Note to Dave Daubenmire
Your son has already hurt children. Oh, maybe not directly, maybe.* But by downloading child pornography, he has hurt the children who were forced to appear in it. He is supporting an industry that hurts children in one of the most vile ways. So spare us the talk of how your son is "a model guy." Model guys don't want to jerk off to videos of men raping young girls (or women).
With respect to the article itself, is it possible we could not refer to child pornography as "video of young girls having sex with adult men..."? The young girls are NOT having sex with adult men. The adult men are raping the young girls. There's a huge, huge difference between those two statements, and it's the first kind of statement that completely shadows the reality of what is going on here. It makes it sound as though the young girls are willing participants, consenting actors. It puts the emphasis on them as the subject of the sentence, and, as a result, removes it from the adult men who are committing the crime.
*I say maybe, because, really, how the hell do we know? You're certainly not going to find out by asking other adults (i.e., "the people he's coached with, the school system he's worked with..."). And I think there's a high correlation between viewing child pornography and raping children. Not a perfect correlation, but a high one.
