Man Barred From Being Alone With Daughter After Informing Police of Porn On PC

First time accepted submitter robably writes "A man who informed police when he found child abuse images on his computer has not been allowed to be alone with his daughter for four months. Nigel Robinson from Hull said he called police after trying to download music but instead finding pornographic images on his laptop last November. As a result social services said he 'should not have unsupervised access with his own or other children.'"

    The RIAA now has resorted to other means of enforcing their copyrights than normal lawsuits, they have opted instead to inject illegal photos into popular music torrents. More news at 11.

    He's a snitch. Of course he should be persecuted. Worst of all, he snitched one the one person who should have been able to count on his loyalty and discretion: himself.

    Never talk to the Pigs. There is never, and has never been any interaction with the police that will ever benefit you in any way.

    You forgot to add: "...unless you're filthy rich."

    Clearly, there is a moral lesson here: if you don't know enough about your computers to keep child porn off them, you will probably not be an effective parent. East Riding social services should be complimented for bringing to light this previously unknown connection. Perhaps other similar relationships exist, such as improperly weeded gardens leading to revocation of driver's licences, or lawyers disbarred for insufficient knowledge of breakfast cereal jingles.

    There's a new iPad. With 120% more horizantal who-gives-a-shits and a whole bunch of new big-fucking-deals available on the app store.

    And you guys are talking about this nonsense? Defending a guy with a hard drive full of child porn, that just somehow "magically" got there, he doesn't know how - a wizard did it?

    iPad people, iPad. Apple isn't paying you to defend child molesters, it's paying you to sell them more iPads.

    It reminds me of that episode of COPS which opens with an elderly woman in a gas station. The woman holds up a rock of crack, telling the cop it was she that called them because somebody sold her that rock of crack.

    The episode comes to a close immedately as the cops cuff her on the spot without question and take her in.

    Try reporting something to them like finding child pornography on your computer and see what happens.

    Get off of Slashdot! Everybody knows that all police are working full time on edge cases and civil liberties abuses that are in no way effective at preventing, detecting or punishing any individual occurrence of any widespread crime!

    Depends on whether the teenager distributing the child pornographic images of themselves are prosecuted as an adult or not.

    I so wish....

    I wish we could just email every politician in Congress a file containing Child Porn and then have them all arrested. But sadly, laws only work that way against the little guy.
