    Thanks for that link...

    I am absolutely disgusted!!.. I just don't understand why a parent would subject their child to this for a few extra bucks and a chance for them to have a career in modelling etc... Do they not realise the amount of people that would be looking and doing icky things to themselves whilst looking at their child..

    They are so young!!

    So sick!!

    I reported those sites..

    I can't get over it.. I have never seen anything like it.. WHo the hell taught those very young girls to pose like that.. They should be haulled up in court for that

    :confused:

    Child Porn or Otherwise

    I think people are guilty of getting into bitter arguments here on what is obviously an emotional subject and one that fills many of us with absolute disgust.

    Firstly, for Michael to deride someone for drawing attention to the link is not helpful. In some ways he has a point. It may be a little misguided to publicise the site which in the end just gets it more hits and runs the risk of encouraging people to look at the site who may or may not be influenced one way or another by what they see.

    Michael, to say that porn disgusts you doesn't necessarily bring people to your way of thinking or lend itself to any active and useful debate. Most men, self included have looked at porn either on or offline at some stage or other. When I first started to use the internet it was interesting and far cheaper than running out and buying a magazine - if you're into that kind of thing.

    Personally, after a few weeks online the porn sites became annoying and repetitive and their attempts to get you to dial up or stay on their site by use of multiple windows is something we should all be concerned about - especially as many of us allow our kids to use the internet.

    Whilst I did take a look at the site in question and whilst I am amazed that parents would let their kids appear in that way - its almost an open invite for any perv online to oggle at their children - I don't think that there is anything anyone can do to stop a site like that. The laws in Europe, the USA and most western countries draw the line at nudity. Whilst this is clearly not child porn it is blatantly exploiting children. The fact that these sites have active membership behind a closed membership password is far more sinister.

    I have run and operate a multitude of websites and recently on one portal, of over 3000 pages and thousands of links, it hit the regional press for having a link off a link - 3 links deep, showing topless girls. Very mild you might think and it shows how the press and all concerned have very little understanding of the net - typing porn in google is just one link away from porn.

    The issue was that children in a school had viewed topless girls ( all over 18 ) from clicking on three links away from one of our sites on a link listed on one of our many pages. The press had a field day and so did we. Our hits on this site went from 1000 a day to over 3000 a day and it got the site noticed immediately. We removed the link immediately as it had no relevance to our site at all but we still benefitted from all the publicity.

    The newspaper that reported the link ended up in hot water themselves over it. Their headline read ' Children as young as 9 view topless girls from city website'. The whole thing went terribly wrong for them when concerned parents started to query why a classroom of kids were left unattended and browsing the net. To make matters worse, the newspaper in question regularly advertised massage and escort services in is columns and had hundreds of calls of complaints and accusations levied against them as a result of their article. The old saying ' Those in glass houses' applies.

    All you do by viewing such a site is increase their hits. The only people who will benefit is the site owners. Reporting them will not get them stopped as they are acting within the law. In addition, it is a well known fact that companies wishing to operate outside of the USA or Europe will use old Eastern Block countries, particularly Russia, to house their content on foreign servers.

    The best thing we can all do is block these sites, refuse to acknowledge them and get software / monitor our kids use of the internet.

    I think we all agree that we would not want to promote this site around the internet which is unfortunately just what we are doing right now.

    It's not the worst site out there. It won't be the only one. You can't stop them but you can ignore them. If we all ignored them they wouldn't be popular would they.

    God gave us men a penis and a brain, but only enough blood to run one at a time.
