In Louisiana, a state task force dubbed "Operation Child Watch" has made 17 arrests. According to WAFB 9, the discoveries were beyond disgusting. "These are four and five year-old girls and boys in pictures. This isn’t just simple pornography out there. This goes way beyond that. Some of the sickest things I’ve seen in my 28 years; I literally did not sleep that night," says the superintendent of Louisiana State Police Col. Mike Edmonson. The photos and videos, found in a variety of sources and formats, contained disturbing images of child pornography, including children as young as three years old.
