Ninety eight individuals connected with a child abuse network spanning the globe have been arrested, since FBI agents Daniel Alfin and Laura Schwartzenberger were murdered in 2021 [1]. The perpetrators range in age from 32 to 81.
Members of this network shared child abuse material on the dark web. Perpetrators used encryption software to access websites within the network, share files anonymously, and chat on message boards.
Both Alfin and Schwarzenberger specialized in investigating crimes against children. Their deaths prompted the probe (“Operation Bakis”) which resulted in these arrests. Clearly, those deaths were not in vain.
Thirteen children were, also, rescued as a result of the probe.
“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends” (John 15: 13).

ANNA WALDHERR A Voice Reclaimed, Surviving Child Abuse 
Es so wichtig, dass solche Verbrechen an Kinder aufgedeckt werden, um evtl. weitere Verbrechen zu verhindern. LG M.
Du hast so recht, Marie. LG, A. ❤
ARGH!! Every time I hear stories of child abuse my heart breaks.
And there are so many stories…
Too many…
So sad they lost their lives, but it wasn’t in vain. Their reward in heaven will be big as they fought for those innocents victims. Praying for their families.
I believe that w/ all my heart, Mary. Children are precious in the sight of the Lord. ❤
The two heroes should rest in peace, but their death had not been in vain. The have fallen to save many children.
Yes, Dolly. Those lives saved are their legacy.
Micrurus tener has better intention than those perpetrators.
So right, Marilee. The snake is operating from instinct. Sexual predators operate out of choice.
