My DH & I were just talking about a case like this that was on the news down here re some old guy traveling down here to meet what he thought was a 12 year old (actually a police detective).
I asked my DH since he is a male, to tell me WHY would this old man EVEN WANT any kind of abuse of a child?

He just shook his head and said he must be a sick s o b....
Maybe it's their "fantasy"? But really, how can that even be anyone's "fantasy"?

Not that all these guys are old or anything, but this particular one was, and was really gross looking to boot - any 12 year old I know would take one look at him and run, not think that they were looking at the love of their life or anything
And then the next day we saw a report on a guy they caught during a sting in a hotel room trying to arrange a deal with a mother for her
2 and 3 year olds Yikes! I just don't get it.....
And why does it seem to be so rampant nowadays - is it an epidemic, or has it always been this way and just more reported now?
