Police in Ocala, Florida, USA has arrested a 60 year old man, Arthur Barnett, for having Child porn in his Facebook page.
What is noteworthy is that when the deputies went to his home to arrest him, he immediately confessed to having 36 images on website, and in folders on his computer in bedroom. He even cooperated with the deputies to reach the location where the images were stored on PC; and coolly answered all the probing questions, like “from when he is watching child pornography?” and “when was the last time he watched child porn?”.
In short, the man behaved much like a typical pedophile who lives in any neighborhood, just like a normal man; but secretly living a life, that is dangerous to kids living around, or elsewhere.
The fact that a person (can be a man or a woman) who has an affiliation to child porn OR has pedophile/child abuse tendencies is so hard to nail down from the appearance he presents to the outside world (he will appear just like a person, who loves kids and is great with neighbors, helping, generous etc.); makes pedophiles so dangerous.
In this particular case too, when detectives asked Barnett about the pictures, he said he had been looking at child pornography for about two years. He told police that the last time he looked at it was the night before. Detectives said Barnett had been posting child porn on Facebook from November through January. In addition, Barnett was using alias for his Facebook account, which was typical of pedophiles, which took police some time to get to him. But thanks to technology, detectives successfully managed to track Barnett down. They traced his account to the email address olelovingman59@live.com and finally reached his home to reveal to the world his secret life.
Barnett is now facing 25 child pornography charges, and his bail was set at $250,000.
A note to parents:
With technology becoming so accessible and easy to use, more people are always susceptible to getting close to their base tendencies, child pornography is one among them. The fact that pedophiles are so normal in their outside behavior; it’s hard to segregate them in our societies. Hence the onus lies on parents to teach their kids how to spot such a person. Here are a few Tell-all signs of a pedophile:
1) The person makes improper touches to kids
2) Mixes more with kids than his own peer group
3) Cracks jokes/ or speaks stuff to the kid, improper to his/her age
4) Shows graphic content that is improper for the kid
5) Gives money to kids without the knowledge of their parents
6) Tells the kid to act obscene or perform inappropriate acts
If a child encounters any of the above behaviors, then it’s the parents whom the kid should inform first, and without any delay. In addition there are 10 Things you should tell to your Facebook using kid, to save yourself from bad parenting.
