In Mexico City, Mexico there has been film on DVD's and CD's that have been recovered that have pictures of children in sexual acts. Seven people were arrested for these acts, including someone you never thought would do such a thing, a Roman Catholic Priest. They were all arrested for this child pornography ring that they had going on. The seven people who were arrested are being charged for "distribulting a hundred thousand pictures and videos to people around the globe, and the pictures and videos are from children all around the world" said Mexico's Attorney General, Miguel Angel Mancera. There had to have been a huge number of child victims in the act but the number was not released but, the Attorney General, Miguel did say that the children were all under the age of ten. He also said that all the DVD's, CD's and the computer have been taken from all seven of the people that were involved and arrested.

I personally can't believe that this happened. Children all under the age of ten? This is horrible! I think that it's definitely a good thing that these seven people were caught and arrested. I think what suprised me the most was that a Roman Catholic priest took part in all of this. It's suprising to me in an upsetting way that this happen to these children, and that these video's and pictures have been released to who knows how many different people around the world. Why do people do such things, why do they think that what they were doing is okay? I will never know the answer to these questions but what I do know is, it's wrong, and not right, illegal. Why can this people think that they can just go against what is right in the world and do something as wrong as this?
