Today, I had the misfortune of discovering a “child modeling” site. Holy cow, this was pedophile heaven. These people who make these sites, though, know their legal ins and outs. The site and its links are presented as a modeling portfolio for these little girls, 6 and up, as if people who were looking for children for genuine modeling shoots would be cruising around there. However, not only are there fee structures amazingly similar to those of your standard adult porn sites, but these children are clearly posed in provocative, sexual poses. <\/p>\n
Legally, these sites aren’t crossing any lines – the girls are clothed, no actual images of nipples or genitalia are shown, but geez louise. . .if you see a picture of a 10 year old in a tank top and thong panties, focus of the shot on the buttocks, with the little face looking back over her shoulder, a finger or two being nibbled on and eyes half closed. . .well, is that going to get sent in a resume to Sears or JC Penney? <\/p>\n
It’s hard to decide whom to hate more, the “agents” taking the pictures and setting up the sites, or the parents who actually allow their children to take part in this. It makes my stomach turn. <\/p>\n
Now, there are a number of legal and law enforcement people who have a good point (especially considering how roughshod our rights are being run over lately) that anything that specifically addresses this opens a world of possibilities to persecute innocent people. It’s sad that we’ve become so committed to the letter of the law that we can’t interpret the intent and get this slimy stuff eliminated. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
