LTRP Note: We post this disturbing news article by Associated Press because there are still many people who do not believe child sex abuse and child pornography is an outrageously huge epidemic. Child pornography is a multi-billion dollar “industry.” And please pray for all of the children who were victimized by the 72 people arrested.

Secretary Janet Napolitano said Wednesday a 20-month law enforcement effort called Operation Delego targeted more than 600 Dreamboard members around the world for allegedly participating in the private, members-only Internet club created to promote pedophilia.

At a news conference at the Justice Department, the attorney general called the criminal activity a “nightmare” for the children” and said that some of the children featured in the images and videos were just infants.

And please protect your children and grandchildren.
