From the Publisher
Marketing
Services (Atl.) Ltd.
1-800-561-4422
The topic of this year’s publication has to be among the worst topics that we have ever focused
on in all the years of publishing the Police Association of Nova Scotia’s Annual Crime Prevention
Guide. We hope that this publication helps to enlighten those not familiar with this tragic
subject by exposing the existence of a very real societal problem… Child Pornography.
At one time, Child Pornographers traded hard copy photos and literature, but now, as a result
of technology, they are taking advantage of easy Internet access into our very homes, making
it easier for them to prey upon our children. The frequency of offences is also increasing as we
constantly hear in the news of more and more predators being caught, and for everyone that is
caught, unfortunately many are not. It is an alarming problem and one of the real dangers
lurking on today’s Information Highway.
However, as these sick predators do use the Internet to lure their prey, the Internet is also being
used by dedicated law enforcement professionals to help identify offenders. Special Law
Enforcement Task Forces and Internet Safety Groups that are proactively working to end the
sexual abuse of children are to be commended for their vigilance and for the courage and
strength that is required of them to carry out their mandates.
Please take the time to review the material that we’ve assembled in our 36th Annual Crime
Prevention Guide, however, be aware that the information contained herein is merely a fraction
of the resources available on this tragic subject.
We welcome your comments or suggestions concerning our publication, and wish to thank all
the citizens and business community members of Nova Scotia who help make this annual
publication possible. Education awareness, and awareness is the first step to finding solutions.
Respectfully,
Mark Fenety
President
Fenety Marketing Services

This guide was proudly assembled and published by Fenety Marketing Services, with the help and co-operation of the

The 2nd Annual Bruce
Miller Golf Tournament
It is our sincere wish to invite you to join us on June 18th, 2007 at
the Constable Bruce Miller Memorial Golf Tournament.
Bruce was killed on May 16th, 2004 by an impaired driver. The
crash occurred in Caledonia, P.E.I. where Bruce was enjoying a
little time off during a dog hunting trial. He had been working as a
police officer in Springhill, N.S., where he was the police liaison at
the schools. He was devoted to the community and helping youth.
No one could foresee what the careless disregard of one young
man, the thoughtless drunk driver, would do to Bruce, his family,
friends, coworkers and community. It's a loss we all share.
Const. Bruce Miller
Since his death we have been very involved with MADD (Mothers
Against Drunk Driving) and have benefited a great deal from their
support and the opportunity they have given us to stop this
senseless and unnecessary crime.
Now we have an opportunity to help a little, to continue his work with youth. To get the
message to kids that Drunk Driving Must Stop! We are asking for your help. Please join us
as a sponsor, golfer or prize donor. All support is greatly appreciated.
Last year's tournament was a resounding
success, raising $9,650 for MADD
Cobequid.
We know that Bruce would approve and
love to see us all get together again in
his memory... to celebrate his life and
continue his work.

the man most responsible for the success of these games, and to Paul LeBlanc for all his
assistance in putting the Tim Horton team together. Both Brian and Paul have been
instrumental in organizing these events over the past 11 years along with Fenety Marketing

greatly appreciated and on behalf of PANS we would like to express a sincere thank you to
you both.

Cst. Jennifer Russell, Mayor Carroll Publicover, Cst. Ward Beck
In Novernber 2005 the Bridgewater Police Department
implemented the Heart Safe Program becoming the
first municipal police service in Nova Scotia to have all
their marked police vehicles equipped with an
Automated External Defibrillator. This program was
made possible by the generous contributions of many
community groups such as:
Kiwanis Club - Golden"K"
Masons Acadia Lodge
LaHave Lodge
Central Nova ATV Club
Legion Bridgewater
Rotary Club of Bridgewater
Atlantic Rebekah, Lodge
Paramedic Dave Wynn training
On April 19, 2007 this program proved invaluable
when a 79-year-old Bridgevvater resident suffered a
sudden cardiac arrest while driving on Dufferin Street.
Cst. Ward Beck became aware of the accident and he
and Cst. Jennifer Russell arrived on the scene within
minutes. Cst. Beck immediately recognized the female
driver had no pulse and was not breathing. He removed
her from the vehicle while instructing Cst. Russell to
get the defibrillator from the police vehicle. As Cst.
Russell prepared the device D/Cst. Trevor Mitchell
arrived on scene and attached the device to the female
and administered a shock to her heart. Cst. Beck provided respirations while Cst. Russell did chest compressions. Paramedics arrived and another 2 shocks
were delivered to the female.
The female regained a positive pulse and was breathing
on her own when they arrived at the hospital. The next
day she was fully alert and had suffered no adverse
effects. The emergency doctor at the hospital credited
the fast use of the automated defibrillator as a main
contributing factor in this positive outcome.

The realities of substance
abuse in youth
Home and school seminar helps to educate concerned parents, educators.
By Patrick Hirtle - [email protected]
COUNTY - Substance abuse among youth is still
very much a problem in Canadian society and, for
parents, the best weapon against drugs and alcohol
may be knowledge.
That was the message expressed on November 27,
when representatives from Addiction Services, local
police and the Bridgewater Home and School
Association met with concerned parents and
educators at Bridgewater Junior/Senior High School
to talk about substance abuse.
The local Home and School federation's role came out
of a national movement initiated by the Canadian
Home and School Federation (FHS).
The program, called DrugWise Parents, ins parents to
educate their parental peers with credible information
about substance abuse and how to identify and avoid
potentially troubling problems with their children.
Ultimately, it is hoped some 12,000 parents across the
country will participate in The DrugWise program.
PATRICK HIRTLE PHOTO
Bridgewater Police community liaison officer Cst. Christine Bonnell talks
with parents and educators who had many questions about how to
identify specific types of drugs.
Sandra Himmelman, a trained facilitator with the
CFHS's DrugWise Parent program, said an effective
means of prevention of substance abuse is education and
understanding the multiple consequences of drug use.
because they’re a peer group and ‘everybody uses.’”
Cst. Christine Bonnell, the community liaison officer for
Bridgewater Police, also walked through physical
descriptions of drugs with the parents and educators in
attendance.
"Basically, parents need to know and want to know," she
said. "Youth have difficulty relating to long-term effects,
[so] we want to emphasize short-term and, preferably,
social consequences rather than long-term effects when
providing drug-specific information."
Despite recent and real concerns about drugs such as
crystal meth and OxyContin, Ms. Himmelman said the
most common problems associated with substance abuse
in teens still relate to alcohol, cannabis and tobacco use.
Scott Priske, a counsellor with Addiction Services who
was invited to speak at the session, seconded Ms.
Himmelman's characterization of substance abuse in Nova
Scotia's youth.
According to Mr. Priske, the last major survey conducted
among Grade 7, 9, 10 and 12 students in Nova Scotia in
2002 indicates that 23 per cent of students had used
cigarettes or tobacco products, 36.5 per cent had used
cannabis and more than 51 per cent of students surveyed
admitted to having used alcohol at least once in the year
prior to the survey.
Ultimately, Mr. Priske said, in order to avoid perils of
susbtance abuse, it’s critical for parents to take an active
interest in their children’s lives.
“We know that they tend to overlop categories,” Mr.
Priske said. “[And] we know that more students don’t use
than do – and that’s a hard thing to convince them of,
“Although parents may sometimes feel they are not able to
reach their teen, research shows that over the long term,
they have the strongest influence on their child”
Cst. Bonnell explained that students can get access to
dangerous substances through connections at school, over
MSN and even at the mall.
And, she said, that includes the harder and more
dangerous drugs.
“Crack and cocaine is very popular, and marijuanna is
still, as well,” she said. “The problem with marijuanna and
drugs is trying to convict them. If someboy comes and
they’ve got alcohol on their breath...it’s pretty easy to
prove that.”
But, with drugs, she added, “It’s kind of hard to prove it if
they’ve just had a little bit of something and there’s no
odour.”

Truro couple running for Team
Diabetes in The Rome Marathon
By Jason Malloy - Truro Daily News
Colchester County, Wednesday, October 19, 2005
JASON MALLOY PHOTO
Rick and Angela Hickox will be running The Rome Marathon this March to raise funds for diabetes research and
education. The couple will hold an auction Saturday to help raise some of the funds needed to participate.
A Truro couple will be running for a good cause in Europe
this winter.
Rick and Angela Hickox will be part of Team Diabetes
running The Rome Marathon in March. It is Angela's third
marathon and Rick's first.
Angela's encouragement and a personal connection helped
convince Rick to get involved.
"My 10-year-old nephew was recently diagnosed with
type-two diabetes," said Rick, a Truro police officer.
Jacob receives up to four needles each day and Rick said
he has devoted his fundraising efforts to help find a cure
for the disease.
"It's a great way to have fun, train and raise money for a
great cause," said Angela, a Central Nova Scotia
paramedic.
The couple has been running various races this year across
the province in preparation for the 26.2-mile marathon.
And Rick has steadily improved his time.
"He's faster than me and I've been running for six years,"
said Angela, who's looking forward to the Rome run. "We
start in the Coliseum and end in the Coliseum."
The couple is holding a charity auction on Saturday at
Kegger's Alehouse to help raise the $5,900 they each must
contribute. More than 50 items, donated by local
businesses will be up for auction.
"They've been very supportive of the effort," Rick said.
The list of items includes hotel accommodations, jewelry
and green fees at local golf clubs to clothing and restaurant
gift certificates.
Prize viewing starts at 4 p.m. with the auction starting at
4:30 p.m.
Angela added the community, businesses, family and
friends have made the run possible.
"We wouldn't be able to do it without their support," she
said.

Parkinson’s patient takes fight
on personnally
Valley woman has made it her mission to raise funds for research
BY PAUL PICKERAM
PAUL PICKERAM
Theresa Digiacchino, left, is shown Sunday with participants in the annual Parkinson
Society Maritimes Superwalk in Kentville. Ms. Digioacchino has organized walks in
the Annapolis Valley to raise money for research since she was diagnosed with
Parkinson’s five years ago.
KENTVILLE - Five years ago Theresa Digioacchino was
diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Since then, she has
worked tirelessly to raise awareness of the challenges of
living with the debilitating neurodegenerative disorder
and to raise money for research she hopes will find a cure
very soon.
“It’s a devastating disease,” he said. “It breaks your heart.
She has an amazing spirit that has not been broken by the
disease, but physically it has made a dramatic impact on
her life. It’s hard to watch and you wish there was more
you could do.”
“I decided then I’m not going to sit around and get
depressed,” she said in an interview Sunday. “I’m going to
do something about it.”
But Mr. Tupper said the Superwalks do more than raise
money and awareness – they let Parkinson’s patients and
their families know people care.
For the past five years, she has spearheaded the annual
Parkinson Society Maritimes Superwalk in locations
around the Valley to raise research dollars and to bring
Parkinson’s sufferers and their families and friends
together. This year’s event was held in Kentville on
Sunday, with upwards of 50 people of all ages running or
walking to raise money.
“It’s helpful to know other people support you,” he said.
“It took a lot out of me this time,” she said of the months
of preparation. “But I don’t want it to end.”
“It’s our signature event,” she said in an interview. “It
gives Parkinsonians a voice.”
She said several people in her family have had
Parkinson’s, which has drastically affected her life.
Ms. Digioacchino said her motto is the same as that of
Michael J. Fox, the celebrity activist for Parkinson’s
research.
“I don’t want to see my kids like this,” she said. “If one of
them gets this, I want there to be a cure.”
Bruce Tupper of Kentville was on hand to support the
event. His sister-in-law, Pauline Tupper, is a Parkinson’s
sufferer.
Last year 15 Maritime communities hosted Superwalks,
raising over $80,000 for research and services.
Parkinson Society Maritimes spokeswoman Judy
Robichaud said events were to be held Sunday across the
Maritimes and Canada.
“He’s not stopping. He’s going to keep going until the cure
is found,” she said. “It’s almost here.”

Police officers cited for bravery
Governor General presents medals
BY LISA BROWN [email protected]
COUNTY– Three police officers from Lunenburg
County received medals of bravery from Gov.
Gen. Michaelle Jean in Ottawa October 13.
Cst. Terry Brekker and Cst. Danny MacPhee of the
Bridgewater Police and Cst. Greg Keeler, who was
formerly stationed with the RCMP's South Shore
Traffic Services, were among 43 people decorated
for bravery at Rideau Hall. The medal is awarded
for acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances, in
this case recognizing that the three men risked
their lives to protect citizens from a gunman on
June 11, 2003.
Events began the previous evening after the
RCMP received a call from a relative concerned
about the mental health of Newcombville resident
Kevin Woodworth. Police spotted his SUV in
Bridgewater but Mr. Woodworth fled and officers
abandoned the chase.
The troubled man was located again the following
day, but in the course of the afternoon rammed a
police car and fired at officers during a pursuit
through Lunenburg and Queens counties.
Bridgewater Police got involved again after Mr.
Woodworth struck a car in town. Believing he may
be in the Marie Avenue area, officers headed in
that direction.

Three police officers from Lunenburg County received medals of
bravery from Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean in Ottawa October 13 for risking
their lives to protect citizens from a gunman in June 2003. Shown with
the Governor General are, from left, Cst. Terry Brekker of the
Bridgewater Police, Cst. Greg Keeler of the RMCP and Cst. Danny
MacPhee of the Bridgewater Police.
As Cst. Brekker rounded the corner onto Meldrum
Avenue, Mr. Woodworth rammed his police car head-on at
high speed. Although slightly injured by the impact,
Cst. Brekker grabbed a shotgun and joined Cst. Keeler,
Cst. MacPhee and fellow Bridgewater Police Cst. Jerome
Richard at a gravel pit near the town line.
It was there that Mr. Woodworth got out of his SUV with
a high-powered hunting rifle and began firing at the
officers. With no protection in the open area and a
populated area nearby, the constables laid on their bellies
and returned fire.
The gravel pit is next to a large apartment complex and a
number of houses. Many people were outside when the
shooting began, including children playing in yards.
Although they were in a very vulnerable position, the
constables kept Mr. Woodworth at bay until more officers
arrived.
The RCMP’s emergency response team surrounded the
pit a short time later. They exchanged fire with Mr.
Woodworth, who suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
Paramedics took him to South Shore Regional Hospital,
where he died within the hour.
A joint investigation by Halifax Regional Police, the
RCMP and Bridgewater Police determined that all officers
involved in the pursuit and shootout acted appropriately.
The event led the province to purchase new
communications equipment to allow municipal police
departments throughout Nova Scotia to communicate
freely with the RCMP as needed. At the time, Bridgewater
Police could not access the RCMP’s frequencies.
Cst. Richard was also awarded the medal of bravery. He
was unable to attend Friday’s ceremony.
Cst. Keeler has since transferred from this area.

Code Black:
Youngest students of the Chignecto Central School Board experience most
serious of evacuations – as a drill
BY SEAN KELLY The News
New Glasgow
Sept. 27, 06
The Grade Primaries, in single file, sang
their way back to Acadia Street School
during yesterday’s Code Black drill.
A little more depth than the usual fall drills,
the exercise was part of the Chignecto
Central Regional School Board’s Serious
Incident Response Codes program.
As part of the evacuation and relocation,
150 students and about 15 staff members
were moved down about three blocks to
St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic
Church, on High Street.
There, the children were rounded up and
head counts were taken. They returned to
the school, directed by staff and members
of the New Glasgow police.
“This would be the procedure if there were
a bomb threat, if there were hazardous
materials – if there were a smell (leak) in
the boiler room,” said Acadia’s school
principal, Mike Washburn.
Sean Kelly The News
Acadia Street School students return to classes yesterday afternoon
after participating in a Code Black - evacuation and relocation drill.
The Code Black drill, also the procedure to be followed
in cases of air contamination, a natural disaster or a
threat outside of the school, is a first for Acadia Street.
“It’s been excellent, and we’re pleased with the great
co-operation we’ve had with the police and fire
department.
Terri Mingo-MacNeill, spokesperson for the CCRSB,
said the bigger picture is the Serious Incident Response
program which couples dedicated lines for board
administration with Zero to 30 guide for school staff,
as well as colour-coded guides in each and every
classroom in the school board.
New Glasgow Police Service Const. Ken MacDonald,
who observed the drill, said the system gives
emergency personnel an added advantage in cases of an
emergency.
“We felt we needed to do more in the first 30 minutes,”
Mingo-MacNeill said.
Though they were a little excited to get out in the fall
sunshine, Washburn gives all the students taking part in
the drill passing grades.
“If we know what steps the school is taking, we don’t
waste resources trying to set that up,” he said.
“It lessens the trauma for staff and students and
increases the likelihood of success,” MacDonald said.

