A FATHER caught his young daughter having internet sex with a pervert in her bedroom.
He walked into the schoolgirl's bedroom and saw explicit messages on her computer screen.
He realised the pervert was still online and called police.
Officers later tracked down and arrested 43-year-old Ian Saville.

Detectives found Saville, from Halifax, had been in regular contact with the girl, from Heywood, during February, 2009.
He had told his victim she was 'sexy' and suggested he wanted to perform a sex act on her during one webchat.
Both could see each other with webcams and Saville repeatedly exposed himself to the girl.
Saville, who police say knew the girl's age, also persuaded her to expose herself and perform a sex act on herself.
Saville's sex crimes were uncovered when the victim's father went into her bedroom at their home in Heywood on February 28.
The pervert was tracked down at his home on Washington Street, Halifax, on March 15.
Yesterday he was jailed for two years at Bolton Crown Court and ordered to sign the sex offenders' register for ten years.
He admitted 12 counts of sexual activity in the presence of a child and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
Nightmares
His victim has suffered nightmares following the incidents, say police.
After the case, Det Con Ian Bell, from the child protection unit at Rochdale police, said: “Saville is a perverted man who has targeted a young girl for his own sick sexual gratification.
“Because of what he has done, an innocent girl has been left having nightmares and terrified by this awful ordeal.
“This case once again reminds us of some of the types of people who trawl the internet for victims.
“Greater Manchester Police is committed to bringing offenders like Saville to justice, but I would urge parents to always be mindful of what type of site their children are visiting and if they have any concerns to please call police.”
Anyone else who thinks they may have been a victim of Saville is asked to call the Child Protection Unit on 0161 856 8067.

Or perhaps we should follow the instructions given by Jesus and throw them into the sea with a millstone around their necks.

You seem to have a mistaken impression of socialists, for example Stalin, Mao and others were more than happy to use the kind of punishments you seem to like.
Could you reference the quote from Jesus, or at least clarify if that is before or after turning the other cheek?

Thanks, also Luke 17. Although the children appeared to be metaphorical rather than actual, "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." 18:3
Some of the later passage was quite alarming, I am not sure I fancy leaving any of my limbs behind.
The need for forgiveness should not be overlooked either, Matthew 18:21, 22 (one should forgive sinners either 77 or 7 x 70 depending on the translation), or even seven times in one day, Luke 17:5

Is 'socialist' a word you read on here and didn't bother to look up? And as for Jesus - I had no idea he had broadband?

Unfortunately mate we live in this lousey country where the government and the law wont do anything to rock the boat or protect innocent people? we lock up criminals who steal money for a long time and yet these scummy criminals get off with light sentencing .all of these animals should be castrated and tatooed on their face that they have committed a sex offence ,like rapists etc.

But there was a web cam, the girl could see this muppet and STILL exposed herself to him, had cybersex with him. It takes two to tango as they say, so what on earth was she playing at? And now she's having nightmares?
Please do not insult the intelligence by saying these "children" are manipulated because if you have ever seen some of these "schoolchildren" travelling to and from school or worse, around your town centres at night, you will understand that the term "children" can hardly be applied.
The media has turned young girls into adults years before their time, and have made young girls so aware of the power of their sexuality that it is frightening.
Just for reference read the article in the Daily Mail on 1-May last year entitled "Rise of the Child Women" , girls as young as 10 who dream of manicures and breast implants. I'm sure it will be still available on-line.
And you wonder why there as so many perverts these days. Well I don't! Not while the media is obsessed with manufacturing the very goods they desire!

Another fascinating issue involved here is the influence the internet has had on sexual behaviour. The availability of people willing to indulge your every desire and fantasy is almost infinite and the ‘promotion’ of varied sexual practices leads to normalisation; in your own mind, if not in society in general. I am not a prude by any stretch of the imagination and have indulged in many, many of my own fantasies but I do worry about where it will stop and I cannot see an effective way of curtailing it. The internet isn’t, and never will be, self policing, it is too far advanced to ever be censored to any great effect and I can only see personal restraint as being the limiting factor, which in a lot of cases is a tad worrying.
