Dear Mr. John Flanagan,

'Children are like that one beautiful woman who men pursue in order to deface' and that is why i am here. Since 1997, I have looked into the nature and extent of commercial sexualization of children, in other words, child pornography and child trafficking. On a positive note; it is great to have met such good people around the world that have offered encouraging words that have kept the fire burning. The goals of my project are: 1) find and seek information that the public and victims need in order to combat child porn more effectively. 2) find and seek present attitudes about the commercial sexual exploitation of children 3) find others to work with, as well as victims to interview, that want to work on this issue 4) discover the differences of how each country combats child porn, in their NGO work and legal codes, for future change and collaboration.

Yes, I write, and quite often most often in books that I keep on my shelf. Mr. John Flanagan, your title does not appeal to me. You call yourself a judge, but you are nothing to me, nothing but another animal on this planet, after his own selfish intentions. You ask me lists and lists of questions which I answer for you, honestly. I traveled quite a distance to talk openly about a subject which is very important to me, which deserves attention and that is child pornography.

You work for yourself and my opinion I think you do not like what I have to say. You may think that because you are a judge, you are somehow better that everyone else, that you can slide documents under the rug. You are mistaken. LIght shines upon everything that is hid, eventually. Even if you try to hide something, it will be revealed.

I am glad that you asked me to come and speak with you, and that you came and talked with me. Your purposes are still unclear, even though I believe that it is only to keep me from speaking, only when a person like you tells me no, it only makes me do the opposite. So keep saying no. I am sitting here smiling. As a child victim and a witness, wouldn't my words be of interest to you?

Do you know what Social Anthropology is? You say I have abandoned the topic of archaeology. Clearly you have read nothing that I have sent you. I want to see what how people handle this subject in the courts today, in countries today, yes in the past, in the arts, and in the arts now, but how are we handling things now, how do we protect our children now? You are a unfair judge and no matter what you say, I will write about child pornography as long as possible, and tell the only story I know.

Goodday, judge...professor...whatever you are.

Human Rights and the rights of children
[WASHINGTON, D.C., 30 October 2008] - The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) has decided to extend the deadline for Member States to respond to a questionnaire on juvenile justice in the region until December 5, 2008. The IACHR also invites responses from civil society.

The Commission’s Rapporteurship on Children's Rights is preparing a report on juvenile criminal justice as part of an agreement signed with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

The questionnaire uses the following documents as a frame of reference: the “World Report on Violence against Children,” prepared by Professor Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro, a United Nations Independent Expert, in 2006; the report on “Violence against Children and Adolescents;" the study on “Violence against Children in the Caribbean Region;" and, the Manual for the Measurement of Juvenile Justice Indicators,”prepared by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

The study seeks to identify progress, obstacles, and potentials of national criminal justice systems specialising in children, to ensure adequate protection of their human rights and to prevent and eradicate the different forms of violence against children.

Information received through the questionnaire will serve as one of the sources for a preliminary version of the report to be drafted and circulated for consultation at national, subregional, and regional meetings organised by the Office of Rapporteur in 2009. This consultation process will include the government ministries, civil society organisations, regional and international organisations, and academic circles, among other stakeholders.

The questionnaire is already on the IACHR website and will remain available until December 5.
