Emma Jones: Inflaming Child Sex Sickos:

Like everyone else in Britain today, I feel an increasing sense of despair as the search for Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman continues.

But I can’t help thinking that, in a small way, we all share some responsibility for their plight.

Why? Because we live in a society where paedophilia has been allowed to infiltrate our mainstream culture.

Sexy images of children in pop videos, magazines and adverts now appear perfectly normal, even fashionable.

Confusing messages are being beamed into the warped minds of Britain’s 18,500 registered sex offenders, including the 266 in Holly and Jessica’s home county.

In fashion, pop music and TV, our children are being exploited as sex objects.The Sun [via bloggerheads]
