Is this child pornography?

Question

We all know that child porn is not only against the law but immoral. I started thinking though when I was looking through a sears catalog and saw the teen/pre teen clothing section. There's websites that show teens/pre teens and children modeling underwares and what not, wouldn't that be considered child porn in a sense of the way, i'm sure some sickos would get off on seeing them in their underware. Also what about naturists? They have get togethers and they are all naked including the children. Most of the time they take pictures and children are shown naked, does that not qualify as child porn? I believe some websites post these pictures as naturist or nudism, but children are depicted naked and i'm sure sickos get off on that too.

bregweidd - Did you not read my question, I was talking about children, maybe you're one of those sickos.

Answer 1

sickos will get off on a lot of wierd things - might as well all wear burkhas since some sicko might get off seeing arms, legs, ankles whatever

I think my point was clear - it's about using things in a way not intended. Why are you looking at pictures of children in their underware? Are you a sicko?

Answer 2

You could also add baby photos where an infant has posed nude and classify that also as child porn, the answer to all of the scenarios you have mentioned is "NO." None of those are instances of child porn.

This "is" going to bother you though, a pedophile who is drawn to create or seek child porn sees a fully clothed child as a potential victim. The child could be completely and fully dressed in eskimo gear. What draws them is the child's innocense.

They are immoral people, some say they cannot help it and we are finding that you cannot stop them through conventional methods, some say drugs do not completely stop them once their body becomes immune.

Censorship of childrens underwear and unduly affecting everyone else's rights to freedom in order to keep these people in line is insane. For instance, your child's favorite teacher may give a little extra attention to them and you or the school may not be able to say anything against that teacher because of the deep bond that child has for that teacher -> 20 years later you find that the school system never did a thorough background check on your child's teacher and he had been molesting her throughout the 1st-6th grades. Your daughter never went to school naked, but at the same time, these perverts know what to say, do and how to build a strong foundation of trust with your child in order to keep their dirty little secret.

So now you have to be extra careful of children's clubs assistants, teachers, coaches, extra curricular activity instructors, sales people in children's stores, clerks in toy stores, librarians, bus drivers, etc. The cost of running these searches and putting that kind of information in certain staffers' hands is a violation of the pervert's rights so it can get pretty costly. There is no better substitute than "good parenting". The trust you instill in your child should supercede any bond a pervert can put in place. That's the answer.

Answer 3

it is said that we should not hurt children
