Product Description

Product Description
The internet has helped make child abuse terrifyingly common - it is the new face of crime in the 21st century. There are tens, probably hundreds of thousands of children whose sexual abuse has been electronically recorded and distributed on the Internet. "One Child At A Time" goes behind the headlines to show how law officers are fighting back against this tide of abuse, from daring rescues in homes and monitoring chatrooms to the seizures of millions of dollars in the offshore bank accounts of the porn merchants. In riveting detail, Julian Sher shows how clue by clue, and image by image, international investigators are using modern techniques and old-fashioned police-work to catch the perpetrators and rescue the victims - children whose images can cross the world in seconds and be duplicated in moments.

About the Author
Canadian Julian Sher is an award-winning investigative journalist. His book Until You are Dead, is being made into a TV mini-series, and The Road to Hell, won the Canadian True Crime Book of the Year.

5.0 out of 5 stars A global war , 7 Jun 2008
"Who saves one child, saves the world entire". These are words that you truly believe after reading Julian Sher's excellent / deeply disturbing book about crimes that should not exist in this world.
Having read his excellent co-authored book on the Hells Angels, i knew this book would make for unsettling yet compelling reading. Indeed, i hadn't even finished reading the first page, when i was reaching for my bottle of Corona to steady my nerves.
This isn't an exploitative book about innocents though, and the subject matter is handled extremely professionaly and sensitively. The focus being on those brave people who every day, trawl through an endless sewer of depravity.It is the dedication of these men and women that make their success stories so gratifying, who sometimes have spent over a year trying to rescue a child / catch an offender, before results have come their way. As a reader, you feel their frustration, their heartache, but ultimately their elation, when victory does come to them and justice is served.
'One Child at a Time' doesnt focus specifically on one particular area of child abuse though, and covers a wide range of topics, looking at the profiteers of the internet, the creators of the images, and those self-deluded individuals who view them and think that just because they are not harming the children / babies (yes babies!!) they are not guilty of child abuse (take note Chris Langham).
As distressing as this book is, you are left with a small feeling of hope though, that there are many committed organisations out there tring to save children. It was also interesting to note that Bill Gates has contributed his help to this ongoing war.
It is a global war though as the author points out, and it has infected every corner of this world of ours, such is the power of the internet. With great technological breakthroughs, there comes a price, and here it is the ruining of a childs life / soul / mind, the most precious thing there is.
The solution to fixing the problem isnt so simple though as this book highlights, and while locking every individual up forever involved in this filth sounds great, that isnt the way the world works. Indeed, the author shows examples where rehabilitation does work, but highlights that more people / sectors need to get involved. Being a parent myself, i would be less than thrilled if a paedophile was in my neighbourhood, but would be slightly less worried if i knew that, that individual couldnt even turn on 'Cbeebies' without a copper breathing down his (or her) neck.
Overall, i would highly recommend this book, but to those types of individual who look to this book to find tips on how to stay ahead of the law, all you are going to find is fear. Fear in the knowledge that one day you will eventually be caught.
