From August 20-23, undercover officers posing as minors on popular social media platforms and chat applications engaged with individuals who made explicit requests for illegal activity.

Yes there is a cure for such behavior! Create a chopping block!
Just shows what is lurking out there waiting for your children.
There is no cure for child molesters. Take them out of civilization, forever.
