This is a kinda follow-up of Cowboy's post
Got it of the news a bit ago.

Holding a news conference with FBI officials, Ashcroft revealed that the sting operation had begun in January 2001 and that it continues.
``In the past 14 months,'' he said, ``all 56 national FBI field offices investigated hundreds of individuals who were subscibers to the 'Candyman' email group.'' Ashcroft said that among those caught in the sting were police officers, members of the clergy and - in one case - a bus driver
.
He said that prior to Monday's announcement, the FBI had arrested 86 people ``on child pornography grounds'' and that 27 members of the ``Candyman'' email group have been arrested and admitted to molesting 36 children.

with an operation such as this one happening it can only be a major kick-start to a bigger crack down on child abuse in all other areas. Especially with the clergy getting so much exposure.

A BUS DRIVER!

Say it isn't so!

What foul perfidy skulks the shadows!

Oh, I am shocked and wounded to the core of my heart!

The heros of my youth lie shattered. I am broken.

This stuff really sickens me - and I am glad law enforcement is doing their part to bring it down.

That said - I have a question for internet computer savvy types. My son (15 years old) and a lot more savvy than I am has been using a software called Morpheus to download music files. Lately he has been getting into Bob Marley and other Reggae artists and may start a band playing this music with some school buddies.
The other night I check the computer - Morpheus is running, but all the retrieve and send files listed are some of the most disgusting child porn topics I have ever seen. It did not appear that my son was downloading or sending anything - when asked he told me that the site just monitors what files people are sharing with each other. I told him to delete Morpheus and that I would try and confirm what really is happening. I don't want to freak out anymore than I already have. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated!

All best,
Mak

I'm fairly certain your son is lying to you.. Morpheus monitors what you are downloading, and what others are downloading from you. I'd talk to him about it.

The scary thing is that I've recieved several emails containing links to such sites. Pisses me off pretty bad so I always report them to the following websites:

Morpheus is a file sharing program, like napster was, or grockster, audioglaxy. With it one can search for whatever he wants. If one searches for gospel music, one can download that. Porn, programs, pictures, whatever other people w morpheus or kazaa make available. The user tells morpheus where to download to. After that, it can be moved anywhere. Are you sure it wasn't just regular hard porn? He is that age.

The same thing happened here. I clicked on "Teen sites" to see what was floating around that my teen would be viewing. I could not believe what popped up.!!!!!!!!!
O H M Y G A W D ! I forward it to the ISP and they sent me and e-mail appalogizing.
My son uses Morpheus when downloading music. I haven't noticed that happening.
