legal pre teen modeling?

Question

I was watching the news and heard about "legal" preteen modeling, so i wasn't familiar with it, and as usual I search it. So i searched and I was disguisted at all the TONS of sites that allow this. Do these kids have parents? How can children ages 5-17 posing in thongs, showing camel toes, cleavage, spreading there assets and all that stuff be legal?

Answer 1

Its wouldn't be.
HERE.

But the sites are made from out of the country where our laws don't protect the children or anything.

Answer 2

Actually it IS legal here...at least if here is the US.

Although we not approve of the models in a lot of these sites, what they are typically doing is termed "fashion modeling" and if it gets a little ... risky, there's no problems...usually.

Many of the sites even hold US copyrights.

Some places have begun to agree with your outrage, and some sites now carry disclaimers such as;

While non nude and legal Some Countries Have begun to
challenge your right to view non nude websites.
By joining you certify that you are 18 years old that
you are aware of laws in your country and or state and
that viewing non nude child modeling is legal from your location.

but that cleary implies that it's legal in at least SOME of the US. Their big argument is basically that a 9 year old in a thong is nothing you can't see at the beach.

Answer 3

Its pretty sick what people can do just because the laws have loopholes that make their kind of perversion legal under certain conditions. The legal code has many loop holes that can be exploited. It sucks if you are the victim, but its pretty cool if you are a crook.crafty criminals who know how to victimize their prey within the literal bounds of the laws are the worst kind. Except for corrupt cops.

Answer 4

That's very sad. It's a testament to the general lack of parenting these days and the decline of morality.

Whether it's legal in this country or not, one only has to go to someplace like Myspace.com to see enough to know that generally most parents either have NO IDEA what their young ones are doing on the computer, or they don't care. I stay far away from that website for that very reason. It disgusts me and makes me want to slap their parents.

Answer 5

It's not always legal. In Australia for instance there are child pornography laws that actually extend to sexualised images of children - the child would not actually have to be nude for it to be considered pornography if the image was extremely provocative such as what you've described above.

Answer 6

lotta pressure on pre teens to be "perfect"

Answer 7

that's a tricky question...
