To all the parents freaking out about images of their children stolen from facebook and then passed around in shady "girl admirers" groups populated by old men. To everyone that mull over whether a Swedish citizen should be punished in Sweden for sexually abusing children in Thailand. To those who wrestle with the legalities of images that are traded over the web and whether one should apply big brother style laws to watch over what is traded and by whom. To anyone who has pondered "did the market induce the abuse, or merely inspire the recording of it?" Please read Girl "Misty" testament on how she, as one of the most traded 4-year starlets in child pornography images, feels today about those pictures. I double dare you not to cry.
Please think about me and think about my life when you sentence this person to prison. Why should this person, who is continuing my abuse, be free when I am not free?