Speaking in Code
BY CAIT MCINTYRE
The News - Jan. 6, 07
NEW GLASGOW - The emergency response
system in place for the Chignecto-Central Regional
School Board can set an example for other schools
across the province.
r
-
-
n
That’s according to Halifax police Const. Mark
Young, who reviewed the school board’s Zero to 30
emergency response code when he met with
communications director Terri Mingo and Ken
MacDonald of the New Glasgow
Police Department in November.
e
“It’s a good foundation for a model
to be used across the province,” he
said.
l
r
c
-
Young was hired by the Department of
Education to review emergency plans
for all Nova Scotia schools in the
aftermath of the shootings at Dawson
College in Montreal last fall. He visited
with school boards province-wide to
see how they are prepared to deal with
different emergency situations, such as
intruders inside a school.
Other potential changes he said will be
made public after education officials receive his
security template.

Young called Zero to 30, which is a principal’s guide
for how to respond in the first 30 minutes of a
serious incident, a comprehensive, well-published
document. Moreover, he praised the team approach
used by the school board when developing it. School
board staff worked in groups and with emergency
agencies, such as the New Glasgow police, to
compose the document. He also said the school
board is willing to de-brief and re-evaluate the
document after every incident – something he said is
highly recommended.
I think it’s valid the way it is; they are well prepared
with the plan they have,” he said.
d
e
“I was very impressed with the amount of work they
put into it. Their emergency response system is
POLICE ASSOCIATION
OF
NOVA SCOTIA
He hopes to have a draft document completed by the
end of the month that will outline possible changes
school boards may want to make to their emergency
response plans. One of his recommendations is for
the province to develop a uniform way
to isolate students if an intruder enters a
school.
He also said a possible suggestion
could be for principals to use plain
language when announcing an
emergency situation over the
intercom, rather than the current
policy, which is to announce, for
instance, a “code red” (evacuation) or
“code blue” (lockdown). Principals
should simply tell teachers directly to
secure their classrooms rather than
speak in code, he explained.
r
,
among the most extensive I’ve seen anywhere in the
province.”

Meanwhile, Mingo said the school board’s
emergency response is an easy-to-use, step-by-step
guide. She said she’s proud of what they have
accomplished in establishing an emergency response
plan, but she added that she is looking forward to
getting feedback from Young.
Mingo isn’t predicting any major changes to the
current emergency system, though she said the staff
will meet after Young’s document is released to
discuss implementing some of his recommendations.
In the meantime, she has a few recommendations of
her own, and that includes creating an automated
communications system that’s tapped into the
student database.

New police team
on the streets soon
BY SEAN KELLY The News - March 1, 07
NEW GLASGOW - However contentious
borders are in this county, there is one group
that ignores them completely: drug traffickers.
They’ll be one of the primary focuses specific organizations and specific individuals
- of a seven-officer, multi-departmental police
team, which is slated to start its duties at the
beginning of April.
“That’s going to be our first area of
enforcement,” said New Glasgow police chief
Lorne Smith.
Its formation fills a niche in policing, which in
this county, has been without adequate
resources for a number of years. The unit will
also focus on organized crime.
Up until recently, the closest police
department able to dedicate a unit towards drug trafficking,
was Halifax.
“The information we’re obtaining
is that this was an area that was ripe
for enforcement because there
didn’t appear to be any fear of
being caught, and there didn’t
appear to be any fear for what
would happen if you did get
caught,” Smith said.
Smith said police in Pictou County have been able to make
headway, employing joint-force operations. A joint operation
between RCMP, New Glasgow and Trenton police
departments resulted in a drug bust
Monday. Police confiscated quantities
of crack cocaine, marijuana, cocaine
and ecstasy tablets in that venture.
But while they make a dent in the drug
scene, their effects aren’t always
permanent.
On a smaller level, police also
believe that a high percentage of
violent crimes, are in some way connected to drug use or
trafficking.
“In the past, we have done joint
forces operations, targeting specific
individuals in relation to illegal drugs - and they have been
successful.”
“One of the reasons why we identified the need (to focus on
drugs) - from the chiefs in Pictou County and myself - we’re
saying a lot of the break and enters, the thefts, are all related
to drugs. You go back to the drug user, wanting to supply his
or her habit,” said Staff Sgt. Ross Landry of the Pictou
County District RCMP.
But Smith adds, “You do your job, you reach that level of
success - and eight months later, your problem is right back
where it was.”
Beyond police, Landry said the community needs to speak
out about drugs in their area, “To say that we’re not going to
tolerate drugs in our community, illicit activity in your
community.”
“When there are drugs in the community, that’s because there
is a certain tolerance to allow it to be here.”
“We need the bad guys to know that if they perform their
function in Pictou County they’re going to be caught and
they’re going to be prosecuted. And they need to understand
that it’s not going to be a temporary thing.”
“And we’ll be going after them full bore.”
Smith, along with other municipal chiefs and members of the
Pictou County District RCMP will also strike a joint
management team to oversee the police unit. The unit will be
housed within the New Glasgow Police Services building.

Crime prevention groups unite
By Abby Cameron - Oct. 11, 06
The Pictou Advocate
PICTOU COUNTY: All of the crime prevention
associations in the county have combined to become the
Pictou County Municipalities Crime Prevention
Association.
Chaired by Bob McCauley, the newly formed PCMCPA is
prepared to step up and stamp out crime.
The new group was launched at a gathering at the North
Nova Education Centre in New Glasgow on Oct. 3, where
police chiefs for all forces and town officials were present.
Mr. McCauley said the group is the beginning of a new era
for the county.
"Many crime prevention groups have come and gone over
the years in Pictou County but now we gather as one
in a spirit of cooperation and partnership. We stand
collectively on the shoulders of those people who have
gone before us.”
Const. Ken MacDonald watches over New Glasgow Police Service Chief
Lorne Smith as he signs a proclamation to amalgamate the county’s crime
prevention associations into one county wide group. Westville Chief Don
Hussher, RCMP Staff Sergeant Ross Landry and Trenton Chief Don White
all signed the proclamation.
(Cameron photo)
Jim Ellsworth, the Atlantic Regional Manager of the National
Crime Prevention Association, said he hopes community
residents become involved for the long run.
"Crime prevention is not something that is static, it is
something that is evolving all the time," he said.
Mr. McCauley says he is confident the new association will
meet the needs of the community if a joint effort is taken.
"Often the question is asked, 'where does the government's
responsibility to the community end and the community's
responsibility to itself begin?' It's not always an easy question
to answer but I think that most of us realize the system works
best when we have a partnership that consists of the private
sector, the government, non-profit groups and the community
all pulling together towards a common goal."
Mr. McCauley credits a lot of a community's safety to its police
services.
''A major conflict bordering on a civil war continues to rage in
Afghanistan and Iraq. There is a fine line that distinguishes
Baghdad, Iraq, from Pictou County. A fine line that
distinguishes between anarchy and democracy, that fine line is
a thin blue line that represents the police services that serve and
protect," he said. ''Those people get up every day and put on the
uniform and step out into the street to walk that fine line
between anarchy and democracy to ensure the residents of
Pictou County the quality of life they so richly enjoy.”
Mr. Ellsworth agreed police services do make a difference and
reminded everyone not to see the cup as half empty.
"The public is constantly reminded that crime is all around us,
it presents itself in many ways, it costs a lot, and with that
constant reminder that crime is all around us, it's very easy to
forget that crime prevention does make a difference," he said.
"It affects the lives of real people, it keeps people out of the
criminal justice system and protects people who might
otherwise become victims."
The launch at NNEC will be the first step to a proactive
approach to crime prevention, and members of the towns and
police departments were on hand to lend their support.
Lorne Smith, Chief of New Glasgow Police Services, said he is
excited to work hand in hand with the other forces and with all
residents.
"It's important to know that the police is the community and the
community is the police,” he said.
Pictou County District RCMP S/Sgt. Ross Landry is proud of
the work accomplished by the police services and officials to
offer this new program.
"It’s not an easy task to bring everybody to the table and all
leave with a common vision and a common goal but we did it.
We are only as strong as the community allows us to be, and
we are strong. Our goal is to make a difference and we are all
committed to that and as a member of the RCMP, I am proud
to be part of this initiative."
A proclamation was signed by all chiefs and Staff Sergeant
Landry to officially pledge their support to the PCMCPA.

Municipalities combine to form
new crime prevention group
JENNIFER VARDY - THE EVENING NEWS
FEB. 16/06
Crime prevention initiatives from across Pictou County have united under a single association.
Representatives from each community have formed the Pictou County Municipalities Crime
Prevention Association. Committee members include, from left in the front, recording secretary Lisa
Landry, New Glasgow representative Karen Ackles, Barb Dewtie, co-ordinator of the Pictou County
Crime Prevention Association. In the back are RCMP district commander Ross Landry, Westville
representative Tom O’Brien and Const. Ken MacDonald with the New Glasgow Police Services.
There’s a new way to tackle crime prevention in Pictou
County.
Crime prevention initiatives from Pictou, the county,
Westville, New Glasgow and Trenton have integrated
their services under a newly formed group called the
Pictou County Municipalities Crime Prevention
Association.
The association will partner with the people of Pictou
County to prevent crime, added RCMP district
commander Ross Landry. "It will provide a unified and
strategically aligned crime prevention program to meet
demands and experiences of the community to provide
quality services," he said. "It will better position the
law enforcement communities to take a proactive
approach to crime prevention."
“The vision of this dynamic partnership is to streamline
and unify service delivery to become more effective
with Pictou County," said Const. Ken MacDonald with
New Glasgow Police Services.
The committee is still looking for volunteers,
particularly from Stellarton, which doesn't have a
representative at the moment.
The mission is to raise awareness and improve the
quality of life by creating safer communities through
education and reduction of crime opportunities, he
added.
People can get involved by calling their local police
department or by calling Barb Dewtie, co-ordinator of
the Pictou County Crime Prevention Association at
396-3855.

Eerily quiet for Halloween?
According to police it was one of the quietest Halloweens in years
BY SEAN KELLY
THE NEWS
Halloween just isn't what it used to be but,
that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Sure there's the fireworks, the eggs. There's
toilet paper and dish soap - all the
standards, but the pranksters appear to be
diminishing in number.
Some police in the county are reporting
one of the mildest-mannered October 31sts
on record.
"In my 14 years, I have never seen
anything like it," said Cpl. Al Affleck of
the Pictou County RCMP.
Aside from a minor incident in Thorburn,
both the town of Pictou and the county
were quiet as a mouse after trick-ortreaters went in for the night. There were
only a few bad eggs.
It was the same in Trenton, said Chief Bob
White. "It was excellent, actually - very
quiet.”
Sean Kelly The News
Const. Fred MacEwan of the New Glasgow Police Service with some of the
items confiscated from Halloween pranksters Tuesday evening.
"No charges were laid and the kids were moving along
- the main concern was groups of kids hanging in different areas, but they dispersed when we asked them to."
The only Halloween-related incident happened around
11p.m., White said, a fireworks-related incident.
Westville also reported a slow night - lots of trick-ortreaters but no charges.
In Stellarton, Police Chief Amby Heighton said by
10p.m., it was pretty much over.
New Glasgow was a slightly different story, said Const.
Ken MacDonald. At least 12 charges have been laid
against youth in the town, while other incidents,
including reports of someone firing either a pellet or a
paint gun are under investigation at present.
New Glasgow police confiscated the usual Halloween
toolbox - three cartons of eggs, dozens of unlit
fireworks, a paint gun, an empty bottle which smells of
paint thinner, cans of paint.
But when you count the good spooks from the bad, only
"zero point five per cent out of a hundred," are the
people causing the problems, MacDonald said.
Overall, he said trick-or-treaters were respectful, they
went in groups. Or, if they were alone, they went with
a parent. Few had a problem donning a glow stick or a
strip of reflective tape, which police handed out over
the course of the evening. By 9:30p.m., even the big
kids had made their way home.

Dog-gone good
JASON MALLOY
COLCHESTER COUNTY, JAN. 15, 2007
TRURO - He's been an integral part of Truro police's
investigative team helping putting criminals behind
bars.
But after five years on the beat, Will has decided to
hang up his badge. "One thing about Will is he was
always motivated," said Rob Hearn, the canine unit
handler.
Hearn and the German shepherd have been together
for about five years helping track criminals, locate
missing people and find evidence for investigations.
"He's a very affectionate dog and the bond started to
develop pretty quickly," Hearn said.
The handler remembers one case in Cape Breton a
few years back where Will helped convince a man
with a violent criminal record to surrender. As Hearn
prepared to harness Will up in preparations to track
the man, a whistle was heard coming from about a
kilometre into the woods. The suspect had heard Will
TRURO - Two Truro police officers are training pups
for a future career with forces across the country.
Seiger and his sister Silken are eight-week-old
German shepherds who arrived in Nova Scotia
Thursday from RCMP kennels in Innisfail, Alta. for
a year of development training called imprinting. The
pups are bred and raised specifically as police dogs.
Constables Jason Yhard and Elliott Hebb are the first
two officers from a municipal police force in Canada
to take the pups for imprinting.
From this time forward we will start to develop them
as potential police dogs, said Sgt. Rob Hearn, Truro’s
former canine handler, who help co-ordinate the
program. It’s a benefit for us because it widens our
availability of canine handlers within our department
and gives them an opportunity to see what is
involved.
barking and decided to give up saying, "just keep the
dog away from me."
The unit did more than 130 calls annually but it was
time for Will, the force's second canine, to retire
because of age. Const. Jim Moody has taken over
ownership of Will.
"I love dogs and German shepherds because they are
so smart," he said. Hearn, who has taken over as the
sergeant in charge of the force's criminal intelligence
division, said he enjoyed time in the canine section
and he has a bond that will never be broken with
Will.
"It's quite an experience to be a canine handler." New
Glasgow and RCMP canine units are covering Truro
until a new handler and dog are appointed.
[email protected]
Sgt. Marcel Guilbault, RCMP police service dog
section, said the dogs will be taught the basics so they
are well-rounded by the time they get to the training
stage. It works on being around people and in
different environments like malls and airports.
We work on his socialization. He’s got to be
level-headed, he said.
After the imprinting period the dogs go back to
Alberta and are assigned to a handler for an 85-day
training program and could end up anywhere in the
country.
It’s going to be hard, Hebb said, but I know she's
going to a good spot.

Pulling out all the stops
BY SEAN KELLY - THE NEWS
NEW GLASGOW
OCT. 20/06
School buses are back on the roads and
police want to make sure motorists are
paying attention to them.
This week marks School Bus Safety and
Awareness Week.
Constable Ken MacDonald of the New
Glasgow Police Service said the focus this
week will be on safety on and around school
buses.
Police will be making targeted patrols, not
only to curb the number of incidences of
cars failing to stop for a school bus with its
lights deployed, but also to increase student
safety on the bus.
“We want to make sure that students riding
on the bus are following proper
procedures.”
Sean Kelly The News
Elaine Delaney, Chignecto Central Regional School Board bus driver,
and New Glasgow Police Service’s Const. Robin Hatt pose for a
photo at North Nova Education Centre.
The week is a joint initiative between police and the Nova
Scotia Safety Council.
Failing to stop for a school bus with its safety lights on is
an offense under section 103(3) of the Nova Scotia Motor
Vehicle Act. The fine is $387.50, up $50 from last year.
MacDonald, quoting a survey on infractions of this type,
said in a two-week period in June, several hundred cases
of failing to stop were observed in Nova Scotia alone.

