just a thought..

Answer 1

Answer 2

Because children are not of legal consenting age and are thought of by the law to not have the ability at making a clear and correct judgment as to what is right and what is wrong.

That is why all child pornography is illegal. Children are seen to not be able to make a correct decision on what might happen to them in the future due to the p**n as well. Think of all of the statutory rape cases too, as well as the date rape cases. Just because a girl says ok at the time does not mean that she will not change her mind later on. The parents would also have to be involved due to the legalities of the child not being able to sign any legal contracts.

It is too hard legally and lawfully all the way around for it to even be considered.

If child pornography were legal to children even, then it would be produced more and be out there for anyone (including adults) to access it easier. That is a problem. Another factor is if it were legal for children to watch, they could download it when they were 17 and then they would still have it as an adult. Adults do not get younger, we get older, so it is not like the p**n will all of a sudden become illegal if a year or two goes by due to the age of the adult.

I hope that this sheds some light on the subject for you.
