Child pornography

Here is an article about a man arrested for child pornography. He was videotaping nude children playing a beach for nudist. If it is "OK" for the children to be nude in the presence of adult strangers, why is it then a crime for them to be photographed that way? I can see if there is a crime because he was taping them without their knowledge or permission, but why it is pornography? I don't have a problem with the whole "nudist" thing -- to each their own. However, I don't know what I think have having your children running around naked in front of a bunch of strangers, particularly adults. While you make have pure motives, others may not -- like this guy.

Oh Kay there have been many horror stories about nudist or as they like to call themselves, "naturalists" resorts etc. When Danielle Van Dam was kidnapped from her home in Poway, CA and murdered I did a lot of looking into this stuff because her parents were accused of being "swingers". There are TONS of these places that are fraught with pedophiles because the kids, even teens, are running around nude. I personally think being naked is not totally natural for us or we'd have more hair and less dangley things. Anyway, filming children nude is a no no (unless it's for the "newsletter" and the magazines that they put out at the resort). Adults that take pics of other people's nude kids are suspect and certainly this lead to LE finding child porn in the man's home.

I think after a certain age it's pretty irresponsible to not teach kids some modesty for their own protection; but I'm an uptight conservative who would be the most overprotective parent on planet earth.

I'm glad someone had enough heads up to report this guy.

BTW here's a good place to start. I can't believe I found this site again after all these years...it looks updated so I'll have to go see what's new.

I am all for concenting adults participating in pretty much whatever they want to but involving children in nudist activities is just asking for a problem.
