I see, so your main concern here is prosecution. It is indeed true that prosecution is understaffed and underfunded. I feel there are other problems at play too.

CPS should be able to spot children in abusive homes and respond to reports of unusual activity. They should be able to spot clearly unstable caretakers.

Counsellors and teachers should be able to spot unusual behaviour from children. Mental health services can help someone escape falling into such a situation in the first place by keeping them from falling into depression which leads them to rely on such a person.

Local police shouldn't dismiss leads so readily. This is the it is impossible for him or her to do such a thing mindset which prevails so frequently.

Parents shouldn't trust their relatives so readily and should keep an eye out. 90% of cases happen at home.

If they stopped showing off their crimes online, would the entire system come to a crawl? I'm worried by how much of a reliance there is on divining crimes off the internet.
