www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday May 9, 2008 - 5 Do you know what your children are surfing? Continued from page 3 knowing that the person who made them is out there and needs to be taken off the street. Goldschmidt is of a similar opinion. "Ultimately what you want to do is make sure you have all your evidence in order. Build a good case that you can present to the Crown Attorneys, who will then prosecute the case in court," he said. "When you get that ultimate conviction that's the driving force that keeps everybody going." One such success came on Feb. 11 when Halton's ICE Unit took part in a provincial takedown that saw 16 different police services go on the offensive against child pornography in Ontario. By the end of the crackdown, 27 people were arrested with one Milton man and one Burlington man among those facing charges of possessing, distributing and accessing child pornography. In other incidents involving international law enforcement agencies, some suspects were saved from prosecution when vital information took so long to get to Halton, the police could not act on it. However, even these suspects did not get off completely. "In cases like that we may go and talk to the people," said Overholt. "You'll get some who will deny it, some that are shocked and they won't say anything to you. Usually it's nice to get the husband and wife sitting down at the same table when you talk about that." Having seen first hand what child pornographers do to their victims, being in the presence of one can be a particularly tempting experience for a police officer. For Goldschmidt, urges to beat a grown man, who has had sex with a young child and then posted the crime online are kept in check by one thing. "Willpower," he said. "It all goes back to wanting to get the job completed. If you deal with them that way, you're going to have problems in the long run because he is most likely not going to get what he deserves, going through the court system, being convicted and sentenced to do his time." This explanation also rings true for Wilkinson. "We're professionals. We've been police officers for a long time," he said. "Part of being a police officer is that you're going to see some things that most people will never see in their lifetime. You deal with it, that's your job." Besides fighting child pornography, the Halton ICE Unit is also working to combat child luring, which involves an adult using the Internet to lure a child somewhere to molest them or worse. Overholt said parents can protect their children from this type of Internet crime by having the computer in the family room where the parents can see what the child is doing online. Parents should also know the websites their child visits. "One of the things we tell kids is that they need to report unusual activities and behaviour on the Internet to their parents," said Goldschmidt. "If something makes you feel uncomfortable in the hallway of your school, you would tell your teacher. If something happens on the Internet that you're uncomfortable with, you should be telling someone about it." The Indian food Oakville has bee waiting for...
