This is an attempted moral panic that while obviously disgusting should be an extremely low priority in a resource constrained law enforcement system. Unfortunately it gets play because it's a boogeyman that people who want to control and monitor online activity generally can make use of. Every cent that goes to "combatting" this is one that doesn't go to solving actual violent crime against kids, and in any event the whole enterprise is as futile as confiscating people's colored pencils.
Set up a honeypot and refer people for investigation, fine. But let's not waste any additional resources or destroy additional freedoms for what is essentially a made up issue.
