Child porn 'club' posted photo of Down syndrome boy being molested

[The Straight Story]

The FBI announced the indictment of 16 domestic and international suspects in a child pornography ring who are believed to be part of an Internet-based, members-only bulletin board called "Lost Boy."

The various defendants used the names "HarryPotter," "Bottles&Cans," "Undy12" and "WoodenDoll" to post explicit pictures on the Texas-based bulletin board.

Authorities said the men were initiated into the password-protected site by posting graphic photos of child pornography and had to continue posting pictures to maintain access.

"This network was reserved for your most serious traders of child pornography and boy lovers," said U.S. Atty. Andre Birotte Jr.

Birotte said one of the most disturbing items investigators found was a "handbook project," a forum used to groom adult men interested in pursuing boys. Another disturbing find included a picture of a 9-year-old boy with Down syndrome being abused.

The "Lost Boy" group is charged with the "advertisement, transportation, receipt and possession of child pornography," according to a federal indictment.

1. wow. defendents include "a Phoenix-based pediatric anesthesiologist"

Those kids who were abused will never be the same again. What is infuriating is these child molesters barely get any time in jail for destroying the lives of these innocent children.

These stories are truly heartbreaking.

5. I'm hoping that vigilante bands

are using the "To Catch a Preditor" tactics, and not playing catch and release, like the cops do.

There isn't a place in a hell hot enough that the most vengeful version of a deity ever thought up on this planet could make for a child predator.
