Last year, Microsoft, Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) teamed with detectives at Toronto's Child Exploitation Section, acclaimed for its work tracking down child pornographers on the Internet, to create a software program with the purpose of helping hunt down these child pornography Internet traffickers around the world.
Yesterday, a man was arrested in Ontario after he showed images of his sexual exploitation of a preschool girl on the Internet. He transmitted the live assault to an undercover detective in Toronto. Police managed to rescue the girl two hours later from a city in southwestern Ontario.
The detective, Krawczyk , who witnessed the live assault and wanted to reach the girl at that moment, said, "The message to all pedophiles, and people who want to sexually exploit children on the Internet is that we are on the Internet 24/7, we know where you are and we will find you."
Naturally, the police would not disclose any information about what programs they use and how they track the individuals down. If Microsoft had helped in any way, however, then I salute them.

When someone is caught this red handed we should follow a certain US state and give em the needle. If thats to drastic for you, how about we send them to a deserted island surrounded by sharks. Atleast start putting the predators in general pop and let nature take it's course. Katies Revenge, hmmm....