If you see child pornography,
Report it … Don’t Support It!
Look into the eyes of a child who has been sexually abused and you'll see pain - a pain that endures
long after the bruises have healed. This pain is compounded by child molesters who create images of
the sexual abuse and share them with other child molesters. They trade them in chat rooms and post
them on thousands of Web sites. These people are making money from the pain of children. Help
stop these dangerous criminals. If you see child pornography, report it. Please help make sure those
responsible get the punishment they deserve.
Just as the Internet has played an integral part in the resurgence of child pornography and child
sexual exploitation, the Internet has also now become the leading-edge tool in its demise. It is a
never-ending battle that is being fought by increasing numbers of law enforcement agencies,
government agencies, and Internet support groups. Together, the battle can be won.
The following section contains a minute sampling of information and resources available on the
Internet, including tips to avoid your children from becoming victims of exploitation, some of the
numerous organizations striving to eradicate the problem, and news stories.
As part of a public service campaign to help raise public consciousness and stop the growth of child pornography
online, wiredsafety.com has granted permission of the use of the front cover image to the Police Association of Nova
Scotia.

Child Pornography
Industry
Canada
industrie
Canada
The creation and distribution
of child pornography, once a
backroom industry, has been
radically transformed by computer
and digital technology. Hardware
such as digital cameras, video cameras and
Webcams combined with sophisticated software and
an Internet connection increases exponentially the
sheer volume of available product even while it
creates instantaneous access to that product. In
the borderless world that is the Internet, child
pornography has become a truly global industry.
Cheap admission to a vast, unregulated
international marketplace represents a stunning
benefit for purveyors of child pornography. First,
since their work is illegal, it has been, by definition,
clandestine. Second, the rate at which this
technology can be adapted and improved effectively
guarantees that the race to apprehend these
criminals will be rigorous, intense and ongoing.
International policing efforts over the past decade
confirm that the worldwide volume of child
pornography is extensive. Third, the Internet
currently provides purveyors with a degree of
anonymity.
Consumers of child pornography also enjoy
anonymity as an online benefit. The Internet creates
opportunities for consumers to seek and find not
only a product, but also a supportive community. In
numbers, there is not only safety but shared
information.
How does child pornography pose
a risk to Canada's youth and
children?
Indirectly, the widespread presence of child
pornography on the Internet confirms the existence
of an organized and mobilized community of
predators who regard the sexualized imagery of kids
POLICE ASSOCIATION

as instrumental to the satisfaction of their sexual
appetites. The ready availability of online imagery
promises to affirm and possibly increase these
appetites.
More directly, child pornography may also serve as a
tool in the arsenal of sexual predators who are
engaged in the business of "grooming" and "luring"
child victims. Here, examples of child pornography
may serve as proof to their prey that child sexuality
is "normal." Predators are also known to solicit
photos from children and youth. These photos
may then become an irretrievable part of an
international library of child pornography.
As always, the responsibility rests with adults to
educate children about these dangers and to be
proactive about supervising the Internet activities of
children and youth.

Canadian Background

Canada
Canada ratified the Convention on the
Rights of the Child (“CRC”) on
December 13, 1991 and in so doing,
underscored its commitment to children,
including its commitment to protect
them from all forms of harm, such as
child sexual exploitation.
Two years later, in 1993, the Criminal Code of
Canada was amended to include specific provisions
against child pornography. Further reforms to the
Criminal Code of Canada in 1997 made it possible to
prosecute Canadian citizens or permanent residents in
Canada for engaging in prohibited sexual conduct with
children outside of Canada (child sex tourism) and
strengthened the prohibitions and penalties for the
prostitution of children.
In 1996 and again in 2001, Canada joined the
international community in supporting the
Declaration and Agenda for Action at the First and
Second World Congress Against the Commercial
Sexual Exploitation of Children which calls on all
countries to take appropriate measures to prevent the
commercial sexual exploitation of children.
In 2002, the Criminal Code of Canada was further
strengthened to better protect children from sexual
exploitation. In particular, the child pornography
provisions were amended to ensure their application to
these offences committed through the use of the
Internet: new offences were created to criminalize
accessing, transmitting and making available child
pornography and to prohibit the use of a computer
system to communicate with a child for the purpose of
facilitating the commission of sexual offences (Internet
luring). These amendments also gave the courts the
power to shut down child pornography sites.
In 2004, A Canada Fit for Children, Canada’s
National Plan of Action for children was released. A
Canada Fit for Children was developed with
consultation from all levels of government, different
sectors of society and children. It summarizes
Canada’s commitment to children and identifies
meaningful ways that Canadians can improve the lives
of children in Canada and around the globe. It
provides strategies to address the sexual exploitation of
children including child pornography, child
prostitution and child sex tourism.
POLICE ASSOCIATION
OF
NOVA SCOTIA
67
In 2005, reforms to the Criminal Code of Canada
further strengthened the prohibitions against the
sexual exploitation of children including the child
pornography provisions (broadened the definition,
created a new offence against audio child pornography,
narrowed the defence and increased the penalties) as
well as increased the penalties for other child sexual
exploitation offences. Additional reforms which also
came into effect in 2005 created new offences to
prohibit the trafficking of persons, including the
trafficking of children for the purpose of sexual
exploitation. In September 2005, Canada ratified the
Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of
the Child on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution
and Child Pornography.
Finally in January 2006, additional criminal law
reforms came into effect to facilitate the receipt of
testimony by child victims and witnesses as well as
other vulnerable victims and witnesses in criminal
proceedings.
Responsibility for the criminal law and justice system is
divided between the federal and provincial/territorial
governments: the federal government is responsible for
the criminal law which applies across the country and
the provinces/territories are responsible for the
administration of the justice system in their
jurisdiction. Canada’s Criminal Code of Canada
provides a comprehensive set of prohibitions to protect
children from sexual exploitation including
prohibitions against:
• All sexual activity with young persons;
• Using the internet to communicate with a child for
the purpose of facilitating the commission of a
sexual offence;
• Possessing, making, distributing, transmitting,
making available and accessing child pornography
including through the use of the internet;
• child sex tourism; and
• Prostitution of anyone under the age of 18 years.

For all other child pornography offences, the
maxmimum penalty, on indictment, is ten years
imprisonment and the minimum penalty is one year
imprisonment. On summary conviction, the maximum
penalty is eighteen months imprisonment and the
minimum penalty is ninety days imprisonment.
These offences also apply to the distribution of child
pornography over the Internet, including via e-mail,
and by posting material on websites.
• Any visual representation that shows a person who
is or is depicted as being under 18 years of age and
is engaged in or depicted as engaged in, explicit
sexual activity;
• Any visual representation whose dominant
characteristic is the depiction, for a sexual purpose,
of a sexual organ or the anal region of a person
under 18 years;
• Written material, visual representation or audio
recording that advocates or counsels unlawful
sexual activity with a person under 18 years; or
• Written material or audio recording that has, as its
predominant characteristic, the description of
prohibited sexual activity with persons under 18
years where that description is provided for a
sexual purpose.
Canadian law also criminalizes luring a child over the
Internet. It is an offence to use a computer system,
such as the Internet, to communicate with a young
person for the purpose of facilitating the commission
of a sexual or abduction offence against that young
person. This offence carries a maximum penalty of
five years imprisonment, on indictment and six months
imprisonment on summary conviction.
• possess any child pornography;
• access any child pornography;
• make, print, publish or possess for the purpose of
publication any child pornography;
• transmit, make available, distribute, sell, import or
possess for the purpose of transmitting, making
available, distributing, selling or importing any
child pornography.
Child Prostitution
The Criminal Code makes it an offence to:
Recent reforms to the Criminal Code enhanced the
penalties for those convicted of child sexual
exploitation offences, including child pornography.
Individuals who have been convicted of a child
pornography offence will be sentenced to a mandatory
minimum period of imprisonment and are no longer
able to receive a conditional sentence (i.e., house
arrest).
The maximum penalty for possessing or accessing
child pornography on indictment is five years
imprisonment with a mandatory minimum penalty of
45 days imprisonment; the maximum penalty on
summary conviction is eighteen months imprisonment
with a mandatory minimum of fourteen days
imprisonment.

Luring
Child Sex Tourism
Child sex tourism is the practice of individuals who
travel to foreign countries to engage in sexual activity
with children. Canadian citizens or permanent
residents who engage in prohibited sexual activity with
children while abroad can be prosecuted in Canada for
these offences.
The Criminal Code prohibits prostitution involving
persons under the age of eighteen years of age. It is an
offence for a person to live on the avails of the
prostitution of a person under the age of eighteen.
This offence is punishable by a maximum penalty of
fourteen years imprisonment and by a minimum
penalty of two years imprisonment. The minimum
penalty is increased to five years imprisonment where
the young person has been compelled to engage in
prostitution through the use of or threats of violence,
coercion or intimidation.
The Criminal Code also prohibits a person from
communicating or obtaining for consideration the
sexual services of a person under the age of eighteen
years. This offence carries a maximum penalty of five
years imprisonment and a minimum penalty of six
months imprisonment.

CHILD PORNOGRAPHY AND INTERNET LURING
TARGET OF DNA DATA BANK REFORMS
OTTAWA, October 15, 2004 – Legislation
authorizing judges to order DNA samples from people
convicted of child pornography, Internet luring and
other serious criminal offences was introduced in the
House of Commons today.
"This legislation would make it possible for more DNA
samples to be collected from more convicted
offenders," said Minister of Justice and Attorney
General of Canada, Irwin Cotler. "The amendments
strengthen a powerful crime-fighting tool; reinforce our
commitment to protect children and vulnerable
persons in our society; and ensure that those who harm
them are brought to justice."
"The National DNA Data Bank has proven itself to be
an extremely valuable investigative tool," said the
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Safety
and Emergency Preparedness, Anne McLellan. "The
proposed reforms introduced today would surely
enhance the Data Bank's value for police and, as a
result, the Canadian public."
The proposed amendments would add 28 Criminal
Code offences for which a National DNA Data Bank
order can be made. The most serious crimes, such as
sexual offences, murder and manslaughter, are primary
designated offences. Under the proposed legislation,
the list of primary designated offences would be
expanded to include:
• Internet luring;
• child pornography;
• sexual exploitation of a person with a disability;
and
• offences related to prostitution involving persons
under 18.
Relatively less serious crimes, such as arson and assault,
are considered to be secondary designated offences.
POLICE ASSOCIATION
OF
NOVA SCOTIA
71
Under the new legislation, this list would be expanded
to include:
• criminal harassment;
• offences related to organized crime;
• uttering death threats; and
• intimidation.
Retroactive provisions would allow for DNA samples to
be taken from convicted offenders who committed
specific offences, such as gross indecency and indecent
assault, before the National DNA Data Bank
legislation took effect in June 2000.
The new legislative reforms carefully balance the
public interest in the early detection, arrest and
conviction of offenders, which can be facilitated by the
use of DNA information, with the need to protect the
privacy of individuals.
While the Government anticipates undertaking a
legislatively-mandated review of the National DNA
Data Bank in 2005, the proposed amendments
respond to priority issues that have been raised by
provincial ministers responsible for criminal justice and
law enforcement and builds on the Government's
public consultations.
The National DNA Data Bank, located within the
RCMP's National Police Services, has provided crucial
investigative leads and helped to solve criminal cases
across the country and around the world, many
involving serious offences such as homicide, sexual
assault and armed robbery. It has been instrumental in
focusing investigations, eliminating suspects and
protecting the innocent.

Division RCMP
During the early morning of Wednesday, November 22,
2006 the RCMP Internet Child Exploitation (ICE)
Section with the assistance of the Codiac Regional
RCMP executed a search warrant in a Moncton home.
ICE members arrested a 42-year-old man and 39-yearold woman, both from Moncton, for production,
distribution, and possession of child pornography.
Several items including computer equipment relating to
child pornography were also seized.
A 14-year-old girl was removed from the residence and
is presently in the care of Child and Family Services.
The two adults were released with strict conditions and
will appear in court at a later date.

Police warn online child porn growing more
violent

FREDERICTON -- Child pornography on the Internet
is becoming more aggressive and violent, police in New
Brunswick warned Wednesday as revelations emerged of
a worldwide network that trades the illegal images.
RCMP Insp. Michelle Martin said the pictures are no
longer of nude children on the beach, but now include
violent images of children being assaulted. "They are
infants, they are not even walking and they are still in
diapers," she said in a presentation to a public forum in
Fredericton.
"And adults are having sexual intercourse with them.
There are pictures with animals."
Martin, who heads a five-member Internet child
exploitation unit based in Fredericton, said while such
behaviour has been around for a long time, the Internet
has made it more accessible.
She said the number of arrests goes up as more
investigators are added, but the proliferation of child
pornography on the Internet is spreading at a lightning
POLICE ASSOCIATION
OF

pace.
"It's a $2.6-billion industry with 20,000 new child porn
websites every month," said Martin.
A national child sex abuse tipline on the Internet saw a
rapid spike in the number of online child sexual
exploitation cases reported during its first year.
By the end of January 2006, 5,771 child exploitation
reports were made to Manitoba-based Cybertip.ca -- a
430 per cent increase from 2004.
"Cybertip is kind of the Neighbourhood Watch of the
Internet," said Lianna McDonald, executive director of
Child Find Manitoba.
News reports of people arrested for possession of child
pornography have become a daily occurrence.
On Wednesday, U.S. and international authorities,
completing an investigation that began in Canada,
charged 27 people in an online child pornography sting.
Throughout Canada, arrests and charges for child porn
possession and distribution have been on the rise.
Late Wednesday, Halifax police announced they were
laying child porn charges against two Halifax-area men.
Waclaw Otomanski, 54, was charged with possession,
manufacturing and distribution, and Joseph Hanna, 37,
of Dartmouth, N.S., was also arrested and charged with
possession.
The charges come in the wake of child porn charges
being laid against a high-profile swim coach in
Dartmouth.
Last month, police in Newfoundland and Labrador
arrested two men following an extensive investigation
into a porn and prostitution ring that allegedly involved
40 young girls.
Some of the defendants are arguing the police have
become overzealous.

A Fredericton man sentenced in January to six months
in jail for possession of child pornography claimed laws
against child pornography are a form of government
censorship.
Gordon Thomas Hickey Jr., 56, told a probation officer
that child porn is a victimless crime and that he stands
by the adage of 'no harm, no foul.'"
A credit card used to purchase child porn online was
traced back to Hickey, as part of an investigation that
began in Dallas, Texas.
A partnership with the RCMP is helping small police
forces to become part of the global effort to fight child
pornography.
"We can use their facilities and their technical
capabilities, and it makes it easier for us to prosecute
these cases," said Const. Eric Demers of the Rothesay
Regional Police Force in New Brunswick.
Insp. Martin said parents must get more involved in the
lives of their children.
She said about 79 per cent of Canadian youth have
access to the Internet at home, and over 50 per cent of
them have an email account that their parents are not
aware of.
"Fifty-three per cent of these kids have received
pornographic material through the internet, and 15 to
20 per cent have gone and met someone in person that
they have met on the Internet.''
She said parents, schools and communities need to do a
better job of monitoring Internet use by children, to
ensure they are not being lured by adults.
Martin said it doesn't matter how small your
community is: "if there's a telephone line, there's access
to the internet."

