Not Safe Anywhere

Kids today are not safe anywhere.

A Chicago pediatrician was arrested after thousands of images of child [images] were found on his computers, federal prosecutors said Monday. Dr. H. Marc Watzman, 37, also had a hidden panel in his car that contained drugs such as morphine, compounds used to induce unconsciousness and a substance used to induce temporary muscular paralysis. {Edited for content}

Pretty damn scary. There's no evidence so far that he'd actually used the drugs on anyone, but it was just a matter of time.

Agents said they found a desktop computer in Watzman's apartment with about 40 images of child [images] and more than 200,000 erased images. They also seized a laptop containing 3,000 to 5,000 images....authorities said. {Edited for content}

What's even more scary, and reprehensible, is that there's that many of those photos out there....and more.

Free speech my ass.

The scariest thing about that is that good parenting can't protect your child from sick psychopaths.

True enough, but it will greatly increase their odds of being safe.

Men who choose to spend a lot of time with small kids should ALWAYS be regarded with suspicion.

Sad but true.
