Meanwhile the national center for missing and exploited children has added a child pornography tip-line to it's website. If someone suspects a child is being abused, exploited, or molested, they can fill out an online report, and the Center will forward the information to the police.
There's also an interactive slide show, showing how the tip line works.

Marchers dressed in green made their way down the famous "Loop"--braving the chilly temperatures along with thousands of spectators.
The event featured a bag pipe ensemble, St. Patrick's look-a-like, and even politicians--preparing for upcoming primary elections on Tuesday.
It ended with the dyeing of the Chicago River--a local tradition where concentrated green dye is poured into the water.
