Sully, I would be grateful if you read my last post again and tell me what it is you disagree with.
The reason I live in this area is because my wife and family are from here.
I will repeat, I am not against bringing the subject to public attention.
Also, I have never seen any suspicious activity myself, however I have been offered sex by [obviously] under age boys [ which shocked me]. But that is another problem that needs addressing.

I believe action against these evil people would be preferable to more words. This area, [which I live in] has been advertised regularly as a "haven for paedophiles" in many publications over the years. Because of that, there is not only the risk that many people from this area will get "tarred from the same brush" but also that paedophiles will search out this area. I don't want them here! I believe this is not just a Buleleng problem,[ and certainly not just a crime perpetrated by westerners ] but a Bali and worldwide problem and we all have a duty to combat this evil. Not pretend it is a problem on someone else's doorstep. I would much prefer to read articles about the catching and prosecution of these evil people. It's not the publicity I'm against, it's the tone of it, the sensationalism. Pheadophilia sells papers, it's a fact, ask any journalist. I find that a little sick in itself.
We can help. It's up to all of us to keep alert and report suspicious activity to the police and to follow it up to make sure action has been taken.

Sorry Matt if I did not make myself clear, sometimes I have a tendancy to do that. The ONLY part I disagree with is we do need publicity, as much as possible by the authorities or organisations that are fighting this so the public are informed.

I understand your wife is from the area but most tourists wouldn't have the faintest idea of the advertising the area as a 'haven' unless you are one and locals would know you. From my perspective and it is only mine, I would like as much publicity as possible to put pressure on the authorities to do as much as possible to stop it.

I watched the You Tube one which I think was from the ABC in Australia and the other one I saw was on Sky in Australia.

Sorry if I did not explain myself correctly.

5 years ago i was in the bali holiday resort (now named puri saron)and at the same floor was an 60 years old spanish man .
he had different young boys in his room , aged between 10 and 16 , he was walking arround with a camera all day . i got suspicious and talked with the young boys and asked them what was going on but they avoided my questions.
the next day he was playing in the pool with the young boys and i saw this was not harmless, i thought to myself what is going on here...?i asked the head of the satpams about this situation and he said the staff also thought he was a childmolestor but they were affraid to take action , but it made them sick too. he was coming in the hotel for years now and always brought young boys in his room . nobody took action because they were affraid to lose their job.coming back to the pool area i saw this old man talking to my 11 yr old son , and i became so affraid and i became so aggresive and attact him and kicked the sh.t out of him.
the satpam called the manager , the manager came and told me to leave the man alone. i was so angry and called the police ......
the police came and searched his room and found pornographic material.
what i am trying to tell , nobody is doing anything , they all think , its not my buisness.....money and having a job is so important.
this way these dirty people can get away with this actions.
i think there should be more publicity about this things whats going on and show the balinese people if they dont do nothing about it , we will not come again, sorry for my bad english , grtz jokko

miso , i didnt mean i dont want to go to bali anymore, i love bali and im going to move there sept/okt this year. i just thought that im staying in a nice , expensive hotel and have to watch a pedo doing his thing....no way . i just wanted to say we must show the balinese that is unacceptable that they keep their moth shut and do nothing , gtz jokko

I think it's not only the case mostly in Indonesia. They say that human trafficking is rampant now that other foreigners have free access to the village.
