Child exploitation websites 'crashing' during coronavirus amid sharp rise in reported abuse - ABC NewsFederal law enforcement agencies are deeply concerned by a surge in child abuse reports, as well as a sharp increase in people accessing child exploitation material online during the coronavirus health crisis. What does it truly say about our digusting & broken society? These are, mostly, men who show their families, friends, a totally different face & live amongst us. Anyone who harms a child in this or any way should face a mandatory life or death penalty in my book. Parasites. Once again disgraceful ABC reports a crucial issue in society, long after most of the lockdown are getting removed. WHY NEVER TALKED ABOUT SUCH CRUCIAL ISSUES AMIDST THE USELESS LOCK DOWN? Should do a story into older Australian men who specialise in human trafficking & child abuse in Australia and South East Asia. It's horrific, disgusting and vile. It will shock and educate the public that 'other cultures' & 'immigration' aren't the biggest danger to our safety.
