Its not enough just to know your way around a keyboard to be a cyber detective able to lead a hunt on Internet. Last and not least, I note complete apathy in the political world to admit or query the existence of the problem. The president of Le Bouclier believes there are between 90000 and 300000 children in danger in France. Incest and family violence are the most common problems. Isolated paedophiles are routinely questioned.
Statistics show that they are often teachers or trainers, priests or clergy, operating on their own.
Quite another thing is the existence of networks run by pimps. Money associated with child rape. Children coming through some clandestine immigration channel pose a real problem. Such children, with no proof of identity, are ideal victims for traffickers in this sordid world. After the initial impact in the media following these four operations in 1996 and 1997, the tendency has been to deny all existence of a structured network in France.
