NYT On The Internet And Child Molestation

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the disturbing-links dept.

prostoalex writes "In a long and disturbing story on child molesters, the New York Times Magazine among other issues researches the impact of the Internet on the child molesters. While officially the number of child molestations did not change significantly, Dr. Fred Berlin, associate professor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, considers the Internet to be a new vehicle for child molestation: 'There are three areas of concern. First, the illusion of anonymity -- an illusion because Internet use can be easily tracked -- leads to disinhibition. Second, there's a blurring of fantasy and reality. There's someone at the other end of the Internet conversation, but it's not quite a real person; there's a feeling of playing a game that can lead to actually doing what one otherwise wouldn't. Third, the easy accessibility can facilitate moving over boundaries.'"

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - late night legend Johnny Carson was found dead in his Malibu home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.


    (actually, yeah...)

      That does not change the fact that Johnny Carson is an american icon. He was American... it was hosted in America, and the first show when he introduced Groucho Marx Mr. Carson first words were, "Boy, you would think it was Vice President Nixon." The man hosted the Tonight Show for 30 years (1962-1992).

      Second question:
      Did you type all that yourself? Tried to google part of it, but came away with nothing.

      It's all in 'words' of 5 characters, broken up into 'sentances' of 5 words. Way too regular to be random. And the pattern of letters isn't consistent with hitting keys at random.

      Looks like some sort of encryption, although what he's trying to say I have no idea. Probably something obscene. God I'm bored.
