Internet Child Exploitation investigators, from across Ontario, strive to keep children safe and hold offenders accountable.
Police encourage anyone wanting to make a difference in the fight against the sexual exploitation of children, to go to protectchildren.ca and download the “Child Sexual Abuse – It Is Your Business” brochure from the Canadian Center for Child Protection. This is an important first step that can save a child.
One reply on “Pervert Alert: Eric McLACHLAN – Child Pornography”
This is horrible. His father, Duncan and grandfather, Jimmie, would be mortified. I am glad they are both deceased. I feel for his mother and daughters. He is my second cousin although we’ve never met. Some people go astray in today’s world.
