This prohibition extends to all forms of visual media, including photographs, film and electronic and digital reproductions. It is evidence an ISP can use to track a screenname. At the present time, there is no such address and Internet users MUST destroy all child pornography they receive because it is illegal to receive, send or possess such material in any form. Local law enforcement may or may not be able to cope with the information taken to them by worried parents. Internet predators do not discriminate between city kids and country kids.
Child pornography is evidence of a crime.
It's like being witness to a rape or murder except that you are required to bury the victim and the evidence, but to obtain the criminal's address and license plate number. The children and adults in these photographs have faces which are usually recognizable and there may be clues in the background that will lead to the identification of the animals who torture children. If we, as a nation, are really serious about ending child abuse, we need to offer parents and guardians more than a law which is intended to punish predators, but merely drives them underground and severely limits a parent's ability to report a crime. A safe address is not a perfect solution, but it is a start. If you are interested in joining us in our drive to have Congress create a safe address, we'd be grateful for your participation.
