Bad stuff is out there, LGLer, there is no doubt. However, there is no evidence that it makes up the bulk of CP, and that was my point. If such was the case, it makes no logical sense whatsoever that there aren't a multitude of former child victims going public and showing the scar tissue over their bodies due to being covered with cigarette burns, or describing how they were held down by strangers while they were raped, etc. The fact is, very, very few have come out as victims, despite the fact that it would be extremely advantageous for them to do so on many different levels, not to mention for the many other kids who would supposedly be in the same predicament right now. And as I pointed out in my essay, with the few who did come forth (such as Masha Allen), it was clear that it was parents or stepparents who were usually involved with the non-consensual exploitation, not those mysterious bands of organized crime whom the LEOs can never prove actually exist, but the public has no doubt are out there lurking the shadows, always one step ahead of the police due to the billions of dollars they allegedly command.

And as I also described in detail in my linked essay, saying that the reason these supposedly thousands--or millions--of child torture victims never come forth because they are all killed and effectively disposed of after being tortured is highly illogical due to the extraordinary amount of logistics it would take for these phantom crime cartels to carry out such horrendous actions on a wide global basis without ever providing a shred of evidence to any LEA [Law Enforcement Agency], with no witnesses ever coming forth despite the presumed fear of reprisals, etc. No multi-billion dollar org in the world is that powerful or uncannily cunning.

I call this mystery the Great Silence in my essay, and if the situation were pervasive to any degree, you can rest assured there would be a multitude of now-adult victims coming to the public with their stories, a large number of bodily remains provably turning up, and legions of parents making impassioned pleas to the public for any info on their missing children, who are allegedly in the hands of those mysterious organized crime cartels that kidnap and torture children on camera for whatever market supposedly exists for that horrific material out there--something that happens every single one of the rare times that a child is actually kidnapped by a stranger.

This is why I do not believe for one second that there are huge amounts of non-consensual torture porn involving children in the LEAs' archives, let alone floating around in the nether-reaches of the Deep Net, and what amount of it does exist, is not done by organized criminals who kidnap kids, but by older family members. The evidence just does not support the notion promulgated by the LEOs and the media.
