A culture supportive of child abuse? : Comments

By Patmalar Ambikapathy Thuraisingham, published 29/5/2008

This is not just a debate on art, censorship or rights, but whether we are a society supportive of child abuse.

Quote -"Helen54 what an extremely misleading comment.

That abuse has nothing to do with this artwork. You seek to taint Henson by association and appeal to emotions without making a single substantiated comment. How does that abuse relate to Henson and his work?

What you have done here is disgusting: Using their abuse to advance your own political agenda. What a disgrace.

"It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." - William Shakespeare" - unquote

Sorry to burst your caustic, arrogant and very ignorant bubble Steel, but white children abused are "primed" before the sexual act by books, sometimes artwork and movies - portraying children. Aboriginal children are forced to watch hard core porn often with children involved. One of the communities up north was spending an estimated $1500 a month on mail order pornography - this was in 2005

My ex husband was abused by a man who showed him artworks of naked children prior to forcing his intentions upon him. As for my being political - I vote green if that has anything to do with it.

Helen, you are still doing it. Have you no shame?

You are attributing to media intended for adult consumption (in this case hardcore pornography), the crime of bad parenting and child molestations. That is absolutely disgraceful.

And you think I'm in the bubble here... Haven't you been reading the rubbish coming from you people? It's not even factual or rational.

....Such is propaganda. It's sad you believe it, but I suppose if you gullible and emotional it's hard to think critically about this.

Nowhere in your post do you acknowledge the wishes or opinions of the parents and the model herself who agreed to do the work voluntarily. They defend Henson and they blame all the damage and outrage squarely on you and your kind of bigotry. Harassed and demonised by society, the model is made ashamed to believe in her body. It's disgusting.
