My thoughts are with the parents and children affected by these disturbing revelations.

As we hear of another arrest for abuse of children at Little Ted's nursery in Plymouth, this must be a supremely anxious time for the parents. The police are finding it difficult to identify which children were targetted, and this is a real problem in cases involving indecent images which appear in a paedophile's photo album, computer or on the internet. In September last year I attended a talk given by DS Knight of the Met Police's Paedophile Unit. DS Knight worked in internet surveillance and it was amazing what she and her team can do with the latest technology at their disposal to bring abuser's to justice, monitoring chat rooms and enhancing photo's. Good luck to the investigating officers in Plymouth, and my thoughts are with the parents and children affected by these disturbing revelations.