Minister Day comments on dismantling of
international child porn ring
Office of the Honourable Stockwell Day
Minister of Public Safety
Date published: 2007-02-08
http://news.gc.ca
Today, the Honourable Stockwell Day released the
following statement in response to news that Austrian
authorities have announced they have uncovered a large
international Internet child pornography ring.
“The sexual exploitation of children is a vile and
abhorrent act, for which Canadians have zero tolerance.
I can assure Canadians that our security forces will make
every effort to ensure that our children are protected. I
would like to take this opportunity to commend the
Austrian authorities for striking a blow against child
pornography. While it is yet to be confirmed if any
offences have been committed in Canada, proper
authorities are working to gather more information.
The National Child Exploitation Coordination Centre –
a part of the RCMP’s National Police Services - will play
a key role in helping to identify the appropriate jurisdiction
to pursue investigations, if they are warranted.
I would like to commend the National Child
Exploitation Coordination Centre and the entire law
enforcement community for all that they do to prevent
the abduction, endangerment and sexual exploitation of
children.”
Ex-teacher won’t face sex charges
By MONICA GRAHAM, Chronical Herald-NS,
http://moncton101.spaces.live.com
STELLARTON — The former Stellarton high school
teacher at the centre of a police investigation won’t face
sex or child pornography charges because the boys
featured in homemade videos were over 14, the age of
consent in Canada.
The 66-year-old man will likely face charges of
providing liquor to people under the age of 19 as well as
drug and tobacco charges, Stellarton police said
Tuesday.

After discussing the case with the Crown, police decided
not to lay child pornography charges.
Police did not identify the suspect arrested at a MacKay
Street house on Feb. 16, but sources said Carl Skidmore
was the resident taken into custody.
Mr. Skidmore was jailed in 1997 on two counts of
sexually assaulting boys and was convicted after his
release for violating a probation order to stay away from
anyone under the age of 18.
In 2001, he was convicted of possessing stolen property
related to a theft gang made up of young men and boys.
While Mr. Skidmore was in custody overnight Feb. 16,
his home was ransacked and robbed. Police arrested
nine people for the burglary.
Four months of undercover investigation and tips that
local youngsters were being videotaped performing
sexual acts led police to obtain a search warrant for the
man’s house. They seized sexually explicit videotapes
and some marijuana during the raid.
Officers viewed the tapes, only to discover that the boys
they could identify were between the ages of 14 and 18,
old enough to consent to sexual acts under Canadian
law.
Police said they interviewed the videotaped boys that
they could identify. Some of the boys are also alleged to
be involved in "other matters eventually to come before
the court," an officer said.
Police will lay charges of marijuana trafficking,
conspiracy to traffic in marijuana and illegal possession
of marijuana.
Police will also lay Liquor Control Act and Tobacco Act
charges.
The suspect will appear in New Glasgow provincial
court March 26.
Ottawa hopes to pass a bill raising the age of consent
relating to sexual activity to 16 from 14. The bill is now
before a federal committee.
Kid-porn trader spared jail time
By DEAN PRITCHARD, SUN MEDIA,
A Winnipeg man who traded violent and degrading
images of child pornography with perverts from around
the globe earned himself an 18-month conditional
sentence yesterday after a judge ruled he has turned
himself around with intensive therapy.
Timothy Kozun, 25, was arrested in June 2002 after
police in Germany monitored a child porn chat room
and found advertisements for pictures that were traced
back to a Winnipeg file server.
Police in Winnipeg seized three computer systems from
Kozun's family home. A forensic analysis of the
computers uncovered more than 3,500 images of child
pornography.
Since his arrest, Kozun has undergone therapy with
three doctors, who all reported he has shown genuine
remorse for his crimes and poses little risk to re-offend.
"Such
demonstrable
rehabilitation,
whether
post-sentence or pre-sentence, must be encouraged and
recognized," said Judge Fred Sandhu. " ... the lengthy
court process to date in combination with the
considerable publicity this matter has attracted and the
sheer length of the psychological rehabilitation has had
an individual deterrent effect."
A recent report by Dr. Ivan Rutner described Kozun as
bright, but emotionally immature. Rutner suggested
Kozun's crime "had little to do with a real interest in
pornography," but was an act of rebellion and a
challenge to his technical skills.
"It would have been more consistent with his
personality to be demonstrating in favour of animal
rights or against Wal-Mart," he wrote.
At an earlier sentencing hearing, court heard Kozun
amassed the bulk of the collection in two weeks after
advertising on a chat room called "Pre-teen 101."
Kozun offered traders one picture for every two they
gave.
The pictures in Kozun's collection included images
depicting the rape and torture of children as young as
five.
Many images offered for trade were still pictures from
films, encouraging traders to collect the entire set "much
like baseball cards," said Crown attorney Mick Makar,
who had asked for jail time.

Halifax man will be sentenced in May on child
porn charge
Chronicle Herald http://moncton101.spaces.live.com
A 41-year-old Halifax man caught last year with child
pornography will be sentenced in the spring.
John Francis MacDonald pleaded guilty in Nova
Scotia Supreme Court on Thursday to one count of
possession of child pornography.
The heavy-set man, dressed in khakis and a
blue-collared shirt, appeared nervous as he stood beside
his lawyer, Peter Mancini. His voice cracked as he
entered the plea before Justice Arthur Pickup.
Halifax Regional Police received a tip about Mr.
MacDonald on April 25/06 from an undercover officer
with the Virginia Beach Police Department in the
United States.
The officer was posing as an underage girl on the
Internet when Mr. MacDonald suggested they hook up.
As a result, police in Halifax got a warrant to search
Mr. MacDonald’s apartment at 542 Herring Cove Rd.
They seized a number of images from Mr. MacDonald’s
computer on Sept. 7.
Now that there’s a guilty plea, Crown attorney Craig
Botterill says the focus is the May 23 sentencing.
"Under the new regulations, he will have to go to jail; it
will just be a matter of how long," Mr. Botterill said.

Hacker helps put judge in prison for child porn
Canadian whiz acted as 'vigilante' to find
dozens of predators
Randy Boswell and Gary Dimmock, The
Ottawa
Citizen,
February
23,
2007,
Nearly a decade after he began his career as a teenage
"vigilante hacker," a Canadian computer whiz says it
was "definitely satisfying" to learn this week that his
most high-profile target -- a disgraced California judge - has finally been sentenced in a landmark
child- pornography case that sparked widespread legal
debate over the actions of "Citizen Tipster" Bradley
Willman.
Ronald Kline, 66, a former Superior Court judge from
Irvine, California, offered a "life time of apologies"
before collapsing in a Los Angeles courtroom on
Tuesday after learning he faces 27 months in federal
prison for possessing more than 100 illicit images of
children -- files exposed to police by Mr. Willman
through a "Trojan Horse" computer virus he used to
identify dozens of child-porn predators across North
America.
Now 26, the Langley, B.C., resident says he's still proud of "doing
my own thing to help people out. It was a lot better than ignoring
what was going on."
But he acknowledged a bittersweet reaction to the end of
a case that also ended his crusade to ferret out some of
North America's worst child-porn offenders.
"In some ways," Mr. Willman said in an interview
yesterday, his pursuit of Mr. Kline "was a lot more
trouble than it was worth" because it put him out of
business as a citizen crime-fighter.
"It's good that it's finally come to a resolution after all
these years," he said. "It's definitely satisfying that he got
caught. I just kind of wish it had gone in a different way.
I was told by police that what I did was illegal and that
if I continued, they would have to charge me. So there
was no option."
Investigators and anti-porn advocates have praised
Mr. Willman. But his vigilante exploits led a U.S. district
court in 2003 to toss out the charges against Mr. Kline,
ruling that the B.C. teenager was essentially acting as an
agent of police and gathering evidence illegally.

Then, in 2004, a U.S. federal appeals court overturned
that ruling and upheld the charges against Mr. Kline.
"No law enforcement agency involved in the case knew
or could possibly have known that Willman was illegally
searching computers, let alone acquiesced in the
practice," the appeal judges ruled.
Mr. Kline, who had been forced to withdraw from a
re-election bid, later entered a guilty plea on
child-porno-graphy charges.
At the judge's sentencing hearing, prosecutor Gregory
Staples urged a 33-month term, arguing that "to
sentence the defendant to anything other than a long
term in prison would signal that our justice system treats
its own with favour," the Orange County Register
reported. "Of all people in society who must be held
strictly accountable for their crimes, it is members of the
justice system themselves."
Mr. Staples charged that Mr. Kline had "sullied the state
judiciary."
When the 27-month sentence was announced,
Mr. Kline -- who has a heart condition -- slumped to the
courtroom floor, but later recovered.
Dubbed "Citizen Tipster" by authorities, Mr. Willman's
identity was initially kept secret, even in police affidavits.
Then, in June 2002, the Citizen unmasked the mystery
hacker, identifying him as a then-19-year-old loner who
hunted online predators from a basement room in his
parents' suburban Vancouver home.
Mr. Willman, whose online handle was "Omni-Potent,"
used a Trojan Horse program disguised as a lurid image
to gain control of any computer that downloaded it. He
eventually penetrated about 3,000 personal computers
around the world.
Mr. Willman said at the time he had no friends at school
and spent nearly all of his free time at the computer,
chewing sour candies as he hunted for pedophiles.
He catalogued each target's file by degree of risk, and
focused on suspected child-porn producers and
molesters.
"I would stay up late at night to see what I could drag
out of their computers, which turned out to be more
than I expected," Mr. Willman told the Citizen in 2002.
"I could read all of their e-mails without them knowing
... I could see who they were chatting with and read
what they were saying as they typed. I judged these
people by reading their incoming and outgoing e-mails.
I was more interested in actual abusers or producers.
That was my priority -- not the people that were just
downloading images."

After reading Mr. Kline's electronic diary, he concluded
that it showed an apparent plot to sexually exploit young
boys at a private health club. U.S. detectives have
credited Mr. Willman with cracking the case.
"The diary he retrieved gave us the probability that we
needed to get the search warrant," California
Det. Ronald Carr said early on in the case.
The search warrant unearthed more than 100 images of
young children engaged in sex acts. Mr. Kline's journal
entries from 2000 and 2001 detailed the judge's sexual
urges and the times and places where he met young
boys.
The judge, a Little League umpire at the time, had
contact with several boys at ball games, in a mall and at
a private health club, where he befriended vulnerable
boys with the hopes of exploiting them.
"You can't just charge in like you did with (a boy)," said
one entry dated June 6, 2000. "How do I encourage
him without pursuing him too hard?"
The next day, the judge wrote to himself: "I gave a lot of
thought today about this business of approaching these
kids too fast ... He doesn't strike me as a lonely boy... You
have to make them come to you or it just doesn't work."
Mr. Willman's central role in the Kline case has kept
legal experts debating his actions ever since. In 2005,
University of British Columbia business professor
Hasan Cavusoglu told Maclean's that the Langley
youth's hacking to expose suspected pedophiles could
invite "other prosecutors to attempt to use evidence
obtained by illegal means in other trials."
But the University of Toronto's Richard Owens,
executive director of the Centre for Innovation Law and
Policy, said at the time: "We may need to set certain
limits, but for the moment it's unrestricted and the risks,
in this case, are balanced by the benefits of prosecuting
a potential child predator."
Today, Mr. Willman says he lives with his parents
and works independently repairing and maintaining
computers; his hacking prowess proved no ticket to
high-tech riches.
"I don't have any big, fancy job."

Police warn of Wi-Fi theft by porn downloaders
Updated Sun. Nov. 23 2003 12:05
CTV.ca News Staff
© 2007 All Rights Reserved.
Toronto police have charged a man with theft of
telecommunications in a bizarre case that involves
downloading child pornography from a laptop in a
moving car and using other people's computer networks
to obtain the images.
Det. Sgt. Paul Gillespie of the Sex Crimes Child
Exploitation Section described at a news conference "a
relatively interesting set of events," that seem to mark a
new era in criminal behaviour and police investigative
techniques.
The case began two weeks ago Wednesday, at 5 a.m.,
when Sgt. Don Woods of 11 Division noticed a vehicle
driving the wrong way down a one-way street in a
residential neighbourhood.
When Woods stopped the car, he noticed the driver, a
man, was naked from the waist down. In the car was a
laptop computer and on its screen was an image of a
10-year-old girl in a sex act with an adult male.
Gillespie's child exploitation unit was called in to
investigate. Police discovered the laptop computer used
a Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) card that allows wireless access
to the Internet.
Police suspected that the man in the car was
downloading pornography from the Internet, by
cracking into a computer in a nearby home.
Det. Sgt. Frank Goldschmidt, of the Ontario Provincial
Police's Project P, picked up the investigation because the
suspect's home was in Delhi, Ont., outside of Toronto.
A warrant was obtained, a search was executed, and a
large amount of material was seized and taken to
Toronto Police for further investigation.Walter
Nowakoski, 36, has been charged with possession
of child pornography (two counts), accessing
child pornography, distributing child pornography,
theft of telecommunications, and making child
pornography.Nowakoski is in custody and will appear
for a bail hearing on Monday morning.
Gillespie said he called the news conference to alert
homes and businesses to the potential for cracking into
their insecure networks. Nowakoski was allegedly using
such improperly protected wireless networks to
download child porn.

War Driving
Locating insecure networks is known as "War Driving."
It's the practise of driving around in a vehicle with a
Wi-Fi enabled laptop scanning for vulnerable signals,
usually in an effort to steal Internet bandwidth. For
many computer enthusiasts, "War Driving" is a sport
done without malice. The tools:
• A laptop with a good wireless card and an antenna
• Cheap software to help identify networks in offices
and homes
• An on-screen utility displays wireless network access
points, and the signal strength of the network
detected
Further steps can be taken to gain access to those
networks. Most War Drivers are motivated simply by
the thrill of the chase. However, what they argue is a
relatively harmless electronic scavenger hunt for "free"
Internet access, Toronto police call telecommunications
theft. "I don't think that the public realizes that these
signals can be transmitted 500 feet or more, depending
on the size of the network," Gillespie said.
"It is so bad, that there are individual Web sites that
show people how to steal wireless web signals, with
maps. And people have actually gone to the trouble of
spray painting red Xs in front of houses, in case you
can't read the map."
War Driving is relatively easy to thwart. Almost all
software used in business and home wireless networks
employs encryption that can block unauthorized access.
It just has to be configured properly.
Tips
Just as Canadians were early adopters in Internet use
and broadband access, they are also world leaders in
Wi-Fi use. But there are a number of weaknesses in the
Wi-Fi system. Here are some tips to help keep users
secure:
• Make sure that you turn on the Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP) algorithm, which is part of the
802.11 standard common to most LAN (local area
networks)
• Always assume that someone is going to try to break
into your system, no matter what security you have
installed ... check your download and temp files
• Change your passwords on a frequent basis
• Turn off your network when it is not in use
• Use the Internet to keep updated on new flaws that
are being discovered in wireless security

One of FBI’s Top Ten Wanted
Arrested in Canada!
Captured May 12, 2007
Feds Nail Another Top Tenner
It took authorities from two countries and a lot of
teamwork, but today, one fewer accused pedophile is
out on the streets. It's all thanks to one alert citizen and
quick, cooperative police work.
The fall of this top tenner began in mid-April 2007
when a friend of Goldberg's received a call from the
fugitive himself. The friend instantly alerted the
authorities, telling them that Goldberg was hiding out
in Montreal. Unfortunately, that's all the information
they had.
Then, on May 11th, an anonymous tipster in Montreal
heard an interesting story from a friend. That friend
worked as a non-profit counselor who had a very
intriguing client. That client, who went by the name
Terry Wayne Kearns, admitted that he was a fugitive
from justice from the United States but said the charges
against him were trumped up.
The counselor told the friend who went to the internet
for more information. She logged on the the FBI's
website and found who she thought Terry Wayne
Kearns really was: Richard Goldberg. The tipster told
the counselor of her findings and the next time the
counselor met with Kearns, the question was posed:
"Are you Richard Goldberg?" Kearns said he was.
A Multi-Jurisdictional Takedown
This tipster alerted the authorities who knew, based on
earlier information, that this tip sounded strong. The
FBI agent in Ottawa contacted Interpol Ottawa, as
well as the Montreal Police SWAT team and the
Canadian Border Services Agency to descend on
Richard Goldberg. At 1 a.m. EST, authorities found
Goldberg who readily admitted his true identity.
Fingerprints later confirmed that they had, in fact,
nabbed the FBI top tenner.
Richard Goldberg is now being held on a provisional
warrant and US authorities are anxious to get him
back to the states. But it could take several days.
Goldberg had a hearing on May 14, 2007. The
Canadian court system gives Goldberg seven days to
make an appeal. However, there's no doubt he'll be
heading back to the states eventually and the FBI says
they'll travel to Canada to secure Goldberg in an effort

to make sure his extradition goes
as smoothly as possible.
A
Dangerous
Child
Predator Who Targets
Neighborhood Children
Long Beach, California police
say Richard Goldberg molested six young girls under ten
years old from January through May of 2001. They say
that he took pictures of himself with the young girls and
stored them on his computer. Police fear Goldberg may
have disseminated the pornography via the internet.
Police say Goldberg gained the trust of the
neighborhood parents, then became a babysitter and
"friend" to the kids in the area. Cops say the single man
made his home a magnet for children. His backyard
had swings and a cage with rabbits and ducks. Inside
the house, Goldberg had children's computer games,
kid's music, art supplies and even children's soap. He
would provide free babysitting to the children and gave
them freedom to come over to his house anytime.
Running Home To Mommy
Police say that Goldberg was "found out" on May 11,
2001. That's when cops say two young girls playing on
Goldberg's computer saw an image of two of their
young friends naked with their next door neighbor. A
full investigation was launched and six neighborhood
kids reported being sexually assaulted by Goldberg.
Agents discovered several pieces of child pornography
on his computer, including photos of Goldberg
himself, engaged in sex acts with children.
Police searched Goldberg's home in June 2001 and
seized his computer -- Goldberg immediately fled. In
early July, after finding evidence on the computer,
police issued an arrest warrant.
Cops know Goldberg fled home to his parents in
Rumson, New Jersey after leaving Long Beach. But his
trail ends there.
Goldberg is now back in the U.S., in custody, where he
stands accused of molesting six young girls and
producing child pornography.

