I see all the tactics they have against these beasts, but it does NOTHING for past or future victims. The images are forever in cyberspace. The offenders STILL get lenient sentences and are often released back into their hunting preserves. Anything less than "LIFE, without parole" does not even come close to the sentence they imposed on their victims.

As the mother of one, declined prosecution because the witness was TOO YOUNG, I know that out there are multiple disgusting images that I can NEVER erase.

You think " Hunting the Predators" is reassuring? Try living with OUR memories, with no hope of justice, ever.
Your film was good, because at least you didn't gloss over the fact that CYBERpics, not diamonds, are forever.

Considering the number of "white males" over the age of 25 that make and pass laws in parliament, how is justice ever suppose to be achieved when it comes to the sexual exploitation of children? When it comes to interpreting and enforcing those laws, we see the same problem. Could it be an attempt to protect their own kind? Could it be because they lack the nurturing quality women possess? We can never say for certain why sexual predators that prey on our children get off in our system of justice with nothing but a "slap on the wrist".

So, what can be done to ensure our children are not robbed of justice? Perhaps we, as mothers, as parents, must begin to make the government more accountable when it comes to designing law and policies. Our children cannot speak out for themselves, and even if they tried, the government would not listen. It is up to us, as mothers, as parents, to speak out for our children.

Another thing that parents can advocate for is an expedited process for the development of a more socially diverse government. There would be remarkable change in terms of justice if we had equal representation of people that make and pass laws that are women, minorities, Aboriginal, and people from different age groups. Our policies and our laws would then embody the values and beliefs of our country rather than the values and beliefs of those that normally hold power.

Canadians need to wake up, especially mothers and parents. We need to work together to protect our children. We need to ensure justice is served for the most vulnerable of our society; our children.

Congrats to Doc ZONE, Fifth Estate and Passionate Eye for bringing such great stories.

I'm not yet Canadian but living in here and as a father of a 18 months daughter I want to express my opinion about the child predators.

I was born and raise in a communist country with most of the population Muslim religion.

I know that to many people gonna shake their heads but to deal with these beasts we got to change a lot in this society. It takes more then a cuple of hundred great men and women in our forces.

First publish the name of the offenders in schools, local papers, churchies etc than toughen the lows more (life without parole) than cut their penis.

The most important to learn our kids the real values and idiols that shoud follow.TVs and other medias have to change their approach to the events around the our world and life.

PS. CBC is the only tv worthwatching.

Bonobos induct their offspring into sex at an early age, in later life it will be a means to offset aggression. Pack animals kill their litters if threatening conditions, such as famine, are imminent, or in some cases to climb in or maintain social status. Just two examples in the animal world of what, in humans, would be called "child abuse".

Humans are part of animal life on this planet and share a high percentage of our genetic and physical makeup with other mammals, particularly bonobos.

It is too easy to classify these acts as "beastly" and then not realise that we also are beasts.

In short, we must not be caught napping by thinking any such acts are unnatural and thus not to be expected amongst civilized humans. They are natural in the sense that they occur in nature, but they are abnormal for humans in the sense that they do not contribute to the well being of the species.

When they do occur amongst humans the bad effects can be amplified by human invention, technology, printing, photography, the internet, and it should be expected rather than stumbled upon after the fact.

As one of the felons said, it is something that is incurable, short of perhaps drugs or radical surgery.

Surely the key is to try to find out what triggers such behaviour in some and then try to prevent it at that level. Indeed, what suppresses it in the majority ?

Mythology and historical experience tells us that cutting off the head doesn't work, more sprout to replace it

After viewing this deeply disturbing film, I entirely agree with Julian Sher in advocating the term child pornography be changed to 'child exploitation images or media'.

I don't understand why there is not more outrage about this repulsive crime. When are the people of Canada going to demand some real changes in our lame justice system. 45 days for possession? It's a sick joke. These people are destroying not only the bodies but the souls of children.

I can only imagine that young woman's anguish in knowing that her torture is going to be replayed again and again for someone's sexual gratification.

These kids are your neighbours, your nieces and nephews, your own children. I know because I was one of them and I came very close to spiraling down into an alcoholic morass just to numb the reality of what had happened as so many adult survivors do.

I have only acute admiration for the courageous officers who have to view these heart wrenching scenes day after day.

Step 1 - 10 years without parole for those possessing/sharing child exploitation images. The abusers should be made to pay for their victim's counseling.
Step 2 - Huge fines for Internet Providers of these persons and immediate shutting down the sites when discovered.
Step 3 - Use this money to get these children the help they require.

It may be an unspeakable crime but we need to speak of it; an aggressive television campaign to enforce the reality that this is a horrendous crime and to harm a child in this way will never ever be acceptable in society as well as encouraging young children to speak out if they are being abused.

Thank you so much for exposing this shameful worldwide deviation which sadly too many people choose to think does not exist.
