That's Criminal
FBI Catches Child Rapist by Inviting Him to Kiddie Party
In a sting worthy of NBC's To Catch a Predator, FBI agents took down one of the most notorious pedophiles in the world.
Antonio Cardenas had fled to Mexico after video of him repeatedly molesting a 7-year-old boy became the most popularly traded child pornography in the world. But he was lured back to Utah by an invite to a kiddie birthday party.
He was basically scot-free, but couldn't resist the temptation to return to see his victim again. He had no idea the parents knew what he had done and were working with the FBI to finally nab him.
The abuse began when the boy, who suffers from a learning disability and was teased by classmates, joined a mentoring program and was partnered with Cardenas. Instead of helping the poor kid, he molested and raped him, AND FILMED IT! He gave the tape to a friend who posted it on the Internet.
What really enrages me is that he was a mentor. It's as though pedophiles like him and Jerry Sandusky are cut from the same cloth. They get into positions where they are supposed to nurture children but instead prey on them. Stomach turning, isn't it.
We teach our children to be leery of strangers and in their mind, these monsters are not the people who are there to help and guide them. But from seemingly harmless volunteers to world renowned sports figures, these fiends come in every form. How can parents know who to trust?
How can parents protect children from monsters like this?

I worked in a womens prison facility, and there are a lot of women doing lots of time for molesting kids, seriously. And if you think this scumbag is going to get punished while in prison guess again. Around a quarter to a third of all inmates are pedophiles, rapists and child killers. He'll hide out in protection for a few years til the attention dies down.

@lydia must you always paint men in a bad light. He is bad not all men= child molestor Lord have mercy woman. Stop trolling you'll only make drama for your self. Now this man is evil really evil and I pray justic is handed down quicky for that fool.

Lydia go get some counseling. children cant be safe all the time. and CHILDREN ARE NOT SAFE AROUND SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE A WOMAN!! what kind of fucking idiot are you!!! do me a favor before you post one more comment, go to google, type mom kills child and tell me how many stories come up. then google father kills wife who killed child. THEN you should google "MOTHER DISMEMBERS AND EATS NEWBORNS BRAIN AND TOES". READ that story and come back here and spread more bullshit about how ONLY mothers can be trusted with children. You think that by never letting your children around a man that they are safe? they are not safe in the car, they are not safe at home, they are not safe with friends, they are not safe at school, they are not safe around VAGINAS and they are not safe around DICKS, but to say all men are predators??? i hope you don't have any children with all my heart because that little girl is going to have some serious problems with finding relationships and if you have a son (i hope not) i feel so sad for that little boy, growing up thinking hes part of a horrible sex and that he is destined to be a predator. all the self loathing that little boy would have :( ill cut it to the quick here so you really DO NOT have to leave another ignorant statement : People who hurt kids should not have kids, yes absolutely! but they do. pedophiles should not gain positions of power over kids to hurt them, but they do.

YOU LYDIA SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE CHILDREN SHOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF LEARNING. TEACH THEM EVERY FACT. YOU DO NOT SHOVE YOUR OPINIONS OR THOUGHTS OR SCTIONS INSIDE THERE HEADS. YOU ENCOURAGE AND LISTEN AND ANSWERE THEM WITH SMART KNOWEDGABLE ANSWERES. Your supposed to protect them help them grow not taint them with your obviously wretched life experiences. Mothers and women hurt children just like fathers and men do. your blind if you don't understand that.