A Teen Makes Money With A
Controversial Site
MMIII, CBS BROADCASTING INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
JAN. 8, 2003
Renee's mother Barbara claims she is mystified by
Renee's virtual success, saying she has “no idea”
why the site is so popular. “I hope it's her writing
skills,” she says.
But Renee thinks differently: “They're hoping to
see goodies. A lot of people think that my being 16
and on the Internet is horrible. But they fail to
realize that I'm not getting nude.”
48 Hours promised to keep Renee's last name
secret, and won't reveal where she lives. She and
her mother say anonymity is what keeps customers
where they want them: on the other side of the Web
cam.
Renee says she makes $2,000 a month from her
Web site. (CBS)
Like most 16-year-olds, Renee's world is in her
bedroom. She hangs out there with her friends, and
spends hours on her computer.
But Renee isn't just sending e-mails or surfing the
web aimlessly. She's running a highly profitable
Internet business from here, one she says has
earned her as much as $2,000 a month.
But what's she's doing in her bedroom would make
a lot of mothers blush. Renee is a “Cam Girl”-- just
one of hundreds of young girls who compete for
attention on the Web by putting webcam photos and
videos of themselves online.
“I've had people who are around 54 go to my Web
site. And it's kinda scary at first. It's like, ‘Why are
these people here?’ I'm not anybody special. I'm
just a little kid,” Renee says.
Her mother says that older guys will look at her
daughter no matter what. “They look at her in the
grocery store. So I mean they're gonna look at her
no matter where she's at,” Barbara says.
Then, there is the money. In addition to the member
fees, Renee also gets paid for directly linking her
Web site to other Web sites, including one that is
pornographic. That link paid her $600 to $800 a
month.
Her site gets thousands of visitors every day. But it
isn't free: For four days it's $5.95; for a month it's
$15.95; for six months it's $59.95.
“I was uncomfortable with it. But she made some
pretty good money with it,” says Barbara.
What do you get for your money? There’s chat,
information about how she does her hair and where
she shops, and Renee’s daily journal.
There also a "wish list," where Renee asks for--and
receives--gifts from admirers. The list has included
such items as a Sony Playstation, a digital camera,
and kitchen accessories. The gift givers usually
remain totally anonymous.
Renee has also posted more than 500 photos on the
site. Some of them are sweet, some are strange,
many are provocative. There is no nudity, however.
After a few hours of shooting, Renee and her
mother refused to co-operate further with 48 Hours,

saying they didn’t like the questions about who
visits the site and how much money Renee makes.
But if you think what Renee does is shocking, you
haven't seen the half of it.
A year ago, Ashley Rose, then 14, and her friend
Amber, then 17, were among more than 50
underage
girls
on
a
website
called
trueteenbabes.com. For $20 a month, members
gained access to thousands of pictures.
“I was always interested in modeling,” says Amber.
“But I just figured maybe as a way to get my face
out there and start pursuing my modeling dreams.”
The pictures were “glamour shots,” she says.
At its peak, the site had thousands of paying
members and brought in an estimated $60,000 a
month. Ashley Rose and Amber were cashing in,
too. For Web cam chats, they made $20 an hour.
For photo shoots, they made $65 an hour.
And like every parent who had a daughter on the
site, Ashley’s mother Robin signed a consent form
giving Ashley permission to become a "True Teen
Babe."
“I thought it was silly myself,” Robin says of the
site. “I mean, several times I would say 'What are
people paying?' I think the members were really
lonely, it seems like it was their chance to talk to a
model, to talk to a beautiful girl. It was very
innocent.”
But then "48 Hours" showed Robin pictures that
were taken for the web site of Ashley wearing
lingerie, and a thong. Robin was troubled by the
photos. “I haven't seen a lot of these,” she says.
Ashley admits that in those photos she is close to
being nude, “but I'm not naked. And to be naked,
that's porn, pornography. So I didn't do that,” says
Ashley.
But the county sheriff disagreed about some of
Ashley's and other girls' pictures, and said the site
was illegal.
Although Ashley argued that the web site
trueteenbabes.com that she appeared on was not
pornographic, the Arapahoe County Sheriff's
Office disagreed.
Last April they shut down the site and charged its
owner and photographer, James Grady, with 880
counts of violating a specific Colorado statute
against the Sexual Exploitation of Children. Grady
is now in jail awaiting trial.
Mike Miller and Andy Contiguglia, Grady’s
attorneys, say Colorado authorities have gone too
far. More provocative material is out there, they
say, much of it commercially available in books
and magazines, and isn’t being prosecuted in
Colorado. Plus, they argue, all the models had
parental consent.
Sheriff Grayson Robinson is emphatic: “The young
ladies involved were less than 18 years of age.
They were put in a position to display their bodies.
They wore rather flimsy, see-through material. Yet
the body part was still exposed."
Robin, Ashley's mother, defends her participation
in the site by saying she was only trying to help her
daughter become a professional model.
But the Ford Modeling Agency in New York City,
which represents nearly 300 teenage and child
models, says they don’t surf the Web looking for
models.
Robin now regrets allowing her daughter to model
for the site. And Ashley has since hired a
professional manager, who landed her a part in an
independent film.
But the business of underage internet modeling
continues, with sites that feature very young,
pre-teen girls in provocative poses and clothing.

48 Hours joined one of the pre-teen sites,
CindyModel.com, to see what members receive.
For $14.95 a month, members gain access to
hundreds of photos of an 11-year-old child.
Members can also buy CDs packed with even more
photos, and even a DVD with video of Cindy.
“A lot of the people who buy these, I’d say, are
40-year-old men,” Newbury says. He says that
many members are middle-aged men and he admits
that some of them are looking at the pictures
sexually.
To prevent her fans from finding her, Cindy's last
name and location are kept secret. But her
photographer's name and contact information are
available through the Web site.
Dr. Fred Berlin, a psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins
University Hospital who treats patients with
sexual disorders, says that an older man who
belongs to the site is likely to have “something
very different or abnormal about his sexual
make-up.”
“Our objective with Cindy of course is to have her
be a commercial actress, possibly have her own
television show,” says Newbury, who runs Cindy's
site.
Newbury first put photos of Cindy on the Internet
last April. At first, people could look for free, and
on the first day, the site had 50 members. So
Newbury decided to turn it into a pay site. There
are now 400 paying members.
“If things stayed just the way they are right now, I
would probably make about $50,000 a year,” he
says. And Cindy makes as much as $450 a week.
Her father, Gary, a plumber, says that's more than
he makes some weeks.
Newbury says he wants to make Cindy a star. Her
mother Tracy dreams of that too. “She’s having a
blast. We all are,” says Tracy, who is in marketing.
Newbury spends more than 10 hours a day tending
to his new business. He promotes Cindy
aggressively and apparently it’s working. An
online fan club devoted to her has over 4,000
members.
Some members even send in outfits for Cindy to
model. That service costs $150. One man sent in a
schoolgirl outfit for Cindy to model on line.
Newbury says other people have sent in items he
considers inappropriate, like thongs, which Cindy
will not model.
Tracy says she doesn’t know much about who the
members of her daughter's web site are. “Curt
handles all that,” she says.

Why would an adult pay $15 every month to
belong to this site? “I think adults who are doing
this have some sort of infatuation with this
youngster," says Berlin. "And I think in some cases
they may have romantic fantasies. In some cases
sexualized fantasies.”
Tracy says that older men will look at Cindy in real
life, so why not online. “I would never exploit my
daughter. I am promoting her natural beauty,”
Tracy says.
Berlin says that there is a chance a determined
member could find Cindy’s real address. Newbury
worries about that too. But he says he keeps her
identity secret. He admits, though, that he himself
is more easily found. Members do have some
contact with Cindy during bi-weekly "video chats",
and some members apparently try to get even
closer by sending Cindy gifts.
There is some legislation being introduced
nationally that would ban child modeling Web sites
in an effort to protect the child models. But for
now, these Web sites are legal, and prospering.
“There may be a large number of people out there
who are privately attracted to children, who don’t
act on it. And as a society we’re going to have to
figure out how we want to deal with it,” says
Berlin.

Microsoft technology helps in
fight against child pornography
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS AROUND THE WORLD TRACK DOWN ONLINE PREDATORS
WITH THE CHILD EXPLOITATION TRACKING SYSTEM (CETS)
In 2003, Toronto police detective Paul Gillespie
thought there must be a better way to catch criminals who trafficked in child pornography. The
Internet was giving child pornographers new ways
to find and exploit children, and Gillespie could
see that law enforcement officials were far behind
the technology curve.
"With the Internet, the bad guys had figured out a
better way to hide their tracks while committing
crime at new levels," said Gillespie, who has since
retired from the police force. "Law enforcement
hadn't learned how to use the Internet to gain the
upper hand."
Determined to do what he could to stop the growth
of child porn, Gillespie sent letters and e-mail
messages to corporations and government
agencies. One landed on the desk of Bill Gates, the
chairman of Microsoft Corporation. Gates passed
along the note to Microsoft Canada and asked for
its assistance in developing a tool to help fight
child pornography. Microsoft Canada software
engineers worked with Gillespie, the Toronto
Police Service Sex Crimes Unit, and other law
enforcement agencies to understand how child
pornographers were taking advantage of the
openness and anonymity of the Internet. With that
information in hand, the engineers then created a
tool to help law enforcement officers apprehend
pornographers.
The result: the Child Exploitation Tracking
System (CETS), built on Microsoft technology,
was unveiled in April 2005. CETS helped law
enforcement agencies follow hundreds of suspects
at a time and eliminate duplicated work, making it
much easier for them to follow up on leads, collect
evidence, and build cases against suspected child
pornographers.
Even during beta testing, CETS proved its value
by helping police investigate a man accused of
sexually assaulting a four-year-old girl. CETS also
figured prominently in the March 2006 arrest of
27 people in four countries who operated a private
chat room to groom vulnerable children.
CETS produces impressive results
Since 2004, Toronto police officers have used
CETS in their investigations, resulting in 64
arrests and the identification of 43 victims
worldwide. "CETS really helps identify the
non-obvious connections that can lead to a child
pornographer and that humans could never
identify on their own," said Gillespie, who now
works as a consultant on Internet child safety for
Microsoft and other corporate and government
entities.
CETS has grown from a Canadian law
enforcement tool to one that is now global in scale.
In April 2006, the Child Exploitation and Online
Protection Centre (CEOP), which works across
the United Kingdom, made CETS part of its
enforcement arsenal. The results were immediate.
By October 2006, CETS was credited with
helping police in the United Kingdom arrest 37
suspects and rescue five children. "In the past,
police officers simply didn't understand the
Internet — it was a labyrinth to them," Jim
Gamble, chief executive officer of CEOP, told the
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). "But
now we are upstream of [online pedophiles] and
awaiting their next move."

Since then, the international momentum of CETS
has increased tremendously. Law enforcement
officials in Indonesia, Italy, and Brazil put the tool
to work in 2006. And 13 other countries, among
them Spain and Chile, are assessing the
effectiveness of CETS and may deploy it soon.
According to Gillespie, the input that law
enforcement officers worldwide were able to
contribute during development is responsible in
part for the widespread acceptance of CETS.
Using the technology tools Microsoft has
provided, police officers charged with fighting
child abuse have been able to agree widely on how
to structure the CETS database and develop the
way information can be shared between
jurisdictions. That's helped tremendously with
"buy-in" from law enforcement. "Officers from
around the world have been able to claim
ownership of the solution," said Gillespie. "They
were challenged to discuss what their own
systems could and could not do, and the result was
that CETS was built by investigators, for
investigators."
Gillespie added that the success of CETS in
Canada and the United Kingdom has given law
enforcement officers confidence that it is an
effective weapon in the fight against pornography.
However, vigilance is still needed. The abuse and
exploitation of children on the Internet continues
to generate shocking statistics worldwide.
According to data gathered by the nongovernmental organization Anesvad, more than
four million Internet sites contain sexual
material involving children worldwide, and 500
new sites are created each day. It is estimated that
more than half of those sites—around 2.4
million—are fee-based services that generate
worldwide revenue of some $1.3 (U.S.D.) billion
per month.
Microsoft continues its role with the development
and deployment of CETS. When representatives
of a country express interest in adopting CETS,
Microsoft helps law enforcement officials assess
how it might work within the country. Among
other things, this task involves determining which
police agencies will be covered by CETS, how
database searches should be designed, and what
sort of computing resources are needed. Microsoft
also covers a portion of the cost of the initial
CETS assessment, with the balance being paid by
the hosting government or non-governmental
organizations. If a country decides to adopt CETS,
Microsoft supplies the software, documentation,
and training to make it a useful tool.
As of late 2006, Microsoft had contributed more
than $7 million (U.S.D.) to the deployment of
CETS. It also continues to support the development of the CETS tool itself, and in June 2007 it
will release CETS 2.0 (the current version is 1.3).
Microsoft Canada played a key role in developing
the first version of CETS for Gillespie and the
Toronto Police Service, and it still takes much of
the technical lead in improving CETS.
CETS helps energize public officials
To Gillespie, the broad adoption of CETS is a
result of the way it helps solve a problem that is
global, both in its scope and in the way combating
child abuse strikes a common chord. "When
talking children and child abuse, it's something
everyone can relate to," he said. "It really brings
out the energy of everyone involved in the CETS
initiative."
"CETS has grown beyond my wildest dreams,"
Gillespie added. "It has realized its potential in
that children have been rescued and offenders put
in jail. That's very gratifying."

