I went to work this am, and was reading the daily newspaper as it was a little early for me to start work. I was sickened with this story.
I have been reading this forum for a week or so, thought I would add this.
This is a joke

A COP caught with "disgusting" child porn on his computer walked free from a court yesterday.
Sgt Antony Vodden, 46, was trapped in a sting, after contacting an undercover Australian policewoman in a paedophile chatroom.
The married father of two sent her obscene messages and boasted of molesting kids aged ten and 15.
British police raided his home and seized his computer.
Southwark Crown Court, South London, heard that experts discovered 110 deleted downloaded images, including 12 at the second highest level of severity.
Judge John Price said Vodden's behaviour was "disgusting" - adding: "These were not cartoon figures, they were real children being abused by adults."
Vodden, of Uxbridge, North West London, had previously been found guilty of making indecent images of children.
He was given a nine-month prison sentence, suspended for 15 months, and ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register.
He has also been dismissed from the Metropolitan Police after 24 years.
In mitigation, defence counsel Guy Ladenburg said Vodden had been abused as a child.
But the judge told Vodden: "You should have realised, if it happened to you, what effect it has. To look at children being abused is beyond my comprehension."
When Police, and supposedly trusted figures are convicted of these offences it makes you wonder if their activities have compromised decisions they have used in office?
Did this guy just wake up one morning and start indulging in this or has it been going on a long time.
