    Not porn, and I'm not personally scandalized by the photos.... but plastered all over the public internet, when the subject can't really give consent?  No.

    Sure it's true that children can't give consent to ANY photo taken/posted, so by that logic I guess we shouldn't post any picture publicly then in the interest of their privacy...I see that point is trying to be made... but, I'm sorry, I think there's a difference between clothed kids doing every day kid things Vs. nudity (even though I'm well aware sometimes kids just like to be nude while doing every day things too!)... it's still something a little more sensitive that I feel needs the consent of the person whose body is exposed, child or not.  

    Whether that passes with 100% logic that innocent nude pictures are different from clothed ones, maybe not, but there's a difference in my mind and in the mind of many others....probably formed by how our society is and we all know society isn't always right, but it's there none the less.  People are just conditioned to see those pictures differently and put them in a different category.  And as PPs have made a point on previously... pedophiles don't care if it's technically "porn" or not... why do anything to bait that sickness?  Is it sad that's the world we live in? Yes, of course... but it's reality.

    Keep these pictures for your private collection within your family.... if someday your child gives informed consent and wants them publicized...fine.

    Ok, here's the longer version. I had a shorter version at some point. I'll try and track it down. But this summarizes who online predators are and aren't.

    While this is very interesting, in this day of massive technology changes and improvements and how social media has taken over the internet in many ways, I can't rely on studies and research that's more than 5 years old, especially that of pre-Facebook and smart phone days.

    I no doubt believe that sick people look for pictures of children on the internet strictly for their own personal sexual pleasure.

    How would people think/feel if this was a man taking photographs of someone else's child? His niece? A friend's daughter? A random client of his photography studio? Does the fact that the girl is his child change your view? Just curious.

    Yes, there are a lot of nasty pedophiles out there who might be drawn to these photos. I don't think anyone said otherwise. The point I was refuting was pictures like this leading to an actual child abduction, which was clearly stated by at least 2 people.

    I think every pedophile has the propensity to abduct a child. It's a matter of whether their disease takes them that far.
