Calgary Child Abuse Rising Dramatically
On December - 27 - 2011
CALGARY — A dramatic rise in crimes against children is prompting Calgary police to bump up its child abuse unit. The addition of seven investigators, nearly doubling the unit, is designed to help police deal with an increasing workload of disturbing cases of violence against youngsters. “It’s not just Calgary that’s seen this dramatic increase. It’s right across Canada and the U.S. It’s a dramatic, notable increase in offenses against children,” said Calgary police Chief Rick Hanson. In Calgary last year, there were 873 cases of children being beaten, sexually abused or killed. That’s up from 713 in 2006. READ MORE HERE

It is all that internet porn that is causing this, I think. I don’t know, but my daughter was a victim of two men in foster care (raped and sodomized). Child Services took her from a healthy loving home and placed her with abusers. Child Services covered it all up (abuse in foster care), so the predators are still walking free 18 years later.
