UK Police are setting up online profiles, signalling (I assume privately) in some way that children are available for purchase or othwerise in the UK.
We hear nothing about how many individuals UK Police leave with this impression, and do not pursue or prosecute. Should we FOI them?

A paedophile who told what he thought was a nine-year-old girl's mother he wanted to meet the child on a weekend so he could rape her multiple times has been jailed.
Michael Storey, 56, believed he was talking to women online who were offering their children for sex but they were actually police officers, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
Over the course of two weeks in February, he told them young girls were a "serious turn on" and he would "love" to rape them.
Storey, from Gateshead, was jailed for five years after admitting two counts of arranging the commission of a child sex offence.
