God love the parents,sure im sure millions of parents have taken photos of their kids like that

Yes they have :mad:

I remember my parents showing our photo album to my then girlfriend, and one photo of when I was 5 in the bathtub.

Little do they know, I have since removed said picture :P

How much of a stretch would it be to consider that if police discovered you were in possession of such a photo, it would be considered child porn, even if it is a picture of yourself?

Its a bit sad really. When I was young there were plenty of frindly aul men, salt of the earth type, who would stop in the street for a chat and maybe give you a pound for an ice cream.

Men are afraid to even look at a child that isn't their own now, if you saw a child crying in the street you'd probably look around for the nearest woman to do something

:eek:

What picture? I see no picture!

I never even thought about that. Wouldn't surprise me tbh. Drawing Lisa Simpson naked could get you arrested.

I remember when my uncle bought his camcorder to the beach when he brought us all. He started filiming us, a harmless video for the family. Until some prick came along and threatened to call the police. He wasn't even filming other children.

Look around for help? Are you kidding? No, better to get hell out of there before someone blames you for the kid crying.

Thats pretty funny.

All makes are a paedophile until proven heterosexual.

What, including Lexus?

Paedophiles are the new witches. They had problems telling witches apart from normal people back then. They found a solution though - just burn 'em all.

We haven't really progressed at all.

Sounds like the security gaurd was on a mad power trip

Afraid not.
This rule is enforced on all UK council playgrounds for at least 15 years. My 5 year old daughter fell from a swing in a London playground in 1994. I ran in to see if she was ok, and was grabbed by an attendent at the gate who threatened to call the police if I went any further. No male adults were allowed inside, or were allowed to use a camera.

Unfortunately, the following story is much worse:

Mom defends soldier accused of having child porn

January 15, 2010 1:03 PM

GALESBURG -- An Illinois National Guard soldier in Afghanistan has been charged by the U.S. Army with possessing child pornography over pictures of a young relative his mother says she sent him.

Terri Miller of Galesburg says she sent her son, Specialist Billy Miller, pictures of the little girl to help him get over his homesickness.
The pictures show the child in a swimsuit playing a wading pool and sitting on a truck. In one, the girl is wearing a swim suit and part of her buttocks are exposed.

The Army says Miller will stay in Afghanistan until his court martial. His unit came home last August. Miller faces jail time, if convicted.

Terri Miller says the pictures are innocent.

WQAD TV reports that the child is a relative Billy treated as his own child when the girl was diagnosed with cancer as her father was going through boot camp. The family notes that the same pictures are on family computers and on Facebook pages, and no one else has been investigated.
"You have no clue how it eats me up", said a crying Terri Miller. "I blame myself every day, every day, if I wouldn't have sent the pictures he would be home."

not that much of a stretch considering in the US, some girls aged 14-16 who "sexted" naughty pictures of themselves to their boyfriends were kicked off the cheerleading team and there were serious talks of charging them with distribution of child pornography, though i'm not sure if it followed through.
Ridiculous.

AnonoBoy · 26-02-2010 10:29PM

So the security guard was ok with him walking around with the kid that he thought wasn't his, but if he tried to take a photo that's not allowed?

If he actually thought he was a paedophile surely he should have tried to take the child in danger away from him, no?

caseyann · 26-02-2010 10:50PM

No he was right to do so,after he found he was the father then he should have stepped away.

God I hate when that happens.

On-topic, yeah, even riding on the bus I'm careful not to even look at kids, and if one sits beside me I'm too terrified to move for the whole trip. And even at family reunions, with young cousins, it's fine for the women who can hug the kids, let them sit on their knees, lift them up, whatever, but the men simply cannot.

If it keeps up, a generation or two from now and male adults are going to be completely, emotionally removed from young children and that ain't healthy.

jesus dunjohn. that is bad. i don't think i know any male in my family that would distance themselves from the kids. i know some men don't like to be watched playing with kids because they're a bit shy but leave them to their own devices and they return to the age of ten!

This story from the states is even crazier.

who the hell doesn't have these pictures of their kids? i know i do. kids don't care about being naked, my daughter prances around after her bath in the nip and i have the photos to shame her for when she's older

i think the world is feckin mad, men not being allowed to sit beside kids they don't know, like what in the name of jaysus does the airline think they are going to do? rape them infront of everyone on the bloody plane?

rant over

That one is shocking also.

Really does say a lot that a soldier at war is nearly sent to jail cause of half a buttock in a photo of young girl he knows that has cancer.

He most likely has seen friends die in battle and have their body's blown to bits and then to have something like that leveled at you about a buttock in a photo .. he must feel like laughing, if it all wasn't so fcuking sad.

Media whips up moral storm about child-offender lists and sta;ling paedos

Rabble

Police try to look on top of things

Man performs innocent task

Police overact,

Media question draconian focus on paedo-storn with scant or no irony

I thanked him because he made a good point. I thank posts because of what they say, not who says them.
All he said was: certain sections of the media have played no small role in paedophilia-related paranoia and hysteria... no doubt this messed up incident is partially explained by that. Yet now those same sections of the media are all hand-wringing and shocked by the injustice of it, despite the gaping irony...

The fact that you laugh at the notion that you might actually be talking bollox, says it all.

If I thought that you had something to say on the thread topic, I might actually reply to your idiotic comments.

But from reading your posts on AH regularly I am aware that the topic doesn't really matter to you, as you just approach most threads in the same sarcastic manner.

Of course, you'll call it 'Irony' and most likely you think your posts are so original, they're not.

'Irony' is the last thing that anyone would find in the content of your posts.

Cynicism and sarcasm, sure - but irony, never.

it gives the impression that outlaw pete and kivaro both fancy stovelid and are afraid dudess is trying to flirt with their man..

I don't give a shit what you think about my posts, so stay your pompous directives. What you mean of course is that I approach threads in a way that you don't approve of. Deal with it. If it breaches the charter, let the mods decide/

That's nothing new. Take Julia Somerville's case for example, here. This kind of Paedophile hysteria has been going on for a while.

Thanks Karl,

I couldn't remember her name.

Chris Morris said that her getting arrested that inspired him to make the classic Brass Eye Paedogeddon Special in 2001. That and the Pediatrician having PAEDO spray painted on her clinic

Hard to believe it's almost ten years and that the message of that show is just as relevant today, if not more so in fact. The moral panic is crazy and shows no sign of abating.

A few years ago even French and Saunders had a sketch from their show banned as they had girls dressed up as the Spice Girls with fake boobs.

That article is inaccurate and has since been clarified. The photographs in question are not those of his niece. Soldier was in the unit we replaced, as it happens. Mom is making the presumption that the only photographs he had were the ones of his niece that she sent him.
