Tell me of a child that is emotionally (or physically) ready for a sexual relationship? Sounds like abuse to me. Children are not just miniature adults for people to mess with. Everyone needs a childhood. Really? Tell me of a child that is emotionally (or physically) ready for a sexual relationship? Sounds like abuse to me.

Meanwhile, an eleven-year-old boy can have his abs praised on television, and reveal that he's already a good kisser. And this is perfectly fine. I suspect if an 11-year-old girl went on The View and said she was a good kisser already, she and her parents would be attacked in the press, people would express horror, and rumors would circulate about whether she’s been sexually abused, is already sexually active, etc. etc. But when an 11-year-old boy does it? That’s cute! He’s on his way to being a smooth-talking ladies’ man! [...] [...] A young girl wearing revealing clothes is, of course, a disturbing indictment of our society.

Here in France, majority is at 18, but we have another concept : sexual majority, wich is at 15. If the 15+ minor testifies that he/she was willing, then it's partner cannot be charged for the crime of rape. Before 15, it's always illegal whatever the minor says. If both sexual partners are underage minors then the choice to sue or not is often made after a psychological inquiry. In short : we don't send our kids in jail for "playing doctor". However, when it comes to sex between an adult and minor, then you are in for a hell of a lot of troubles. Would those pictures be meant for a familial context or "between minors" context, for me no problem. But those pictures are meant for a commercial use, they were taken in order to be looked at by adults. I'm sorry, but in my country taking pictures of kids in sexually suggestive outfits in order to make a profit by showing those photographies to adults will quickly qualify you for a visit of our jails. What is important is NOT the picture by itself : it is why it was taken! You can take a picture of a 8 year old girl with it's genitalia perfectly visible and have no problem if you are her mother and didn't notice it : no intention, it's an accident. The SAME EXACT picture will send you to jail if you knew what you were doing and intended to sell this photography. Those pictures shown here combine childs and sexualy suggestive outfits and attitudes. If I were to see those pictures in a family album shown by some friends I would say "how cute!". But they were taken in order to make money. You know what? I'm glad I'm French and not American.

Those girls featured on more than covered and look adorable. That thong looks perfectly normal to me for a girl at 9 or 10. Sure some girls are way to immature for thongs due to the fact they can't sit with there legs crossed, play at the park and lack personal hygene. However, I think for some girls its a must. I for one got <a href="http://myfirstthong.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">my first thong</a> way back when I done dance as panties were a no no and my mom didn't want me wearing nothing so the thong was the way to go.

Hell, they more by 10 than most adults did by 20 nowadays. Young girls are so damn sexual, yet no one wants to admit it. Wow!
