One of the problems with Facebook is that the administrators don’t monitor the pages. The only way this stuff gets stopped is if enough users report it, and the pages that post this are usually closed. I think there will have to be several lawsuits, if not criminal prosecution, before this is corrected. You have to remember the whole thing was invented and run by Ivy League college students, a group of people who aren’t exactly well known for their judgment, scruples or decency.
Not to defend those who are truly exploiting children but it isn’t always easy to draw the line between someone who posts a photo of a child for prurient interests and someone who thought it was so cute that little Susie is taking her first bath in a real bathtub or little Jimmy’s diapers won’t stay up, etc.
You would hope that, in this day, parents and grandparents would be smarter about what they show the rest of the world but there are still many who aren’t. They see the photo as harmless so why not share?
I have no tolerance for those who truly want to exploit children but we can’t draw the line too restrictively without making criminals of a lot of unthinking parents and grandparents who just want to show off those embarrassing moments of their adorable kids.
