"And for many pedophiles, attracted emotionally as well as sexually to the innocence of children, pictures of scantily clad little girls or boys are almost as precious as nude photos.

Don't worry, Congress is preparing to pass a law to require adults to interact with children in a cold, unfeeling manner. This has already been implemented in the schools.

"Some of it was pictures of kids playing in parks that the members had taken.

Congress is preparing to ban parks and cameras. All for the sake of the children. Don't even mention beaches.

"It is a small step from pictures to live "fashion shows", isn't it? Even children's fashion shows at the mall have always concerned me, given the number of non-parent men who usually gather to watch.

The government has placed an order for the surplus small-size burkhas left over in Afghanistan. Wearing them will be compulsory.

However, parents will still be permitted to kiss and hug their own children, provided it is done in the privacy of their own home, and another adult is present.

There's still no word on the law requiring babies to change their own diapers.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

As a liberaltarian, I have no problem with this sort of behavior. No one's rights are being trampled upon; no one's getting hurt.

Kidding.

This is &#(%!#()%^!#(%^!#()%ing SICK!

This makes me so f***ing mad. I couldn't even read past the first few lines.
maybe this can help

Particularly sickening are the comments by the parents. Like the one bragging about her child's fat college bank account. "If you want college money, shake your *ss in front of a camera". And the parent who shows her little girl cooking in thigh-high stocking and high heels and then makes idiotic comments about advertising to sell goods...do elementary age school girls wear thigh-highs and heels? These people are virtually a hop, skip and jump away from pimping their own children.

"In the old days, USENET had EVERYTHING. Probably still does."

One of the sources of constant amazement to me is the seeming ignorance people have about the 'Net. Congress, politicians, the media, seemingly everyone, all labor under the mistake impression that the Internet = The World Wide Web. NOT. The 'web" is only part of what's out there. USENET (newsgroups) still exist, and newsgroups are not "web sites" - in fact, they're not sites at all. Usenet is an anarchous loosely governed comglomeration of news servers around the world, most peering each other, that don't "host" anything but simply store and relay "messages." Anyone with a news feed can get newsgroups, and most ISP's include a newsfeed. With over 80,000 newsgroups, there's something for everyone - music, travel, aviation, model railroads, literary discussion, home improvement, software ("warez"), cars, etc...and yes, porn. There are groups where you can, if you're patient, "find" almost anything, but the members have posted such illegal items in chopped-up formats that deter all but the most dedicated from "stumbling across and viewing" the material.

Then, there's IRC chat ("undernet"). Chat groups that exist for trading purposes, but NOT like email. Then, there are ftp sites, some that are only up for a random hour or so each day. Instant messaging is another. Fact is, there is a LOT of STUFF moving along the spine that ain't "the web."

But don't expect Congress or most parents, for that matter, to understand how all this works.

You can put in all the filters you want and look at your kid's browser history list until you're blue in the face - and never see 1/10th of what that computer might have been used for.

The "WEB" is ONLY THE BEGINNING.

How utterly odd that this article was published - and so far discussed here - without so much as ONE SINGLE MENTION of Jon Benet Ramsey. Because this is the very same thing as child beauty pageants...except it's one kid and it's on tape. At the child beautify pageants, you can see LOTS of kids - LIVE. Same skimpy costumes, same sexy dances and skits. An eyebrow or two gets raised but no big deal.

BUT - let someone video tape their kid doing the same thing she might do at a child beauty pageant --- and everyone is all of a sudden in an uproar.

Be consistent, folks.

See my comment above on CHILD BEAUTY PAGEANTS - such as the genre Jon Benet Ramsey was involved with. The kids show up with the equivalent of a $300 hair-and-makeup job, wear skimpy outfits and do sexy dances, songs and skits. An eyebrow or two gets raised, but nothing more.

Yet when someone tapes their child doing the same thing she'd do at a child beauty pageant AND sells the tape - and, God forbid, OVER THE INTERNET, well, then, that's just ATROCIOUS.

Please. This kind of stuff has been going on live at pageants all over the country for years and years. Is the fact that it's on TAPE somehow more damning?

Ironically, I watched a video this morning that a friend sent me. It was an HBO special on child beauty pageants. Watching people make their 6 years olds look like sexy 23 year olds was disgusting.

[Phantom Lord]

How long before someone argues that childrens beauty pagents are nothing more than a "flea market of opportunity" for pedophiles?

[mattdono]

BTW- You make a lot of important and sound suggestions.

Thanks, wheezer!

My brother-in-law is big into usenet groups and IRC for warez, movies, music, and the such. He set me up with mIRC to download music. While he is a computer geek and finds it very easy, I have a difficult time doing the most basic of activities.

He dreads my phone calls because I ask him the most simple and basic questions that he gets frustrated with me. And the "rooms", for lack of knowing their real name, all seem to be written in a foriegn language to me.

Ill stick with FR for discussion purposes and similar sites and send my BIL an email request for songs and albums to be mailed to me.

"Who is anyone to tell my child at what age she can create and sell a product?" she said.

First of all, if the product is Jessi's sexy self, then Jessi's Mom needs to have her parenting license revoked.

Second of all, what will Jessi's Mom say when the killer of a brutally abused and murdered 12-year-old girl turns out to be one of Jessi's fans. The real danger isn't that one of these perverts will go looking for Jessi (although Mr. and Ms. Ramsey might disagree). the real danger is that one of these perverts might be my neighbor, and go after my daughter after getting excited by Jessi.

Shalom.

There is a special place in Hell (right up by the fire, I hope) for parents who exploit their children this way.

In my opinion, it's little better than pimping out a child.

This makes me sick.

[galt-jw]

child sacrifice has begun.

[Clemenza]

Started in Florida

Why am I not surprised...

[jgrubbs]

I just called Rep. Folley's office they said the bill number is HR 4667. I'm calling mu Congressman to get them to cosponsor this bill.

When I worked at Borders while in college a few years back, we sold a book called "Naked Babies." It had photos of infants in the nude and an introduction by Anne Quindlen. Since we had it up front by the register, customer after customer would ask us "how can you sell that." Thankfully, nobody ever bought a copy.

[codebreaker]

That mom is mentally ill.

"Who is anyone to tell my child at what age she can create and sell a product?" she said. "Jessi is thrilled to be earning her way to college at such an early age

Yeah right, I'm sure Mom's debating the finer points of Princeton and Yale at this moment. More likely she's weighing buying that bitchin' '89 IROC two trailers down.

And if anyone happens to run into Jeff Libman and Marc Greenberg, go ahead and knock their teeth down their throats for me. I'll pay your court costs.
