Reply #32: contrary to popular opinion most families DON'T/DIDN'T do this [View All]

[pitohui]

i'm old, i think prob. much older than you, and let's get real

my family didn't take naked photos of underage children nor did they think naked photos of underage children were taken for any purpose other than to humiliate said children

i knew families where this was done -- NONE of the kids were happy to have their naked butts hanging out there

i'm not saying these people deserve a felony, but they do deserve a fine and to understand that what they did was WRONG

what part of "consenting adults" do people not get?

a baby or a toddler is not able to give consent

i do not need to have my naked ass on film at age two and spread around for the laughter of adults, to NO benefit to me, only to my mental humiliation, because someone thinks that photographing me naked was "cute"

if it humiliates an adult w. an adult's understanding to be photo'd bare without permission how much more does it humiliate the child w.out choice?

we either believe in consent or we don't

most when it comes down to their own actions DON'T if we go by the posts on this board

sorry, i'm not psychic, if you're photographing nude children and photographing them embracing each other nude -- ah, you can see, i just saw one of the actual photos -- ok, i'm not saying it's equivalent to rape but it's a violation and there needs to be some punishment to send a message

a child's body is not the adult's toy to exploit in photographs

what's wrong w. waiting until the child is old enough to make up her own mind abt whether she wants to be photo'd nude? did somebody say "the baby butt is cuter than the 18 yr old butt_ == my friend, if you HONESTLY believe that, god help you because there is something wrong with you

CONSENT means something, babies and toddlers CAN'T consent

i'm not saying register them as sex offenders but yes they needed to pay a price to make them stop the activity -- these folks apparently think they are legimitately justified in spreading this type of photo around of a child too young to give consent

they think, in other words, that their child is just a possession rather than a living human being w. feelings
