Please note I disagree with Gardner.
Richard A. Gardner: in His Own Words "At the present time, the sexually abused child is generally considered to be the victim," though the child may initiate sexual encounters by 'seducing' the adult." Gardner, Richard A., Child Custody Litigation (1986), p.93 also has links to other articles http://www.gate.net/~liz/liz/pedoph.htm
Parental Alienation Syndrome: Frye V. Gardner in the Family Courts by Jerome H. Poliacoff, Ph.D., P.A., Cynthia L. Greene, Esq., and Laura Smith, Esq. "Berliner and Conte (FN6) (1993) scathingly note "Indeed the entire scale (the SALS) and the Parental Alienation Syndrome on which it is based have never been subjected to any kind of peer review or empirical test." Less kind have been comments such as Conte's (FN7) (Moss, D.C., 1988) when referring to the SALS ".is probably the most unscientific garbage I've seen in the field in all my time.to base social policy on something as flimsy as this is exceedingly dangerous".

from L Moss Sharman Pedophile Playground Sun Media reporter Kim Bradley examines child pornography and the Internet's role in its proliferation in this 4-page, 4-part report By Kim Bradley, (Calgary) Sun Media "The most disturbing example of this was the California-based Orchid Club, busted in 1996, after it hosted an online, by-request assault on a 10-year-old girl that was viewed internationally. That investigation revealed another, much more organized and sophisticated international group -- The Wonderland Club -- that required 10,000 child porn images as a membership fee and hosted regular online abuse acts. Police identified 180 Wonderland members in 49 countries when they shut it down in 1986.... According to studies by the COPINE Project -- Combatting Pedophile Networks in Europe -- out of the University of Cork in Ireland, the sheer volume may have also desensitized offenders even further. That, in turn, has led to an increased demand for more graphic, explicit material of younger kids, resulting in more child sex abuse worldwide. COPINE is seeing an average of three to four new faces of abused kids on the Internet a month. About 40% of girls and 55% of boys are between nine and 12. The rest are younger. The studies also show 50,000 new child-abuse images are being posted to newsgroups alone every month. That doesn't include those traded in e-mails or listed on peer-to-peer sites commonly used to share music." http://www.canoe.ca/CalgaryNews/cs.cs-06-01-0028.html
from L Moss Sharman Retired Priest Gets 20 Years For Sex Abuse AP 5/28/03 Louisville A retired Roman Catholic priest at the forefront of the Louisville archdiocese's sex abuse scandal was sentenced to the maximum 20 years in prison today for decades of sexual misconduct against children. The Rev. Louis E. Miller, 72, pleaded guilty in March in Jefferson County Circuit Court to 44 counts of indecent and immoral practices and six counts of sexual abuse.... Miller also is accused of molesting children in 94 of the more than 250 lawsuits filed against the archdiocese since April 2002. The plaintiffs contend the church knew they were sexually abused by clergy or others connected with the church, but hid it and did not stop it." http://www.washingtonpost.com
