Paedophiles pay to watch webcam child sex abuse in Philippines

Upvoting for awareness, but I have to say, I hate having to upvote this.

The entire thing is obnoxious, but possibly almost as obnoxious from a different angle is this quote at the bottom:

Father Cullen warns that men in the West who pay to watch abuse in poor countries may go on to commit other offences.

"It's the warm-up for a sexual assault on a child," he said.

"And next time it's going to be a child in the UK.”

- I’m not sure what relevance the nationality of the child is to how horrific the activity is.

Of course it doesn't matter. The comment was an attempt to prod complacent Britons, not a reflection on Father Cullen.

I think the point is that the next step in abuse would be to do it in real life rather than by video. Not to imply that one is worse than the other, but it would strike home to Britons.

There are plenty of places for outrage junkies to get their fix. Let's keep them away from HN.
