On July 28th, an extremely disturbing article appeared in several papers including the New York Times and the International Herald Tribune. The article is about the California police's inability to take action against a self-proclaimed pedophile who is posting his musings about children along with images and lists of places that pedophiles can go to find children. This man is well known to the folks who live here in the Seattle area. He lived here until a local news reporter found his website and exposed him publicly, also putting him on the radar of the local police.. He left the area several months ago for California.
This individual, named Jack McClellen, posts non sexual photos of children he's taken at local fairs, parks and other public places where children gather. His website attempts to promote acceptance of pedophilia and directs other like minded perverts to public places where children might congregate.
McClellan indicated that his move to California from Seattle was prompted by the climate and the fact that California has "so many world-class children's attractions here, Disneyland, festivals and whatnot." While law enforcement officials in California say that, for now, there is nothing they can do about McClellan's postings, one man has set up a website to take the law into his own hands:

Here's the NYT Article:

This guy is getting national attention now, so look for many states to start passing laws making it illegal to photograph minor children in public places without their parents' consent. This guy is a time bomb and he needs to be stopped.
