   The amount of depravity out there on the Internet can be truly   
   sickening. Thank goodness cops are often out there catching   
   these people who want to take advantage of children by   
   pretending to be them. A man was arrested in Ohio for attempting   
   to buy a 10-year-old girl that he could "train to please" him.   
   He wanted to pay $400 for her.   
      
   The man, Robert W. Thomas, allegedly put an ad online looking to   
   purchase a girl between 5 and 8 years old whom he could keep   
   permanently and train to "please" him. For whatever reason, he   
   decided to go with a 10-year-old that was offered to him and   
   allegedly met up with people willing to give him a girl he could   
   "marry."   
      
   He reportedly showed up at a meeting to get the girl and came   
   with $400 cash. He handed over the money and then went to a   
   vehicle to get what he thought would be his little sex slave.   
   Instead, he was apprehended.   
      
   Cops then raided his home, finding sexual paraphernalia, guns,   
   and a rifle with a grenade launcher on it.   
      
   It makes you shudder to think what would have happened if Thomas   
   had gotten ahold of a real girl. And it also makes you shudder   
   to think that somewhere out there, I'm sure someone has gotten   
   ahold of a real girl. There's no way police can be behind every   
   single one of these sick ads.   
      
   The Internet has made it easier for disturbed people like this   
   to try and get what they want, but the Internet has also made it   
   easier for cops to thwart it.   
      
   Disgusting all around. Thomas is being held on $2 million bond.
