Deeply troubling
The quality of journalism is not on debate here. It is first rate. All parties investigate with intelligence, integrity, commitment and profound empathy (who wouldn’t when children are involved). However Episode 2 was particularly difficult to listen to. It haunts me still...And here lies the ethical crux with documentaries like these: how to expose the horrors inflicted by those irredeemable humans (though human is too kind a word), without propagating the horror itself? I remember an episode of CBC’s The Current, back in 2004-2005, where the host in attempting (if I recall) to depict the unbearable realties detectives who work on those cases endure, decided to play an actual audio excerpt the police had seized, of an abuse inflicted on a toddler....The Current is probably one of Canada’s most respected morning current affairs radio show, but to have broadcast such horrific content felt gratuitous, and I believe morally wrong. Although that is not (yet) the case in this podcast, as only the summary of the events were related and not the actual audio of the crime, we have just begun the series. As the episodes unfold, one would expect the journalists continue to uphold their claimed moral and ethical integrity and refuse to fall prey to the scum they hunt by proliferating their evil. Let the focus remain on the brillant web sleuths who hunted those creeps and brought them to justice. And investigate how the children are doing. How are they recovering? Are they being protected?

But I kept on listening since it’s such an important subject that we don’t often get exposure to. It at times made me appalled, angry, and...Read full review »