SNAPSHOT OF MINORS ONLINE AND
HOW PREDATORS REACH THEM
by Parry Aftab copyright 2007, all rights reserved
It is estimated that approximately 70% of the minors in
Canada access the Internet either from home, schools,
community centers and libraries or from some newer
Internet-capable devices. This is up more than ten-fold
since 1996. Now our children are using cell phones with
Internet and text-capability, interactive gaming devices
(such as X-Box Live 360 and Sony Playstation Network)
with voice over Internet and live chat features, handheld
devices with Bluetooth and other Wi-Fi remotecommunication technology (such as PSP gaming devices
and mobile phones) and social networking profiles (such
as MySpace, Facebook, Piczo, Bebo and others) where
they can advertise their favorite things, where they live
and pictures of themselves and their friends to anyone
who wants to see them.
Ten years ago, when I first wrote my safety tips telling
parents to put the computer in a central location, that
made sense. It was a central point, where parents could
get involved and supervise their children's interactive
communications and surfing activities. Now, where they
take their communication technologies with them in
their pockets, backpacks, and purses, it is not longer as
relevant as it once was. Now, instead of expecting
parents to watch everything their children are doing
online from the comfort of their livingrooms, or kitchen
counter, we have to do more. Now, we have to teach our
children to use the "filter between their ears" and
exercise good judgment and care when using any
interactive device. While teaching parents how to
supervise their children online was a challenge (I have
written the leading books, worldwide, for parents on
Internet safety), teaching children to "ThinkB4uClick"
is much harder.
The saddest thing is that our children are mainly at risk
because of their own actions. Some are intentional.
Others are inadvertent. They may willingly engage in
communications with people they don't know in real life
"RL," agree to meet them offline or send them sexuallyprovocative images or perform sex acts on webcams they
share with people they encounter online. They
cyberbully each other by advertising their victims for
sexual services, posting real or manufactured sexually
explicit images of them online or by passing online
rumors able their sexual preferences or activities.
Putting Their Heads into the Lion's Mouth
While educators and child psychologists understand this,
most parents will be shocked at the suggestion that their
preteens and teens are in control of their safety online
and putting themselves at risk, often intentionally. But
unless we accept this, and direct our attentions at
solutions aimed at this reality, we are all wasting our
POLICE ASSOCIATION

97
time. We will focus on the much smaller segments of
preteens and teens who are being victimized through no
fault of their own - those who are targeted at random.
All others need to change their online behaviors. And
that's where we need to devote all our attention.
For this to happen, you need to understand the truth.
For years we have told parents and minors not to share
too much personal information online. "You can be
tracked down in real life," we told them. But,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary reported in
the media and by some local law enforcement officers, to
my knowledge, to date, no preteen or teen has been
sexually-exploited by someone who tracked them down
from information they posted online. In each and every
case, to my knowledge, to teens and preteens have gone
willingly to meet their molester or otherwise agreed to
meet them in real life. They may have thought they were
meeting someone other than the 46 year old who is
posing as a teen, but they knew they didn't know this
person in real life. They are willingly agreeing to meet
strangers offline - in shocking numbers.
What does this mean? It means we can do something
about this. It means we can educate teens and preteens
about the realities of meeting people in real life they
only know in cyberspace. It means we can create
solutions. It means that this is, at least for the time being,
100% preventable. It means that what we do today will
have an immediate impact on the safety of our youth. It
means we have to join together and work on things that
are effective and abandon those that are not.
Luckily, while our young people are sharing much more
information online than ever before, to my knowledge,
predators aren't using it to hunt down our children
offline. They are like vampires. They need to be invited
in. Sadly, our teens and preteens are too often doing just
that. They are inviting them to offline meetings, phone
calls and videochats. But, as an expert in cyberrisk
management, I can tell you that this is good news.
Because we have a single point of risk - our children,
preteens and teens. If we stop their risky and unsafe
behaviors, and teach them when to reach out for help
and how, we can manage this risk. We can keep our
children safe.
Preteens and Teens at Risk: Most of the high risk
preteens and teens fall into three categories: those who
are naive and looking for love and affection (typically the
"loners" and "shy" preteens and teens), those who
already engage in other high risks activities, such as drug
and alcohol abuse, driving too fast or doing risky things
for the thrill of it (often the student leaders, athletes,
cheerleaders and very competitive teens, the risks takers

and thrill seekers looking to let off steam or impress their
peers) and those who don't realize that what they do
online is real, the ones who are looking to appear older,
cooler, more fun and more popular (most of the teens
and especially preteens fall into this category at least
once). Sadly, most of our preteens and teens fit one of
these categories. Sadder still is the fact that in recent
years we have learned that most preteens and teens are
potential victims.
Naive, loners and socially-shy preteens and
teens: Some believe that they are communicating with
a cute 14 year old boy, who they later discover isn't cute,
isn't fourteen and isn't a boy. Most of the reported cases
fall into this category, and until the death of Christina
Long in the US five years ago this May (She was the first
confirmed death by a cyber-predator in the US), experts
all believed that all victims fell into this category. Our
kids are being conned, and easy to spot online. Predators
can seek them out, and find their vulnerabilities. They
are groomed with care, and often fall in love with their
molesters. Sadly, when the molestation finally occurs,
not only are their bodies broken, their hearts and trust
are too.
They need to understand how the predators work
online. Too often they tell me that they can "tell" how
old someone is online. They can't. No one can. Many
predators spend years cultivating the right tone and
language to look like a fellow teen online.
These preteens and teens are sitting ducks. While they
may have learned not to fall for the "help me find my
puppy" ploy offline, they need to learn how that same
ploy (appeal for assistance) works online. They need to
know how to spot the risks and the predators, when
online everyone can look like a cute 14-year-old boy.
They need to learn that romance shouldn't occur only in
cyberspace, and that parents can get involved to help
them meet their soul-mate, assuming they really are. So,
if they aren't, and turn out to be a 46 year old child
molester, they can come home safely and help put that
molester behind bars where they deserve.
Risk-takers, Thrill-seeking preteens and teens:
Some preteens and teens (mainly teens) are looking for
the thrills and challenge of engaging in a relationship (or
at least prolonged communication) with an adult. They
"play games" with the adult, and are intentionally extra
sexually-provocative. They think they are smart enough
to do this without getting hurt. They see this as a game,
without realizing the consequences of their actions. And
crossing the sexual line isn't as frightening online as it
would be in real life. The problem is that the
consequences are not as apparent, the realities not as
immediate. They take risks. And they think they can
handle them. (They don't often understand the
consequences, though.) They often willingly engage in
sexual communications with men they know are adults.
That's part of the thrill. They are also often willing to
engage in sexual activities with the adult, but don't
realize what that can mean when things go very wrong.
POLICE ASSOCIATION
OF
NOVA SCOTIA
99
We rarely hear about these kinds of victims, because
they never report it when things go wrong. They feel as
though they "asked for it," or are to blame. When we
hear of these cases, it's because they are killed or
kidnapped. (Christina Long was in this category. She
was the first confirmed murder victim of an Internet
sexual predator in the U.S. and died four years ago this
May.)
Friends are the answer here. If we can get friends to help
watch out for each other, it is less likely that they will
meet adults in real life, or if they do, got alone. Also,
finding cool campaigns such as our "Don't Be Stupid"
help. So do real life stories from victims themselves
about how they got caught and advice from the
trenches. Kateisplace.org has sections specifically
directed at this type of victim.
Not really a drunken slut, just playing one on
MySpace: We've all been reading about this new trend
in the news (often with me as the expert). Good,
respectful, otherwise well-mannered preteens and teens
acting out in cyberspace. In profiles, blogs, on social
networking sites (such as MySpace) and their away
messages on IM, on their websites and interactive
gaming bios, they act out. They pose in their bras, or
worse. They simulate sexual activities (and in some cases
post images of actual sexual activities). They pretend to
be someone or something other than what they really
are. And this alter-ego may be a sexually promiscuous
teen "up for anything."
They don't think it is cool to tell others they were home
coloring with their five year old niece last weekend.
Instead they claim to have snuck out after everyone was
asleep to get drunk at a wild party. To them it isn't real.
They lie. They pose. They do thing online they would
never dream of doing in RL. They aren't really
drunken sluts - they are just playing one on MySpace to
get attention.
The Anatomy of a Cyberpredator:
There have been many cases recently where pedophiles
and other adults have lured children into offline
meetings and molested them. Luckily, there are even
more cases when such attempts to lure a child have
brought about the attention of law-enforcement groups.
Cyberpredators, just like their offline counterparts,
usually aren’t the scary, hairy monsters in trench coats
we imagine standing on a dark street corner. Many are
the kind of person you would be inviting to your home
as a guest, and often have. They are pediatricians,
teachers, lawyers, clergy, vice cops, welfare workers,
journalists, Boy Scout leaders, baseball coaches,
scientists, etc. They are almost always men. (Sometimes
women are accomplices, but rarely are women the
molesters.) They are often articulate and well-educated.
They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and they can
be very rich or out of work. But they have one thing in
common: they want your child.

Most of us are sickened at the thought of an adult
having sexual relations with a child, but to be able to
protect our children, we must get into the mind of the
predator. First of all, predators often don’t see
themselves as predators. They see themselves as loving
partners with the children they molest. To them this isn’t
rape, it’s a seduction. And, as with any seduction, it’s a
slow and painstaking process. (Predators have been
known to wait more than two years, collecting data on a
particular child, before striking.) That’s what makes
them hard to detect. They don’t appear to your child to
be dangerous.
An FBI agent who shared a panel with me recently said
it best: “Before the Internet, these people had to get
physically close to your children. They had to lurk near
schoolyards, or playgrounds. Kids would see them.
Adults would see them. It was a dangerous situation to
be in for them, because everyone would notice an adult
male lurking around children. They often had to take
jobs and volunteer positions that allowed them to work
with children in a position of trust in order to reach their
victims. Now, however, the personal risks the pedophiles
had to expose themselves to in order to be around
children are gone. Now they can be ‘one of the kids’ and
hang out with your kids online without exposing
themselves. As long as they don’t say or do something in
the public room that makes them stand out, they can
stay there forever, taking notes.”
And, many of them do. They have been known to
create large databases on children. They track the
children’s likes and dislikes. They track information such
as whose parents are divorced, who doesn’t like their
father’s new girlfriend or their mother’s boyfriend, or
who likes computer games or a particular rock group.
Kids often share personal information about their lives
in chatrooms or on profiles. This is one reason why they
shouldn’t. The more the predator knows about your
child, the more easily they can “groom” them or appear
to be their soulmate.
Some cyberpredators (known as “travelers” to law
enforcement) seek out the good kids, the smart ones, the
ones who are not street-smart and are from sheltered
suburban or rural families. Many of our children match
that profile perfectly. Others, however, target (or are
targeted by) popular, super achiever, risk preferring
teens. It took the death of a young teen from the US,
Christina Long, before we realized that many of the
incidents involved teens who did not fit the loner profile.
What we learned was that these kids never report any
attacks or exploitation. The only time we hear of these
cases is when the teen is kidnapped or killed.
So who is a typical victim of an Internet sexual
predator? Anyone between 11-1/2 and 16. All are
vulnerable.

It Doesn’t Take Torture for Them to Spill Their
Guts
Here’s a mock chatroom discussion that my
law-enforcement friends and I agree is pretty realistic.
Imagine a predatorial pedophile sitting and taking notes
on this child, and using this information to lure them
later. Would your child fall for this? Most, unfortunately,
would. This one is more typical of a boy victim
and predator communication than a girl victim
communication.
Child: I hate my mom! I know it’s her fault that my
parents are getting divorced.
Predator: I know. My parents are getting divorced,
too.
Child: We never have any money anymore, either.
Every time I need something, she says the same thing:
“We can’t afford it.” When my parents were together,
I could buy things. Now I can’t.
Predator: Me too. I hate that!
Child: I waited for six months for the new computer
game to come out. My mom promised to buy it for me
when it came out. She promised! Now it’s out. Can I
buy it? Nope. “We don’t have enough money!” I hate
my mom!
Predator: Oh! I’m so sorry! I got it! I have this really
kewl uncle who buys me things all the time. He’s
really rich.
Child: You’re sooooo lucky. I wish I had a rich and
kewl uncle.
Predator: Hey! I got an idea! I’ll ask my uncle if he’ll
buy you one too....I told you he’s really kewl. I bet he’d
say yes.
Child: Really!? Thanks!!
Predator: BRB [cybertalk for “be right back”]... I’ll go
and call him.
___
Predator: Guess what? He said okay. He’s gonna buy
you the game!
Child: Wow, really? Thanks. I can’t believe it!!!
Predator: Where do you live?
Child: I live in Nova Scotia. What about you?
Predator: I live in New Brunswick. So does my uncle.
Nova Scotia isn’t far.
Child: Great!
Predator: Is there a mall near you? We can meet there.
Child: Okay. I live near the Maritime Mall.
Predator: I’ve heard of that. No prob. What about
Saturday?
Child: Kewl.
Predator: We can go to McDonald’s too if you want.
We’ll meet you there at noon.

Child: Okay. Where?
Predator: In front of the computer game store. Oh!
My uncle’s name is George. He’s really kewl.
Child: Great... thanks, I really appreciate it. You’re so
lucky to have a rich and kewl uncle.
Saturday arrives, and the child goes to the mall and
meets an adult outside the computer game store. He
identifies himself as “Uncle George” and explains that
his nephew is already at the McDonald’s waiting for
them. The child is uncomfortable, but the uncle walks
into the store and buys the $100 game. He comes out
and hands it to the child, who is immediately neutralized
and delighted. Stranger-danger warnings are not
applicable. This isn’t a stranger - he’s “Uncle George,”
and if any proof was needed, the computer game is it.
He gets into Uncle George’s car without hesitation to
meet his friend at McDonald’s. The rest is reported on
the 6 o’clock news.
It’s disgusting. It makes us sick to our stomachs, but it
happens. Not very often, but often enough that you need
to be forewarned. (Several thousand cyberpredator
cases are opened each year by law enforcement agents in
the United States alone. And there have been several
high profile cases right here in New Brunswick.) But no
matter how often it happens, even once is too often.
Knowing how they operate and the tricks of the trade
will help us teach our child how to avoid being
victimized. Each case differs, but the predators tend to
use the same general tactics. Aside from the “bait and
switch” scam discussed above, they often attempt to
seduce a child. They want the child to “want” them.
The Script - How They Operate Online
They begin by striking up a conversation with the child,
trying to create a relationship of trust and friendship.
They often masquerade as another child or teenager,
typically of the opposite sex, unless the child has
indicated homosexual interests. (The child may or may
not know the “seducer’s” real age by the time they meet
face-to-face.) Phone calls usually start at this point.
Sometimes gifts are sent to the child as well, which may
include a Polaroid camera and film. Once they have
broken down barriers of caution, they begin introducing
sexual topics gradually, often with the use of child
pornography to give the child the impression that other
children are regularly involved in sexual activities.
Then they begin to approach the child’s own sexuality
and curiosity, by asking questions and giving them
“assignments,” like wearing special underwear, sending
sexually suggestive photos of themselves to the
pedophile, or performing certain sexual acts. These
assignments eventually broaden to the exchange of
sexually explicit photographs (using the Polaroid, cell
phone camera or digital camera) or videos of the child.
Finally, the pedophile attempts to arrange a face-to-face
meeting. (He may also have divulged his true age or an
age closer to his actual age at this point.)
POLICE ASSOCIATION
OF
NOVA SCOTIA

