World wide the child porn charge is getting well and truly out of hand. Over here we had a person convicted and confirmed on appeal of possessing child porn for having the 'adult' Simpsons cartoon (bart and lisa). The judges said that bart and lisa are 'children'. And on and on it goes. True child porn is evil. A teenager taking nude photos of herself and sending them to someone is not. It is dumb - not evil. And who wants to stand up against child porn laws and their uses? No-one. Until the day arrives that possession of a photo of any child is a crime - including drawings, cartoons and literature. I'm sick to death of this utter crap that charges CHILDREN with child porn charges like this. Where are the politicians with a brain, wehere are the judges with a conscience. In NSW here there was concern that child porn convictions were low and people where getting off for the technicality of the cops being unable to prove the girl in the photo was under 18. So what do they do? Pass a law saying that if a child is dressed in a style that is <16yo then that person can be considered underage unless you can prove otherwise. Its getting to the stage that it is dangerous to own a digital camera.
Id like to say this is from the 'only in america' file but it aint. It's happening everywhere. -----Original Message----- From: profox-boun...@leafe.com [mailto:profox-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Michael Madigan Sent: Friday, 27 March 2009 2:40 PM To: profox@leafe.com Subject: [OT] No common sense anymore They're charging a 14yo girl with sending child pornography for sending photos of herself.
