Kiddie Porn In Tennessee

Lately, I have noticed a lot of hits on my tracker focused on this post, from several months ago. Just over a year ago, this person, Robert Neil Boyd, was arrested in Tennessee for "indecent liberties with a minor", and for possession of hundreds of images of kiddie porn. He also had a warrant out for his arrest in Maryland for the same crime. There isn't really much that is new to be found about this case; just that Mr. Boyd's picture now graces the national sex offender registry. When Tennessee releases him, he will begin to answer for his crimes in Maryland.

This arrest seems to have come as a bit of a surprise to some people in several communities in which Neil made a few contributions. A lot of his friends either rejected values that baby boomers tend to consider "out dated", or never brought up children of their own. They remain completely unsympathetic to anyone who protects children. When Neil ran afoul of conventional mores and the law via his abuses of underage girls, he got away with it for many years before someone finally alerted law enforcement in Maryland. Then, when he disappeared into Tennessee, quite a few of his "avant garde", "hip", and extremely brilliant friends and cohorts knew exactly where he was hiding, but did not value the childhoods of any of the girls whose indecent pictures graced his computer enough to speak up. To make matters even more interesting, Neil continued to support the same kiddie porn industry while hiding from law enforcement in Maryland. All with the blessings of friends who had long accepted these behaviors from him, and did not care about children or the community enough to put a stop to it.

Anyone who has a question about the above linked post, or the case, can ask. I will not publish any comment marked "private". Please believe me when I tell you that the problems we read about  every day featuring victimized and murdered children will only get worse as long as we remain passive about crimes against children.