Why It Works
All the lectures we have given our children from the time
they are very young about not talking to strangers aren’t
applicable online, where everyone is a stranger. A large
part of the fun online is talking to people you’ve never
met. In addition, our children’s stranger-danger
defenses are not triggered when other kids are involved.
The warnings apply only to adult strangers, not to other
children.
If any of us walked up to a child in a playground and
tried to strike up a conversation, they would ignore us
and probably run away. But if an unknown eleven-yearold came up to another eleven-year-old in the same
playground, they’d be playing in ten seconds flat! That’s
how the pedophiles get in under our kids’ strangerdanger radar - they pretend to be other kids. And
children often believe what they read and hear. They
“know” things about the predator because they believe
what he told them. They also believe what they read
about him in his “staged” profile, which supports what
he told them. So it’s not just true, it’s confirmed.
There are many stages at which the pedophile can be
thwarted by an observant parent. In addition, children
with healthy friendships and a strong, open, and trusting
relationship with their parents are less likely to fall
victim to pedophiles online. Pedophiles typically prey on
a child’s loneliness. They feed the child’s complaints
about her home life - creating an "us-versus-them"
atmosphere. “Your mom is so mean to you! I don’t know
why she won’t let you _____.” (Fill in the blank with
whatever we try and limit: makeup, malls, concerts, etc.)
This atmosphere does two things: It creates a distance
between the child and her parents, at the same time
bringing the child into a special secret alliance with the
pedophile. (You should know that boys are almost as
often the victims of Internet sexual exploitation as girls
are, but they report it less frequently.)
I have followed many cases over the last few years. In my
role as WiredSafety executive director, I’ve also been
responsible for reporting several of these to law
enforcement and for helping many families through the
pain of prosecution. Sometimes we just help the families
survive what the molestation has done to them. (The
child isn’t the only victim - entire families are torn apart
in the aftermath of a molestation.) Parents feel guilty for
not having protected their child, siblings don’t know how
to treat their fellow sibling - the pain can continue for a
lifetime, and even more. And, in addition to being hurt
physically, the young victim's heart is broken by the
betrayal of trust.
Anatomy of a Real and Early Case
One case I reviewed many years ago involved a New
Jersey teenager and an Ohio adult predator. It was one
of the earliest reported cases of cyber-predatorial
conduct, discovered in 1996. Luckily, the liaison was
discovered before the girl met the man face-to-face. But

it had gone on for a year and a half before being
discovered by the girl’s mother. As you read the details,
think about what could have been done to discover the
situation earlier and how you can use these precautions
to protect your children.
Paul Brown, Jr., an Ohio resident, was forty-six years
old. He was also unemployed, weighed over four
hundred pounds, and lived in a basement. He had
accounts with several ISPs. Mary (a hypothetical name
for the young girl involved) was twelve when her
mother, a schoolteacher, bought her a computer,
reportedly because Mary was having problems making
friends. When she got online, Mary posted a message on
an online service, in the spring of 1995, looking for a
pen pal. In her message she described herself as a
teenage girl. Paul Brown, Jr,. responded to the message,
using his real name (something they often do,
surprisingly) but identifying himself as a fifteen-year-old
boy.
Brown and Mary maintained an e-mail and telephone
relationship for several months. As the relationship
became more involved, they began writing letters, and
Mary sent Brown a photograph. He told her that he was
living at home with his mother and was hoping to find a
girlfriend. In early August, Brown asked Mary for a
“favor.” “If I sent you a roll of film, could you get one of
your friends to take pictures of you in different outfits
and maybe hairstyles? Makeup if you use any, and
different poses. Some sexy, if possible. Please. Baby for
me. Thanx. You’re the best. Love Ya.”
Mary complied. For the next eight months, they
continued to converse and correspond, and Mary sent
additional photos. Brown encouraged her with juvenile
antics, such as using stickers in his letters to her saying
things like “Getting better all the time!” In May 1996,
Brown sent Mary a special love note. “Saying I love
you... seems to be an understatement. At the age of 14
you have captured my heart and made it sing... I love
everything about you….”
Shortly thereafter, Brown confessed to being in his
twenties. He also suggested that Mary videotape herself
in sexually provocative poses. She did. After Brown had
reviewed her videotape, he returned it to her with
instructions to redo the tape and include views of her
genitalia and breasts. He later admitted to being
divorced and in his thirties. He reportedly also sent her
small gifts from time to time.
A few months later, in response to Brown’s promise to
pass copies of the tape to four members of a rock band
Mary admired, she sent additional videotapes to Brown.
(Brown told Mary that he knew the band members very
well.) Each tape sent to Brown was designated for a
different member of the band and contained sexually
explicit conduct. Brown apparently had also sent her his
size 48 underwear. When her mother discovered the
underwear, the authorities were notified. Tracing Brown
POLICE ASSOCIATION
OF
NOVA SCOTIA

through phone records, special agents of the FBI in
Cleveland seized the videotapes and photos of Mary
and of more than ten other teenage girls from across the
country.
Mary was fourteen when this was all discovered. Brown
pled guilty to enticing a minor to produce sexually
explicit photos and videos and was sentenced to a little
less than five years in prison (the maximum penalty for
a first offense). In a written statement to Brown
following all of this, Mary said, “I trusted you. I thought
you were my friend.”
There are several things that stand out in this case. One,
interstate phone calls were made by Mary. Parents
should always be reviewing long-distance bills for
suspicious calls. Two, Mary was lonely. These kinds of
children are often the most vulnerable; a parent should
be involved in their online friendships, and monitor their
online lives. And, three, as hard as it is to know what our
kids are doing when we’re not around, especially if we
are a single parent, a year and a half is a long time for a
relationship to be going on undiscovered. We should
spend time learning who our children’s friends are,
online and off.
Knowing a child is lonely and has problems making
friends is the first sign that the child may fall prey to a
pedophile or cyberpredator. Predators can spot lonely
children. They can also spot kids who are new online
and may not yet know all the rules. Broken homes and
homes where the child feels leftout are often the place
where a predator can easily find an online victim. Most
teens, when surveyed, admit to having been
propositioned online. But what may be obvious to a
cyberstreetsmart kid may not be so obvious to a child
not yet familiar with cyberspace. Pedophiles befriend
these kids and patiently build trust and a relationship—
looking toward the day when they can meet face-to-face.
Encourage children to make online friends, but learning
about their online friends is an important way to avoid
these secret relationships. Education is important in
avoiding this danger, too. (Had Mary been forewarned
about how pedophiles operate online, she may have
been more attentive to how old Brown sounded on the
phone, and been more aware of his classic tactics.) So is
control over incoming and outgoing information when
younger children are involved, using technology
blockers, monitors, and filters. These kinds of situations
can be avoided if we plan ahead, educate and
communicate with our children, and keep our eyes
open.
Teaching our teens and preteens that that cute
14-year-old boy may not be cute...may not be 14...and
may not be a boy can help too. Check out our new print
public service announcements at WiredSafety.org. Feel
free to use them and make as many copies as you'd like.

Wired Safety
The world's largest Internet safety, help and education organization
www.wiredsafety.org
Led by Parry Aftab, WiredSafety has more than 9,000
volunteers working throughout the world and offers
one of the largest online safety and education
initiatives available. WiredSafety works to provide
education regarding cybercrime; provides help for
online victims of cybercrime and harassment; assists
law enforcement agencies throughout the world to
prevent and investigate cybercrime; and provides
information regarding online safety, privacy, and
security. WiredSafety also places emphasis on offering
support and training to law enforcement, creating
awareness and cybercrime prevention programs, and
offering expertise to government groups and other
agencies requiring their assistance. WiredSafety also
acts as an umbrella organization overseeing two other
initiatives to increase online safety and awareness:
Wiredkids.org and WiredCops.org.
Child Exploitation Division
As part of the WiredPatrol branch of Wired Safety, the
Child Exploitation Division is dedicated to eradicating
all forms of child exploitation on the Internet,
including child pornography and sexual molestation.
This is accomplished through online and offline
awareness, advertising campaigns, and teams that
investigate child pornography distribution schemes,
and sexual molesters online. WiredPatrol also educates
law enforcement agencies, attorneys, the public, and
educators worldwide.
Being a member of the Child Exploitation Division
involves a substantial amount of time online, where
team members come across images that are sometimes
horrific and disturbing. This division is not for the
faint-hearted. Members are selected by invitation only.
To join the Child Exploitation Division, a potential
member must be at least 25 years of age (or be a
minimum of 21 years of age and have the approval of
the Division Director), have sent in their police letter to
WiredSafety, have completed specific advanced
Wired-Ed classes, and undertaken intensive team
training classes and orientation.
POLICE ASSOCIATION
OF
NOVA SCOTIA

The Child Exploitation Division consists of the
following teams:
Please note that some teams are still under development.
Kidslist Team
WiredSafety’s oldest and most successful team's name
stands for "Kids in Danger." It was set up to deal with
tips received of child pornography and exploitation.
Using tips gathered from the WiredPatrol site and
independent searching on the part of team members,
the Kidslist Team compiles a list of active child
pornography sites that is sent to law-enforcement
agencies (including U.S. Customs), ISPs, portals,
hotlines and to the credit card companies/online
billing services whose products are being used at those
sites. Volunteers of this team are very special. They
have to be able to view some of the most horrendous
images anyone could ever imagine, of children being
sexually molested-as young as only a few months old.
This team is responsible for investigating and reporting
more than 500 child pornography Web sites each
week. They are also responsible for investigating tips of
child pornography trading schemes. They know
firsthand that behind every picture of child pornography is
pain.
Site Tracing Team
As specially trained technology experts, these team
members hunt and track sites and individuals who
trade in child pornography. Using legal methods, they
trace all confirmed child pornography sites to their
origin/site owner and people involved, and to their
e-mail addresses and offline addresses, as well.
Division Training/Orientation Team
Provides ongoing, intensive training to all current and
potential Child Exploitation Division members. These
classes include lessons on the state of the law,
investigation methods, understanding which law
enforcement agencies have jurisdiction over the site
and the child pornographers, and how to determine
whether an image falls under the definition of child
pornography.

Wired-Ed Child Exploitation Team
This group of Wired-Ed instructors provides
information about child exploitation online to other
WiredSafety members, members of the general public,
parents, law enforcement, educators and children.
They also work with Outreach Teams to provide offline
educational and awareness programs on the subject of
online child exploitation.
Information and Statistical Development
Team
This team reviews statistics collected on cases that
WiredSafety has handled and sites that have been
encountered. This allows WiredSafety to view trends
and advise law enforcement, help policy-makers
understand this crime, and demonstrate how molesters
and child pornographers use the technology to cause
more harm to children. This team also provides
statistical data on trends and the state of cybercrimes
against children, including statistics relative to child
pornography sites, to educators, to victim groups and to
governmental policy groups.
Special Case Team
This team works on special assignments with law
enforcement groups to investigate child pornography
rings and schemes, as well as locating and tracking child
molesters who work online to lure children. This is the
only team that acts undercover to flush out child
molesters and child pornographers. This work is always
done under the express direction of and in cooperation
with law enforcement agencies that request
WiredSafety’s help.
Strategic Alliances
Many ISPs and Internet Portals are aiding WiredSafety
in their quest to shut down every child
pornography/exploitation site on the Internet. Most of
the CEOs contacted are more than willing to join and
do their part.
Some Statistics
Of the sites reported to WiredSafety’s child
pornography tip line, approximately 50% are
determined by trained volunteers to consist of child
pornography, while the remainder are determined to be

teens over the age of consent (18 years), or virtual
images not actionable in the applicable country.
WiredSafety is not only keeping track of how many sites
are reported, they are also keeping records of which
country they are from, who is the site service provider
(ISP), who hosts those sites, and even whether they are
a .com or a .net site. WiredSafety is particularly
interested in sites using merchant or credit card
payment programs. With this type of information, the
culprits can be found more easily.
WiredSafety can also lobby to have certain web hosting
sites shut down if they are found to have a high
percentage of child pornography Web sites that
use their service. Credit card providers have a
zero-tolerance policy when it comes to their services
being used by child pornographers at Web sites. Should
it be discovered that certain billing service companies
are providing merchant account services to child
pornography sites even after being apprised of the fact
that child pornography exists on those sites, these
billing service companies will be investigated, as well,
and charges will be pursued
against those companies under
existing criminal laws.
Awareness Campaign "Behind Every Picture
There's Pain"
(See front cover.)
A wonderful advertising agency has kindly developed
an awareness program to help raise public
consciousness and stop the growth of child
pornography online. WiredSafety is looking for
publications to print the advertisements as part of this
public service campaign. WiredSafety hopes to have
these ads appear on television, in major magazines, on
radio, and numerous other places.
These
advertisements will not only inform the public of the
existence of such .atrocities, but also instruct people
about what they can do to help cleanse the Internet of
this filth. There will also be campaigns centered on
cyberstalking, hacking, harassment and other dangers.

Kids in the Know
The New Face of Safety Education
www.kidsintheknow.ca
"Don’t talk to Strangers" has forever been the slogan
of personal safety education. However we now know
that this can cause more harm than actually equip
children with a safety strategy to help protect
themselves from harm.
Stranger" is an abstract concept and difficult for
children to understand. As "stranger" has often been
associated with "bad," "mean," or "ugly" children
become confused when someone they don’t know
speaks to them nicely, looks "friendly," or introduces
himself/herself in a position of authority.
This "stranger" approach to safety becomes confusing
to children as adults interact and speak to "strangers"
everyday. Actually, research indicates that children are
much more likely to be abducted or sexually
exploited by someone they know or with whom they
have come into contact. Therefore, the "stranger"
theory will not usually protect children from
victimization.
There are situations in which children will need to
approach a "stranger" for help. So moreimportantly,
they must learn how to make safe choices about the
type of individual they should approach in an
emergency situation.
A more effective safety strategy is teach children to
make sure that their parents know where they are
going before they go anywhere with anyone. To
reinforce this and other key safety concepts, the Kids
in the Know educational curriculum introduces 7
Root Safety Strategies throughout the program. This
one – 'If you're asked to go and your parents don't
know, shout NO!' is repeated consistently in the
curriculum and replaces the 'Don't talk to strangers'
concept.
Children must learn how to be assertive and to
remove themselves from any situation with anyone
who makes them feel uncomfortable, scared or
hurt. This pertains to root safety strategy: Shout
NO! - Run-Tell Someone.
POLICE ASSOCIATION
OF
NOVA SCOTIA
111
Direct instruction on how to listen to their instincts
when they are warned of danger is also imperative.
This pertains to root safety strategy: Trust Your
Instincts. This should be combined with their
instruction on how to respond safely in situations and
to communicate a message of "I mean business."
Most children are uncomfortable being impolite to
adults. In most cases this is appropriate. However,
they must be taught that if their safety is at risk or if
they are feeling uncomfortable, it is okay to respond
without concern for the feelings of the individual.
This also heightens awareness about the messages
adults communicate to children and their
expectations of how to interact with adults. Many
parents expect their children to express actions of
affection toward particular adults even when their
child is uncomfortable doing so. Adults need to keep
the lines of communication open and actively listen to
children.
How to Prevent Sexual Exploitation
Know where your children are at all times. Be
familiar with their friends and daily activities. Be
sensitive to changes in your children's behavior; they
are a signal that you should sit down and talk to your
children about what caused the changes.
Be alert to a teenager or adult who is paying an
unusual amount of attention to your children or
giving them inappropriate or expensive gifts.
Teach your children to trust their own feelings and
assure them that they have the right to say NO to
what they sense is wrong.
Listen carefully to your children's fears and be
supportive in all your discussions with them.
Teach your children that no one should approach
them or touch them in a way that makes them feel
uncomfortable. If someone does, they should tell the
parents immediately.

Signs of Child Sexual Exploitation
Parents should be alert to the below noted indicators
of sexual and physical abuse and exploitation.
- Changes in behaviour, extreme mood swings,
withdrawal, fearfulness, and excessive crying.
- Changes in bed-wetting, nightmares, fear of going
to bed, or other sleep disturbances.
- Acting out inappropriate sexual activity or showing
an unusual interest in sexual matters.
- A sudden acting out of feelings or aggressive or
rebellious behavior.
- Regression to infantile behavior; clinging.
- School problems, behavior problems.
- Changes in toilet-training habits.
- A fear of certain places, people, or activities; an
excessive fear of going to a certain place.
- Bruises, rashes, cuts, limping, multiple or poorly
explained injuries.
- Pain, itching, bleeding, fluid, or rawness in the
private areas.
You should note that some of these behaviors may
have other explanations, but it is important to assist
your child no matter what the cause of these
symptoms or behaviors.

