Child pornography is based on primarily as a money making industry meaning no money to be made then no industry. Considering this and that the prime money 'tool' is a child which usually means someone 12 years or younger after which it becomes teenage sex industry.

Now a child is by nature dependent on a 'adult' so for every naked picture of a child some adult carer or parent who be both or father or mother is making money for themselves. The obvious solution is for statute laws that mandates reporting of the identity of these children to authorities by the internet users perhaps at a government website which shows the only the facial profile of these children

The crimes legislation amendment in the article targets the end user through monitoring and feedback of all users of the internet by the service providers at their costs for the government but eventually to the crowns legal apparatus. Now a usual common person at this point should say 'this is not trying to stop the problem but the symptom' so why are you doing this beside the obvious gain from using a real problem to monitor civil population without their permission.

Obvious question? I think so. Getting a straight reply from the common people's representatives in parliament making these statue laws with the entrenched lawyers in the system who work these documents up? I dont think so.

Ps~ I have read that most viewers of child pornography were sexually abused as children themselves and if this is true then these people dont primarily need prosecution for viewing but therapy and the culprits causing their abuse criminal address.

"Child pornography is based on primarily as a money making industry meaning no money to be made then no industry. Considering this and that the prime money 'tool' is a child which usually means someone 12 years or younger after which it becomes teenage sex industry."

Child usually means under "18" according to both the UN and the adult orientated media & sex industry.

A thirteen year old "sex worker"? I do not think so. Many tens of millions of men are interested in abusing children.

That is the problem, it is the demand side. A sexual interest in children is a common phenomena.

If child pornmography was not so popular it would be easier to eradicate the legal justifications for allowing it.

Child protection advocates in the EU are still campaigning to make it illegal for paedophiles to work as teachers.

The auctioning of 'virginity' is still a big business in the Czech Republic and Canada should you require two examples.

Hello everyone,
I've been reflecting recently on career choices. I am really interested in human rights. I think I'm going to go into human rights law. This tangent aside, as a psychology student, I've been made familiar with the fragile place children are put into during their early development, and how being subjected to child pornography can be detrimental to their well-being. It has also been brought to my attention recently that child porn actually does exist on the internet in abundance. I couldn't beleive it. It makes you question how far we've really come in the Western world.

Does anyone know what someone can do to help contribute to the shutting down of sites on the internet (a petition maybe, or something like it)?

Thank you.
