Title: CHILD PORNOGRAPHY
Document: PDF
Journal: FBI LAW ENFORCEMENT BULLETIN  Volume:48  Issue:2  Dated:(FEBRUARY 1979)  Pages:18-20
Author(s): I MCKINNON
Date Published: 1979
Annotation: IN THIS DISCUSSION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY AND PROSTITUTION, THE VICTIMS AND OFFENDERS ARE CHARACTERIZED AND LAW ENFORCEMENT PREVENTION AND INVESTIGATION EFFORTS ARE DESCRIBED.
Abstract: THE MAJORITY OF CHILDREN RECRUITED INTO CHILD PORNOGRAPHY ARE BOYS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 9 AND 14. THEY ARE FROM BROKEN HOMES OR ARE RUNAWAYS, AND OFTEN HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED CHILDREN. THEY ARE LURED INTO THIS BUSINESS BY 'CHICKEN PIMPS,' TYPICALLY WHITE MALES BETWEEN 30 AND 40, MARRIED, AND WITH GOOD JOBS. THE PIMP LURES THE CHILD THROUGH VEILED FRIENDSHIP OR PROMISE OF MONEY OR DRUGS, OR ABDUCTS THE CHILD. ACCORDING TO EVIDENCE GATHERED OVER SEVERAL YEARS BY THE DETROIT (MICH.) POLICE DEPARTMENT SEX CRIME UNIT, CHILD PORNOGRAPHY PRODUCTS ARE MARKETED THROUGH A SUBCULTURE OF SMALL DEALERS WHO MAKE THEM ACCESSIBLE TO READY CUSTOMERS. THE UNIT IS COLLABORATING WITH FEDERAL AND STATE AUTHORITIES ON INITIATING PROSECUTION FOR TRANSMITTING OBSCENE MATERIAL THROUGH THE MAIL AND IS DEVELOPING CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES TO OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROCURERS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ENLISTMENT OF CHILDREN INTO PORNOGRAPHIC SERVICES. POLICE AND PARENTS DEALING WITH CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN EXPLOITED IN THIS MANNER SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER TO BE COMPASSIONATE, REMAIN CALM, AND RELIEVE THE CHILD OF ANY GUILT FEELINGS. (DAG)
