I am concerned first for my own children and for other children second. To imply that this makes me some sort of an accomplice is quite unfair.
My concern for other children manifests as being watchful in my neighborhood, keeping an eye on the neighborhood kids when I can - just in case their own parents aren't.
I teach my children right from wrong, I teach them to stay safe and I look out for their well being 24/7. If other parents would do the same, the pedophiles would have nowhere to turn.
If the unthinkable happens and one of my girls were kidnapped, raped and tortured, I would be the only one to blame. However, I hope that my local law enforcement agencies are also looking out for my children (and I believe they are).
This is the most local of issues. Parents need to take responsibility for their kids. Neighbors need to take responsibility for their neighbors. If we all keep those near us safe, the pedophiles won't have any pictures to share.
Begging the Feds to come in and bring money won't help to accomplish anything except to expand their power and expand their snooping ability.
For the record, I don't think Sirena is an alien - although I agree with Norvall that they are here. I do think that Sirena has bought into the hype and scare tactics which, when all is said and done, only move parents away from taking responsibility for their children's safety. Personal responsibility is the only thing that will eliminate this terrible danger.
PS: Thanks to Norval and Ocean Winds for the kind words.