If a Child Discloses Exploitation
REMEMBER THAT CHILDREN SELDOM LIE
ABOUT ACTS OF SEXUAL EXPLOITATION. It
is important that the child feel that you BELIEVE
what he or she has told you.
SUPPORT THE CHILD AND THE DECISION
TO TELL THE STORY. It is normal for children to
fear telling others - especially parents.
Make it CLEAR that telling you what happened was
the RIGHT THING TO DO and that you will
PROTECT him or her from FUTURE HARM.
RESPECT the CHILD'S PRIVACY. Accompany the
child to a PRIVATE PLACE where he or she can
relate the story. Be careful NOT to discuss the
incident in front of people who do not need to know
what happened.
POLICE ASSOCIATION
OF
NOVA SCOTIA
113
Show PHYSICAL AFFECTION, and express
your LOVE and CONFIDENCE with words and
gestures. Keep OPEN THE LINES OF
COMMUNICATION with the child. In the future it
will be vitally important that the child believe that you
are sympathetic, understanding, supportive, and
optimistic so that he or she will feel comfortable in
making additional disclosures and in discussing
feelings.
YOU MUST ALERT the child protection, youth
services, child abuse, or other appropriate social
services organizations. The police, sheriff's office, or
other law enforcement agency MUST ALSO BE
NOTIFIED.
If you think the child has been physically
injured, SEEK OUT APPROPRIATE MEDICAL
ATTENTION. Remember often we do not realize
that a child who has been sexually exploited is also
physically injured. DO NOT GUESS. Let the
professionals make an independent judgment about
treatment.
Consider the need for COUNSELLING or
THERAPY for the child. To ignore the incident, to
"sweep it under the rug," to act as if it did not happen
is not going to help the child deal with the
exploitation. In deciding what counsellors to use, look
for someone who is experienced in cases of sexual
victimization. Ask about the number of children they
have counseled.
Report any online child sexual exploitation to
CYBERTIP.ca's 24-hour toll-free telephone line to
report ANY information on sexually exploited
children: 1-866-658-9022. This number is available
throughout Canada.
Often children DO NOT disclose about incident(s)
of sexual exploitation. It is up to attentive
adults to recognize the SIGNS OF SEXUAL
EXPLOITATION.

Sex Offender Profiles
A Child Molester is an individual who sexually
molests children. For these purposes, child sex
offenders are divided into the two categories of
Preferential and Opportunistic or Situational Child
Molesters.
Preferential Child Molester
Preferential Child Molesters have a definite sexual
preference for children. Their sexual fantasies and
erotic imagery focus on children. They have sex with
children not because of some situational stress or
insecurity but because they are sexually attracted to
and prefer children. If this individual does not act on
his urges, then he is not a child molester. A
preferential child molester is a pedophile.
Opportunistic or Situational Child Molester
Situational Child Molesters do not have a true sexual
preference for children, but engage in sex with
children for varied and complex reasons. This type of
molester may engage in sex with a child, ranging from
a once-in-a-lifetime act to a long-term pattern of
behavior. The more long-term the behavior is, the
more difficult it is to distinguish from a preferential
molester. Members of lower socioeconomic groups
tend to be over-represented among situational child
molesters. An opportunistic child molester is not
classified as a pedophile.
Adolescent Offenders
An area of increasing attention is that of adolescent
offenders. This type of offender can fit the
characteristics of the preferential or situational child
molester. Adolescent (or younger) offenders should
always be viewed as past or current victims of sexual
abuse. This may include psychological sexual abuse,
inappropriate exposure to sexually explicit materials,
and/or the repeated or inappropriate witnessing of
adult sexual activity.
Question: How does the abuse occur?
Answer: Abuse occurs in a wide range of situations and
settings. For long-term abusers, often, the child
molester will "court" the child with attention,
affection, and gifts. Just as one adult courts another
during a dating process, the pedophile seduces
POLICE ASSOCIATION
OF
NOVA SCOTIA

children over a period of time by gradually lowering
their sexual inhibitions. Sometimes the molester will
tickle, wrestle, or hug the child in the presence of
others first, adding legitimacy to the activity that will
occur later in private. Often a child feels guilty or
ashamed of the abuse. Children may feel that a short
amount of uncomfortable feeling is worth the amount
of attention and affection and perceived care they
receive from the molester.

Strategies of Sex Offenders
Child Predators use a number of techniques to lure
children from their homes, schools, or elsewhere.
There are, however, a number of common themes
that can be watched for. These include the following:
Grooming
Pedophiles often 'groom' their child victims prior to
and during victimization. This involves three general
steps - targeting, non-sexual touching, and sexual
touching.
Targeting Stage
Many preferential child molesters have a "6th sense"
as to who can be more easily victimized They often
target neglected, needy children, often from troubled
homes.
Parents can be 'groomed' as well.
Non-Sexual Touching Stage
Often begins with "accidental" touching
Introduction to pornography
Introduction of alcohol or drugs
Sexual Touching Stage
Sexually assaultive behaviour, ranging from sexual
touching to anal/vaginal intercourse.

CYBERTIP.CA
WHAT IS CYBERTIP.CA?
Cybertip.ca is Canada's National Tipline for
reporting the online sexual exploitation of children.
It is a centralized web portal for receiving and
addressing reports from the public regarding child
pornography, luring, child sex tourism, and children
who are exploited through prostitution. Cybertip.ca
also provides the public with information, referrals
and other resources to help Canadians keep their
children safe while on the Internet.
Child Find Manitoba's Cybertip.ca operates as one
of the organization's core services. Although the
majority of Cybertip.ca's reports are provided
online, the public is also able to contact the tipline
by phone or fax.
CYBERTIP.CA'S MANDATE
As Canada's National tipline, Cybertip.ca's mandate
is to protect children from online sexual exploitation
by:
• receiving and analyzing tips from the public
about potentially illegal material and activities
regarding the online sexual exploitation of
children, and referring leads to the appropriate
law enforcement agency; and
• providing the public with information and other
resources, as well as support and referral
services to help Canadians keep themselves and
their families' safe while on the Internet.
Since launching Cybertip.ca in September 2002, the
tipline has forwarded reports to law enforcement
that have resulted in 27 arrests and the removal of as
many as 2100 websites.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
If a person comes across child pornography online,
or if they believe someone is attempting to lure a
child for sexual purposes or commit some other
sexual offence against a child, they submit a report
to Cybertip.ca by visiting www.cybertip.ca and
POLICE ASSOCIATION
OF
NOVA SCOTIA

filling out an online reporting form, calling a
toll free number (1-866-658-9022), or faxing
(1-204-948-2177)
the
report
information.
Cybertip.ca analysts are available 24 hours a day, 7
days per week to accept calls from those who require
direct assistance. In order to prevent the potential
transmission of child pornography to Cybertip.ca
(which is unlawful in Canada), email reports are not
accepted.
Cybertip.ca content analysts review, prioritize and
analyze every report they receive. After the report
has been reviewed, the content analysts verify the
report by collecting supporting information using
various Internet tools and techniques. If the web site
or other subject matter in question is assessed to
contain potentially illegal material, a report is
referred to the appropriate law enforcement agency.
Cybertip.ca also gathers critical statistics and
information for use by law enforcement and in
public policy development.
If the subject matter of the report falls outside of
Cybertip.ca's mandate or is assessed to be legal,
although perhaps offensive in nature, Cybertip.ca
provides Internet safety information to the
complainant on subjects such as Internet filters,
email spam solutions, victim referrals, common lures
used by child predators, or other resources that can
assist the complainant in addressing their concerns.
By utilizing its web portal and email facilities,
Cybertip.ca can disseminate Internet safety
information and other resources in an extremely
cost effective manner that is both highly visible and
accessible.
Cybertip.ca operates as a clearinghouse or "front
door" to the Canadian public for reporting offences
related to the online sexual exploitation of children.
In this role, Cybertip.ca is the first point of contact
with the Canadian public and not only serves to
avert the exploitation of children but also bridges
the gap between those who want to report online
victimization and law enforcement agencies who
need the information to conduct an investigation.

Cybertip.ca relies on complaints submitted by the
Canadian public and does not proactively seek out
illegal online material. Additionally, Cybertip.ca
does not store or maintain a database of child
pornography images and does not contact or
otherwise engage alleged offenders in any way.
Success Stories
1 A mother in Ontario contacted Cybertip.ca
through the toll-free number after she learned
that her fourteen year old daughter had been
conversing with a thirty-five year old male on the
Internet. The mother found evidence on her
child's computer that the male suspect had been
sending her child pornography images. A
Cybertip.ca analyst conducted various searches,
added value, and verified the information
provided. The report was then referred to
Kingston Police Services. Upon further
investigation, it was discovered that the child had
been conversing online with other adult males
and had been sexually assaulted by a male out of
Pennsylvania. This male was arrested and
charged with four different counts relating to
this case. Additionally, other female victims were
identified and law enforcement expect that
he will be incarcerated in the US for up
to thirty years, preventing further
victimization of young girls.
2 In August 2004, Cybertip.ca received 3 reports
from different sources indicating that there
may be a Canadian website hosting child
pornography images. Cybertip.ca analysts
examined the contents of the website, "Lost
Youth," and determined that there were images
being posted on this site that would be
considered to be illegal child pornography
images. Searches determined that the website
was being hosted by a company from
Chateauguay, Quebec. The file was
forwarded to the SQ Cyber-surveillance
Unit, and as a result of this intervention,
the site has been shut down.
3 Cybertip.ca was provided with an online report
from a concerned moderator of an MSN Trivia
chatroom. The reporting person had been
informed that an individual from Manitoba had
been chatting with an adult female member and
requested to see pictures of the female's
twenty-one month old daughter so that he could
POLICE ASSOCIATION

masturbate to the images. Information was
obtained on the individual's IP address, and a
possible identity of the suspect was made.
Cybertip.ca forwarded the report to the
Winnipeg Police Service Child Abuse
Unit, who subsequently arrested a
twenty-three year old male and charged
him
with
possession
of
child
pornography.
4 In July 2004, Cybertip.ca received an online
report from an employer in Toronto who had
tracked one of his employee's computer usage
and sites visited. He discovered that the
individual was visiting illegal websites to
download images of child pornography.
Cybertip.ca verified the information prior to
forwarding it to the Toronto Police Service's
Child Pornography Unit. After an extensive
investigation, the Unit uncovered two additional
computers at the suspect's home, both
containing stored child abuse images. A
thirty-three year old male was arrested
in August and charged with accessing
and possessing child pornography.
5 A concerned friend from California contacted
Cybertip.ca about a young boy who was being
molested by his father and his father's friends.
The individual reported that the boy was forced
to get naked while the adult males took
photographs and videos of him and another boy.
He was also made to look at pornography on the
computer. The boy was threatened that if he
ever told anyone, they would hurt his mommy.
After a brief review, Cybertip.ca
immediately forwarded the information
to the National Child Exploitation
Coordination Centre.

What is CyberWise.ca?
Industry
Canada
industrie
Canada
Not so long ago, the most important advice
you could give a child about the big bad
world was, "Never talk to strangers." The
Internet has vaporized that golden rule, at
least in the world we know as
cyberspace. If kids have logged onto the World
Wide Web, sent an e-mail or entered a chat
room, it's a certainty that they've also talked to strangers.
In fact, kids are talking to strangers in greater numbers
than ever before. Clearly, it's time to develop new
advice, advice that addresses this new reality.
It is in this context that CyberWise.ca was created.
CyberWise is managed by the Industry Canada team
that put together the SchoolNet program, a trusted
name providing learning resources for millions of
Canadian students and teachers.
CyberWise.ca provides information, resources and
useful links on how to use the Internet safely. In
addition, CyberWise offers, among other things, a chat
dictionary, activities to do in the classroom, games for
younger kids, and a description of online dangers, such
as cyberbullying, child pornography and luring.
CyberWise.ca is part of the National Strategy for the
Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation on the
Internet created by the Canadian government in 2004.
Mandate
CyberWise allows Industry Canada to pursue partnerships with the e-learning industry, the private sector, and
local and provincial levels of government in order to
educate and raise public awareness about the Internet.
Research, creation of learning activities and other
online resources, distribution of its brochure, its two
posters, two bookmarks and one-pager are the means
deployed by CyberWise to promote the safe use of the
Internet to children, youth, parents, teachers and youth
professionals.
Moreover, since January 2006, CyberWise.ca has
distributed, on request, several thousands of their
materials, to schools and Canadians in general.
National Strategy for the Protection of
Children from Sexual Exploitation on the
Internet
Goal of the Strategy
Enhanced protection of children on the Internet and
enhanced pursuit of those who use technology to
exploit them.
Why a strategy?
The safety and well-being of children and youth is a
critical issue for the Government of Canada who is
engaged in ongoing work to combat their exploitation
and to make Canada a place in which children and
youth can safely live and flourish.
Keeping children and youth safe in their homes, schools
and on the street is vital, but governments all over the
world now recognize that technological developments of
the past decade have created new threats to the security
of youth. In partnership with the other G8 countries,
Canada has helped advance international policy to protect children from sexual exploitation on the Internet. In
March 2004, the Government of Canada announced
funding for its own National Strategy for the Protection
of Children from Sexual Exploitation on the Internet.
While the Government acknowledges the potential for
economic growth that the Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) will continue to
create for Canada, it also recognizes the need to help
Canadians manage some of the associated risks that are
part and parcel of the World Wide Web. The National
Strategy will therefore provide support in three areas.
The first of these provides strengthening of the enforcement capacity of the RCMP through the expansion of
the National Coordination Centre for Exploited
Children.
The second is for the expansion, in partnership with
Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada, of
the Cybertip.ca website as the national tipline for
reporting cases of sexual exploitation of children on the
Internet.
The third allows for the development of the Industry
Canada's CyberWise Website.

Online chatting, where two people communicate by typing at the computer, is a normal part of everyday life for kids
nowadays. If you don't know the lingo, however, you might be baffled by the cryptic acronyms you see on-screen.
This dictionary will help you decipher what your kids are saying in chat rooms and other online services like instant
messaging (MSN, etc.).

Internet Filter Reviews
Why Internet Filter Software?
The Internet is one of the greatest inventions of all time.
As our families become increasingly intertwined with it,
the more active role we must take to protect our loved
ones from Internet pornography. Although nothing can
take the place of a well-informed parent that takes an
active part in their children's online activities, Internet
filter software adds a strong, additional layer of
defense-giving parents an added measure of control and
further peace of mind.
Internet filter software gives you the ability to control
content displayed, block websites and set up passwords.
Powerful services like email filtering, popup blocking and
chat room monitoring are just some of the tools available
with today's Internet filter software-each designed to
protect against and counteract the tactics of aggressive
online porn companies.
With so many Internet filter software choices available,
researching and choosing the Internet filter that's right for
your family can be complex and time-consuming-that's
where we can help.
Within this site, you'll find articles about Internet
pornography, recent news stories, side-by-side
comparisons and comprehensive reviews on Internet filter
software that will help you make a fast, informed decision.
At TopTenREVIEWS - We do the research so you don't
have toT.
What to look for in Internet Filter Software
Even though the perfect Internet Filter does not exist in
today's marketplace, there are a number of great solutions
depending on your family's needs. Below are the criteria
TopTenREVIEWS used to evaluate Internet filter
software:
• Ease of Use – The most important attribute an
Internet filter program can offer is an easy-to-use
design, making it possible for people with all levels of
computer experience to easily install and use the filter
to its fullest capacity.
• Effective at filtering – Top Internet filter software
offers a good balance between filtering objectionable
material and not filtering too much content. Another
important aspect is the ability to customize the filter's
sensitivity for each family member.
• Filtering algorithm – The best filter programs use
a combination of filtering techniques, including URL
filtering, keyword filtering and dynamic filtering.
• Activity reporting – The most useful Internet filter
software offer reports on what each family member
has been doing on the computer, which includes
Excellentactivities and so on.

• Foreign language filtering – Effective Internet
filter programs offer the capacity to filter keywords in
multiple languages. One of the tricks that many
teenagers have discovered to bypass Internet filters is
to type in the foreign language equivalent of certain
keywords.

• Port filtering and blocking – Filtering programs
should block or filter all major Internet protocols,
including web access, chat rooms, email, peer-to-peer
networks, bulletin boards and popup windows
With Internet filter software and proper supervision,
parents can keep their families safe and sound from the
ever-present problem of online pornography.
