The Pedophile's Blog

Numerous bloggers are writing about Jack McClellan's blog on which he openly admits to being a pedophile, but defends his actions by stating that he hasn't "done" anything yet [see next]: Jack McClellan, 45, who calls himself a pedophile but says he has never sexually touched a child, has created Web sites in Seattle and Los Angeles detailing how and where he trolls for children.

I am a proponent of our Constitution and certainly support the First Amendent and our right to freedom of speech, but I find it difficult to accept that injurious material is allowed on the internet under the auspice of public domain.   "It is an interesting case," said Eugene Volokh, a law professor and First Amendment expert at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Professor Volokh cited a federal statute that bars the posting of bomb-making information on the Web, and suggested that a similar statute banning information that helps people find children to molest could be enacted, perhaps. But simply providing information about where children gather was not likely to constitute such a crime, he said.

In terms of children's images, he said: "The general rule is pictures of people in public are free for people to publish. Now if it is without permission and the person is a child and he suggests the children are sexual targets, you can imagine a court saying this is a new First Amendment exception. But it would be an uphill battle."

The plight of those opposed to sites such as McClellan"s will be a difficult road. While posting pictures of children in sexual situations is a felony, posting them fully clothed in everyday situations is not, even in the context of sexualizing them by proxy, so to speak, First Amendment scholars said. Further, while inciting others to commit crimes can be illegal, it is unclear whether giving people links to children's book fairs is criminal.

I strongly believe that it is the responsibilty of law makers and citizens combined to resolve this type of problem. Can we, in good conscience, allow such  sites to flourish and qualify their content as allowable under the Constitutional right to freedom of speech?   

I would like my readers to leave me comments on this issue.  Specifically, possible resolutions and opinions would be welcome.  I want to know how other people feel about this issue and about other sites analogous to Mr. McClellan's .

True we have the freedom of speech, though I believe children have or should have the freedom of growing up in security. Not having to fear other adults besides their parents. This is very shaming to our social structure. While others may hate this person, Im going to pray for him.

If Jack can have a pedophiles “how to” locate children guide, in the spirit of free speech, our ultimate "how-to" locate a child lover guide is the counter balance.

You feeders of destruction will meet your maker one day. It will not be pleasant as your souls rot with your corpses. Those of us who suffered and had our images taken and our lives changed will face you on the otherside. We will rise, while you all who enjoy the misery will wish you could die. You are what you eat. This includes the imagery infecting you through your eyes. Commit HarryCarey and you may be forgiven.

The permanent solution for Sexual Predators and Pedophiles is castration. Better for them and better for society. This is a cost effective and humane solution.

There is no need to keep these people in jail for years. A simple visit to a vet and the problem is solved. As a bonus you never have to worry about them returning to society or living in your neighborhood. Talk about a good deterrent..
