Every person they can find and prove without a doubt, that was participating in this abomination should be castrated and literal branded on the forehead with a symbol referencing their crime to humanity.
"In order to become part of the Dreamboard community, prospective members were required to upload pornography portraying children under 12 years of age or younger," Holder said. "Once given access, the participants had to continually upload images of child sexual abuse in order to maintain membership.
"The more content they provided, the more content they were allowed to access. Members who created and shared images and videos of themselves molesting children received elevated status and greater access."
Some of the children featured in the images and videos were infants, officials said.
"In many cases, the children being victimized were in obvious and intentional pain, even in distress and crying, just as the rules for one area of the bulletin board mandated," Holder added.
He said Dreamboard members were united in the belief that sexually abusing chilldren should not be criminalized, and some referred to their actions as a "hobby."

Would that include the investigators who shared and uploaded child pornography in order to catch them?

Woah, I can scarcely believe what I'm reading:

That is horrifying. Thinking there's one person out there capable of such evil is bad enough, but hundreds? Enough to populate a whole online community? Unbelievable. I just can't even imagine an appropriate punishment for people like this.

This is the best news I've heard all day....
It must be difficult for the police to see this stuff..good grief..having to watch children being intentionally hurt....even infants??
The law enforcement people who do this job with every intention of stopping these criminals and bringing them to justice are the real saints of this world...
I wish I could personally thank each and every one of them.

I have had a fantasy about what to do with all these child pornographers and/or pedofile's......find them...round them up....and sterilize them so they cannot have any children......(save any children in their possession...) and then take them on a space flight to another planet...to live out the remainder of their days.....only their kind on that planet...and remember they can't have children....to me that is a good punishment.
Remove them from planet Earth entirely!
