It has been my contention for years that when it comes to law enforcement, their real mission is not one of protecting and serving the people of a community, but is a mission that involves the protecting and serving of money, of finance, of businesses and their particular assets. The typical example I have used has been police departments who spend the majority of their time patrolling the centers of commerce in a community (such as the mall and shopping districts) whilst at the same time being conspicuously absent in residential areas. Tonight, I find a much more compelling and disgusting example. I have posted a portion of the piece from the Register below, but make sure you follow the source and read the entire thing.
Now, when it comes to crimes against children, I have absolutely no compassion for the convicted criminal, and would probably be one of the first to grab a large rock and bash in his or her head, but I have come to view with a significant degree of suspicion any laws or "efforts" specifically targeting the "protection" of children, as well as allegations of child abuse and neglect that are put forth by law enforcement and child protective services, because I think many times laws and allegations are simply a means by which to gain additional power and authority over the people, or are used to to discredit someone or some thing. Abuse, as such, runs rampant within the Beast system. The most recent and vivid example I can produce at the moment is the State of Texas and it’s crimes against the children of the FLDS.
The government does NOT care in the least about protecting our children; in fact, they will use and abuse the very children they claim to be so concerned about if it suits their purposes. Their only concern is the acquisition, protection and promulgation of their own power and authority. To the degree to which you interfere with this process is the degree to which they will show "care" for you, otherwise they couldn’t care less about you, or your children. I think the piece below illustrates this rather well.
O LORD, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? Or cry to you "Violence!" and you will not save?
Why do you make me see iniquity, and why do you idly look at wrong? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise.
So the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; so justice goes forth perverted.

As former moderators for an internet relay channel dedicated to hacking, Francine Campbell and Sterlin Ward have seen some of the net’s darker quarters. But nothing prepared them for their group’s encounter with an internet pedophile who called himself Digerati.
After the hacker repeatedly propositioned channel members as young as 13 to engage in graphic webcam sex, Campbell and Ward alerted the FBI and officials at the University of Pennsylvania, where Digerati attended classes and got his internet access. Digerati – whose real name is Ryan Goldstein – was eventually prosecuted, but the experience left the channel elders – and some law-enforcement experts – critical of what they characterize as a Faustian deal
In exchange for Goldstein’s help prosecuting seven cases involving botnets, federal prosecutors agreed to charge him with a single misdemeanor hacking charge for damage he inflicted on a University of Pennsylvania server. In October, he received just three months in prison (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/10/22/child_abuse_charges/) despite being caught with about 1,000 images of child pornography.
For Francine Campbell, Sterlin Ward, and others on the #ssgroup IRC channel, it was a bitter lesson in the vagaries of crime and punishment in the digital age.
"I think protecting kids would be way more important than monetary damages to a server," says Ward, a 35-year-old networking analyst who took an early stand against Goldstein’s online grooming of underage members. "I felt that he was going to eventually find a kid that was close enough for a meetup."
Ronald Levine, a Philadelphia-based attorney representing Goldstein, issued the following statement: "Mr. Goldstein denies this allegation. He admitted the misdemeanor computer intrusion conduct with which he was charged; he received a probationary sentence; and he is committed to moving forward with his life productively."
But Goldstein’s former online associates stand by the accusations, and they presented emails and chat logs that appeared to back them up. In their minds, the episode shows the sometimes misplaced priorities of law enforcement and university administrators.
