I think it is very enlightning in how they manage to stay out of the picture. And how it works. And how "normal" those perpetrators look. They meet via via on fora and are led to secret parts of websites that sometimes look quite normal. The lot of the material is encrypted and very hard to break. It take weeks not to say months for ICT experts to decrypt.
I don't want to think about how many of those monsters are on the loose. And how many children are victims and marked for the rest of there live.

The internet that has given us (speaking for myself!) ordinary folks a voice and access to information, has also given sick paedos a channel for contacting each other, sharing information and making money out of child abuse.

In the late 1990s I identified 2 children whose images were taken from an international paedo web site, while I was working in child protection. It was very sad because I had known the family for a long time. One of the boys went to school with my daughter and it was always him or my daughter at the top of the class. He showed great promise at school. The grandchild of a famous author, he was marked for a bright future. In the week that the A Level results came out and my daughter was top A Level student at her school, this lad was diagnosed schizophrenic and has remained in a secure psychiatric hospital ever since. When I knew him, he was a very quiet, sensitive child.

Robert M. tried to hang himself
Riga monster want to die
by Johan van den Dongen, Bart Olmer

Robert M., Amsterdam vice prime suspect in the case, wants only one thing: death. In his cell, the Monster of Riga took multiple suicide attempts.

This is stated by sources within the investigation. The 27-year-old, who is now two weeks in custody is under constant surveillance. Those involved say that M. is "a moron"; he regularly undresses in his cell. Several times M. tried to hang himself.

Oil slick

Police are upset with the specific child pornography images that are currently being investigated. The team fears that the true extent of the sex scandal is much bigger. Sources speak of an "expanding oil slick”.

Next to Robert M. suspicions are rising against the two arrested Richard O. spouse of Robert M. (37) and his colleague Edwin R. (39). Based on interrogations of M. the number of children directly involved in the sexual case is now revised to 64. That number could still rise. Because of the size of the case detectives specialized in abuse cases from across the country are called in on assistance of the Amsterdam police force.

Next to posession of child pornography, M. 's husband Richard O. is now also suspected of distributing child pornography pictures and "physical assault and abuse acts with a child," said Justice. This fornication in 2002 would have been with a boy of eleven at the time. Justice has stressed that this case is is not linked to the crèche case. The victim recently reported to the police. Next to having webcam sex with minors Edwin R. is now also suspected of possession of child pornography. "It is yet a small number of images in which children can be seen in the age of twelve years of age," said Justice.

Police and justice are investigating a previous report abuse on kindergarten director Albert Drent, who during eight months from mid-1994 worked as group leader at the nursery Kameleon, part of the Welfare Foundation Baarsjes. The then Board fired him because of "unacceptable behavior" made a statement at the Public Health Service and even reported to the police. Drent was never convicted. The personnel files of that time are now destroyed. Drenthe ex-wife, Magda Raaphorst, says her former husband gave another statement about his departure, namely a breach of trust. Raaphorst introduced her husband at that time as co-director of daycare it Hofnarretje and performed many years with him in charge until a few years ago they broke up and parted company.

Drent, now retained, has hired a crisis manager. Last night Drent worked at home in The Hague along with professional spokesperson to a statement to publish later this week.

Justice Drent doesn’t suspect Drent to be currently involved in the sexual abuse on the Amsterdam creches. Drent resigned last week as director of it Hofnarretje after he came under fire for lying about a lack of supervision. About chief suspect Robert M. is now known that in 2002 he was dismissed as a volunteer at a nursery in the Latvian capital Riga. This happened even before he was send by the Lutheran church and a European exchange organization later that year to a nursery in Heidelberg, Germany. There he was caught in 2003 on the collection and dissemination of child pornography. Staff members were suspicious because M. volunteer often grabbed the hands of children and took young children on his lap.

Despicable. Just absolutely perverted. No wonder that man is trying to kill himself. He knows what he has done will lead to his having to face not only the courts, but the anger of many many people. So, having used and abused vulnerable children, he is now too cowardly to face adults who wish to bring the full force of the law to bear on him. I guess he realises that this will not only be the law on the statute books, but the law that ordinary criminals hand out to those who abuse children. Let him live to face his punishment.

Agreed. He has to face his punishment in prison (for the rest of his life I hope) were he will be "treated kind" by his fellow inmates.

It however is amazing to see for how long this man could practise his dispicable behaviour. How he managed to stay out of sight of justice.
And, he is not the only one.
They often starts with minor offenses which then grows bigger and bigger. The punishment also for minor offences with children involved can not be high enough IMO.
I uphold that in cases where children are involved there is no such thing as minor offences. It is nescessary thoroughly investigate even those who are in posession of indecent photographs with children and never ever let them out of sight.

Totally agree, Bebootje. Someone in possession of indecent photographs is colluding by creating a market for the abusers. As for how he managed to stay out of sight, I think this may be for the same kind of reasons that Marc Dutroux was able to carry on kidnapping and murdering and why the police, when they searched Dutroux's basement failed to hear the children's voices and investigate.

In my home town, a girl disappeared in the late 50s. A man who was on bail, charged with raping the babysitter, was living immediately opposite the police station, but he was never questioned. There is a death-bed statement from a colleague of that man, which is said to name high-ranking police officers and other officials, which has not been released after applications under the FOI Act.

Why are so many children abused by people in high places who use their status to evade justice? Is it coincidence that paedos get to those high places?

No, i think not.
It is a slck world we live in.

THE MIND BOGGLES AS TO WHOM IS INVIOLVED IN THIS INDECENT PICTURES OF CHILDREN BUSINESS.

Why are so many children abused by people in high places who use their status to evade justice?


They know they can get away with it so they all cover each others backs, if one goes down, they could all go down, they get into positions of power, government departments, the judiciary etc., which makes it so much easier for the abuse to be hidden. If anyone dares tries to question what is happening they are invariably labelled mentally ill, or a trouble maker, or in some cases allegedly bumped off, or thrown in jail on trumped up charges. Jersey is just one instance that springs to mind.
