Thank you for helping restore innocence in the world. In Job 33: 25-26, it is written about the healing power of God, "let their flesh be renewed like a child's; let them be restored as in the days of their youth—then that person can pray to God and find favor with him, they will see God's face and shout for joy; he will restore them to full well-being." Innocence is more than a freedom from sexual exploitation; it is the dwelling in the mercy and love of a greater power who can free us from all things dark and cruel.

I am accepting of all views; I can accept all beliefs, this doesn't mean however that I will agree. You're no better then a pedophile? I'm sorry I struggle to grasp this. You are making it sound like pedophilia and petty crime are the same. Sin is not sin. There are varying degrees. I can forgive murderers, and other criminals; but not pedophiles. Not someone who is willing to take everything from a child; someone who will ruin their lives forever. In my eyes that is unforgivable.

[Will Thomas]

Look alright, to an extent I agree with you.

But trust me, once you or someone close to you has been involved in this then your opinion will change. Yes pedophilia occurs when a step in development is missed and they are stuck with an adolescent attraction. But trust me, when someone close to you has been involved in it, all logic will leave you, and you will feel a hatred that no one can describe. There is no forgiveness for this. If you have experienced it you will understand.

this is one of the most powerful videos you've made. It'd def not the norm, and for that it's something even more memorable. thank you for bringing awareness to this HORRIBLE HORRIBLE crime

Hmm, it's interesting how you put that... "hint of a necessity"... I think it would be safe to say that everyone has an intent behind every action, right?

[harajukugrl]

I feel like there's something mentally wrong with someone that uses a child for sex, whether it's pimping or being a john. I started to cry because at the end of the day that was someone's baby girl, niece, cousin, granddaughter, etc.. and for someone to just use a child like that until they're empty inside is just pure evil. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

[Sammy Vaz]
