      I see it as a mental illness. I had to write a pervy character, the once, and it took me a Hell of an effort to find the mind-set that allowed me to make him real. I had to all but break my mind to do it. It's simply not natural to look at children and have sexual thoughts; the genetic imperative is to protect and nurture them, so that they can grow and procreate themselves, extending the lifespan of the species. I was in a sh1tty mood for weeks, after I handed it in. Peace of mind was not possible; I was best avoided. Even thinking back to it now, I'm getting the same, sh1tty, nasty feelings. Pass me a troll. I feel like biting someone's head off.

        As there are actually people who enjoy that horror why not employ some of those caught to do that job. They are already corrupted and are now in state control, make let them troll through the stuff that would turn a normal persons stomach. I am assuming you cannot actually rehabilitate the worst offenders so why not use them as a resource.

        I don't know about that. Someone would interpret it as rewarding them for being sick and depraved.

            I've done it once: the MD insisted that I spent a day looking at all the pron on an employee's computer - soon to be ex employee - who I'd found out was spending several work hours a day surfing NSFW sites. On dial up fer gawds sake! He wanted to know if there was anything involving children - worst working day of my entire life, and not one I ever want to repeat, despite thankfully finding nothing illegal. The employee went from General Manager on a good salary to night shift shelf stacker in a supermarket (pron during work hours wasn't the only thing he was doing, and his wife found out some of the ... um ... others. I feel for the poor sods who do that every day: not a good job at all.

            I once had to "take over" the computer of an employee who spent most of his time drunk. In the previous three months he'd downloaded some very expensive, stolen software (for running music sturdios), and rearranged about ten lines of code in one file. And I do mean rearrange. That was his entire contribution to the company for those 90 days (and thank God since they guy was a terrible developer, even when sober. He had, however, soon after I arrived drive home the point of never slip-streaming just DLLs/SharedObjects onto a server, by doing just that and crashing it.)

              Mind you he is pretty old isnt he? Perhaps he is no longer capable of finding such material so engaging. :)

                I find your decision wrong. I would have told authorities. I am confident that I can find a job and make a living for me and family. Even if I had to be jobless for a while I would. Why? Because I think he was probably one step away for doing these wicked things if not there already.

                My first reaction was to delete the stuff, get rid of it. After that, I had no evidence and would have had to leave the country after losing my job! I also had all the other employees to think about.

                - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
