A long article, but it's a great investigative piece.

Wow. That was a really, really depressing article. Very well-written, though, and a great example of how investigative journalism can benefit society.

That's awful, I will never understand why people exploit children like that.

[Apossum]

that was something else...really interesting that the reporter was the one who convinced him to get out of it, though the delivery of that point was kinda creepy :lol:

[LaseK]

heh, i was crying a bit at the end.

i'm really glad he got out of it though.

[YoshiFan1]

Sickening that stuff like that goes on

[zionoverfire]

That's pretty messed up.

That's pretty messed up.yeah, how fucking sick do you have to be to get off at a 13 year old boy jacking off?

anyways, now he seems to be recovering an is helping bring down a lot of those sick fucks,

it was a good article, nice find Cheapy

ya know, the more I think about it, the more I like the article. there should be more journalism like this-- not only exposing a sick corner of society, but also helping to remedy the problem, rather than sensationalize it.

the majority of the sick bastards were doctors, lawyers and other people that work with children. long read, but it was good.

When I was that age I'd never have done it for fear of someone finding out, pictures remaining available longterm or it getting out of control. But if I could have ensured it would have remained private and end when I stop doing it then I think I would have been more than willing to do that, especially with all the money I'd get. But, again, the downside would have stopped me. Though I can definately see why underage kids would do it, both for money and sexual kicks.

Though the article said a guy named "Upandc" posted on those websites. I typed that name into google and the sicko was a member of the website boylover.net (for an example of the type of topics on that site go here link (http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:emVytIABHT8J:www.boylover.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/4/6498/4.html++site:www.boylover.net+Upandc&hl=en)). He also posted on other teen websites. One topic was about when people first started masterbating, and there he was responding to that topic.

That was a good read. I hope they catch all the people who were part of this, and I hope the boy can live a normal life from here on out.

There are a bunch of these that can be found just by searching google. One is readily accessable to anyone (don't even need to register) and it has pictures of boys readily available. I'm not sure if they actually have nude images, as I only clicked one and realized these people were serious. The little kid was almost nude (genitalia covered up by another kid). It seemed more like innocent pictures that got into the wrong hands. I can't believe this stuff is so easy to find. It's disgusting.
