THIS IS CHILD EXPLOITATION, NOT 'CHILD PORNOGRAPHY'
Use of the phrase 'child pornography' actually benefits child sex abusers because:
it indicates legitimacy and compliance on the part of the victim and therefore legality on the part of the abuser; and
it conjures up images of children posing in 'provocative' positions, rather than suffering horrific abuse.
Every photograph captures an actual situation where a child has been abused. This is not pornography.
