authorities have identified as the crime scene one of the rooms in Disney World's Port Orleans French Quarter resort. Disney officials and authorities in Florida's Orange County are said to be cooperating with Canadian authorities in the case.

"We are in the middle of questioning staff that have been there since that time period, going through logs, because we have a lot of information on what the inside of the hotel room looks like," Sgt. Paul Gillespie of the Toronto Police Service told Acosta.

Officials said they took the unusual step of releasing the photos in the hope that someone who was there at the time might recognize the room and other locations at the theme park and perhaps lead police to the little girl and the culprit. The pictures showed an elevator, a fountain and a bed in a hotel room.

In an interview Wednesday on The Early Show , Marcy Forman, director of the office of investigations for the Immigration and Custom Enforcement Agency (ICE), said officials are worried about the childs safety.

"The faster we find her, the easier we could rest," Forman said. "We're working diligently with the sheriff's office in Florida and with the Toronto police department."

ICE is a division of the Department of Homeland Security which in 2003 started Operation Predator to identify, investigate and arrest sexual predators. Forman said it had been cooperating in the case, even before the crime scene was identified as a Florida hotel.

Why didnt officials release a photo of the girl, even just her face?

"In some instances, it helps to identify the victim," said Forman. "But in most instances, we want to protect the privacy and the safety of the victim. That's why we are only releasing the photos of the location we believe that the abuse took place."

Officials say more than 50,000 children are being used for Internet pornography and so far only about 500 of them have been identified.
Toronto police reportedly has one of the largest and most sophisticated child pornography units in North America. The girl came to the attention of the then two-year-old unit in 2002.

Only 1 percent of all victims are actually identified. I worry about where our society is going.

This has gone on for years and the word DISNEY will make this particular case get even more attention. My question is; why can't something be done? Sad Cry

There are a lot of sick people out there and children in danger, but I do believe the laws and the way we track these people has also become more sophisticated. In the last couple of years we've seen a huge number of predators caught and arrested. I am glad to see them taking steps to release location photos to nail these bastards.

Castrating them and letting them live is a lot kinder than what I'd propose. Grin
