"How someone could harm a child that is so tender and vulnerable is beyond my wildest imaginations," she said, "but when a woman can and does violate that child sexually it is somehow more devastating than even when you hear of these things being done by men."

One thing to keep in mind -- and I'm not sure just how disturbing a fact it is -- is that most advocates of such acts don't see it as harm at all. They honestly believe that adult-child sexual relationships are a "good thing" all around. As such, questioning them personally as to why they would want to bring such "harm" to a child doesn't work -- despite all psychological evidence to the contrary, they honestly do not believe that it really is harm.

Can legal action be taken against a site like "Butterfly Kisses," which promotes an act barred by U.S. state laws?

I'm not really sure that legal action can be taken against just the promotion of any illegal act. If that were the case then anyone who has ever advocated repealing any law that criminalized any action would be in trouble.

Only if the server is located within the US, actually. If it is outside the US, it is outside our jurisdiction, and the law cannot do much, if anything.

The citizenry, on the other hand, could contact their ISP, or even perhaps do things like a DOS attack or hack into it, putting up some not very nice things. (Not that I am advising that, of course. It is, nevertheless, an option, and should be taken only as such.)
