I have a toddler in a facility too. But I'm not at all convinced that this is a real threat. I'm having trouble even imagining it as a theoretical threat.

Pedophiles are bad for sure. But internet people watching nursery footage doesn't seem to make that any better or worse. I expect roughly all of nursery footage to be uniformly boring. Even if a pedophile got access to it... then what? Where's the threat?

They get attached to specific kids and grab them in the park after they see the kids are getting ready for their daily trip?

On average, yeah, nothing bad will happen. But that’s true for someone leaving their front door unlocked too. Eventually you are likely to get fucked.

I guess. I take issue with the use of the word "likely" here though.
Any individual kindergarden may be unlikely to have it happen, but this is a business selling to multiple.

The more salient point is that even once is too many.

The material gets collected and sold via darknet forums.
