Are you on some sort of conspiracy theory binge, renton?
I've never "stumbled" or looked at any such sites.

A little - bit like "there are more obese people now than ever"
Nah - they just change the goal posts!!
Never "stumbled", and not anyone who uses this computer has either. I know that to be a fact as this old computer has been in the repair shop a few times...
Good link El

No nor me. Good link El Loro thanks
Renton, when I did my degree, which was based around childhood and society we were warned about internet searches delivering dubious results, and told to go straight to the IT department and report anything we might have inadvertently clicked on. In the three years I was at Uni, I never once happened up on anything that was 'child porn' related.
Unless of course you count my research in to the origins of the 'Little Red Riding Hood' story.
I am uncomfortable in this thread ,just because of the subject.

With all due respect Erin, why would you enter a thread which was obvious by it's title if you knew it would make you uncomfortable?
I'm happy for this thread to be removed but can't do it myself.
Have messaged El Rolo

I've replied to you. I will delete the thread for you tomorrow if you still wish to but I think your thread is important. I support you in creating it. The subject of child porn should make people uncomfortable and I don't really want to delete this thread.
Well if it continues to upset or gains a poor response feel free to delelte
Renton, why would you want it to be removed? Its not like you're advocating child porn, it's a genuine question.
Its a subject that is uncomfortable, but it happens. The thread on Savile went into many posts, why should this be different??
In all honesty, disregarding my research for my degree, I have never happened upon a child porn website.
To be honest, I would be surprised if anyone did just 'happen' upon one, surely because of the 'policing' of the internet of this sort of thing people looking for that sort of thing are hardly going to put in a search for 'where can I find **the thread title**'

Totally agree sky. It's a horrible subject, but it happens.

Well i don't want to upset anyone or make them feel uncomfortable.
The thread was more about statistics and whether they are accurate. Or if once again subjects are overblown to gain a headline.
It seems from the responses that it hard to beleive soooo many people can simply 'happened' upon it.

Agree very much with both of you. It's not as if anyone is going to be allowed to post any links to such sites and it is a subject that exists and should be up for discussion as the Saville thread was.

I guess the statistic must derive from responses from people who google porn. It would be easy to accidentally 'stumble' on child porn in that context.
Xochi, what I find laughable is that people that want that, actually go and google 'THOSE WORDS'.
The reason I am changing the thread title in certain sentences is just incase we end up hitting some sort of policing 'hot words'. And then all of us in the thread get raided.

Honestly officer, I never dun it. I was just looking for research to see how easy it was. Yours Pete Townsend
A case of the headline misreporting the facts of the poll and the poll reporting a 'double answer' :
4% of men â the equivalent of one million men, and 2% of women, the equivalent of 500,000, report actually having come into contact with it, or have stumbled across it. Full report here.
So, what proportion of those actually 'stumbled' across it and what proportion otherwise came into contact, (by looking for and at it, for example!)? I suspect v few 'stumbled' and probably most of those who claimed to have 'stumbled' are lying!
What worries me most about this poll is not that people don't know how to report it to the IWF, (let's face it anyone and everyone knows how to contact the police,) rather that, of the 2,058 people polled that 17% were apparently not concerned about it! This is not 'child porn,' it's images of children being sexually abused and 350 of those polled were not concerned about that 
I really don't want to. but I did.
