Wayne Nelson Corrliss Arrested for Child Pornography Charges

Wayne Nelson Corrliss has been arrested, says CBS News. The 59-year-old New Jersey man was nabbed by federal agents on heavy charges of both making and handing out child pornography using the internet. Numerous tips poured into the law enforcement agency known as INTERPOL as soon as the site posted recent pictures of Corrliss.

Supposedly Corrliss distributed pictures of himself sexually abusing three boys while he was in Southeast Asia between the years of 2000 and 2001. The boys, ages 6 to 10, were unnamed. Police in Norway helped INTERPOL track down Corrliss after a recent investigation in the foreign nation yieled hundreds of nude pictures of Corrliss with young boys. The picutes were taken from a computer of a man arrested for posessing child pornography in Norway.

Corrliss' trial is set for May 8th and he is currently under strict surveillance in a New Jersey jail.

Even though this case is extremely disturbing, it is a great time to promote safety when it comes to predators. Here are some tips to keep your children safe:

1) Monitor their internet activity. Sexual predators these days use the internet to track down their victims. Make sure you know which sites your children are on, especially when it comes to MySpace and Facebook. Several rape cases have lead back to both these social networking web sites.

2) Enforce cerfews every night of the week. Predators are known to prey on children at night when they usually go out with their friends and are away from parents. Make strict rules about coming home, even if it is the weekend.

3) Be aware of surroundings while in public, namely with small children. Abduction has become common in the United STates and predators often hang around parks or schools. If you see someone acting suspiciously, move away from the area and contact the proper authorities.

4) Contact police even if you feel threatened or witness something that is out of place or out of the ordinary. It doesn't matter if you feel uncomfortable on the internet or out in public. Contact police immediately. It could save a life or prevent children from being abducted.
