A very good article. Brisbane listeners were subjected to a seriously squalid outbreak of "Hinchist" treatment of this issue by Steve Austin on ABC Radio 612 4QR earlier this year. A photographer of children in a public place was found to have broken no laws but was pilloried on air and on the front page of the Courier Mail because some US based web site had listed the man's blog as a site with good children photo's. There were no links in the other direction and none of the photos were of a sexual nature.

As a father of three, my concerns about paedophile activity are as strong as anyone's but I am also aware of the infectious and uplifting quality of photos that capture the sense of awe and spontaneous glee that comes so easily to children's faces. Put these images in a retirement home and watch them weave their magic on the soul. They should be put everywhere, like Aldous Huxley's talking Macaws in "Island", his vision of paradise, to remind us all of what life was meant to be.

For the day is rapidly approaching when the median household will be devoid of such glee and our society will be defined by what Christopher Isherwood described as "small men with frowns, beheading daisies with a stick, that one finds loitering without vista in the foothills of great ideas".

A sexual interest in children is common. It would be wise to presume that 4 or 5 percent of males are actively interested. In the United Kingdom teachers are the primary culprit in about 17 percent of sex crime allegations involving children.

Gotta be honest...
If women are slutty enough to lie naked (or almost naked) in a public place then they deserve to be photographed like that.
I can't stand the fact that a topless woman in the street could be arrested but one on the beach is ok.
It's really disgusting, and I'm sick of it.
