Dozens arrested after global child porn sweep

It was called Dreamboard and it has now led to multiple arrests and the collapse of an international child abuse ring..

The site hosted images of child porn. The children being victimized were in obvious, and intentional, pain..

Servers disguised the users’ real identity.. 

The kids were 12 and under in many cases.. A number of countries were involved.. 72 were arrested after the sweep..

Court papers allege that participants who molested children and created new images of child abuse were placed in a “Super VIP” category that gave them access to the entire quantity of child abuse on the bulletin board.. Government officials even said that some who were on the site were infants.. 

INFANTS.. This is what humanity is capable of.. this is what humanity can do. This is disgusting and horrid.. and very real. 72 less creatures now roam freely to rape and pillage the most innocent on earth.. but so many more are out there to terrorize children across this globe.. 

Attorney General Holder said this on others across the earth involved with child porn: We will find you, we will stop you, and we will bring you to justice. We pray he’s right and will follow up and bring degenerates to justice wherever they are.

Just friends? Not if you're a teacher and student in Missouri

Now in Missouri, teachers have been banned by law from becoming social media friends with students in Facebook and any other platform that exists.. Teachers are now, by state edict, not permitted to be friends with students online—I suppose even if the students asks. Even more interesting in the new law: "Teachers also cannot have a non work-related website that allows exclusive access with a current or former student"

Some are applauding the ban, others worry about the long term repercussions. It will be more interesting see what states follow with their own regulations..

The amazing Vesta: New amazing images of the surface of asteroid Vesta are leaving scientists stunned at what they are seeing.. They will have years of images to think.. ponder.. analyze.. and study.

You will most likely be shocked too—if you even see them.. The team does not plan to post raw images online as other NASA missions have done. Instead, there will be just one picture released daily.

One picture daily? …that’s all? … Don’t know about you, but I certainly feel left out

…and before anyone was able to catch their collective breath, the calender turned a page and it became August.. With the summer nearing an end, the great people of earth reached for the stars, hoped for the best, and rallied together for a few more picnics, adult beverages, and laughs under the stars.
