She was about eight or nine. I contacted Google and their response was a suggestion to turn safe browsing on. I contacted the local Police, who are very active in tracking paedophiles, and they informed me that they were aware of it, but could do nothing about it as it was located in Russia and as soon as they blacklisted it, it would change its name and ISP.
My search criteria was absolutely innocent, just a family images search, but I will not detail the search terms here. Although it is difficult, I support legislation that controls ISPs limiting links to such things. We want freedom, but what we actually have is anarchy on the web. We don't need, nor should we support anarchy.

It's not that I disagree with stopping these images from being seen, but your own post shows how hard it would be to do this. An ISP or search engine can show a pic that it believes is perfectly legitimate, but only the human mind can know that it's not. And that doesn't even begin to discuss the problem of art which can be easily changed.
