I personally feel that parents are to blame for the child pron growing so big, its not Completely down to the parents but it begins from here, an example is the fact that the clothing market for children is getting very similar to the adult market, it seems like the age of being a child is getting smaller... childhood at the moment is getting shorter.

Clothing that should only be made for adults is now avalible for children and the fact that people actually buy it makes it even worse,
I work in a store and a girl of about 2 came in with her mom, dressed in a tiny mini skirt and t-shirt, should a mini skirt be made for babies?
Why is it made for babies?
Why do parents buy it for their babies?
All these questions need answering and I feel from this example, we can see why with the current attitudes of today's society why child pornography is growing..
P.S Dont get me wrong i dont think it is soley that parents but it contributes to the factor!

There should be nothing "sexual" ini looking at a 6 year old no matter what they had on.

Pron using children is a mental defect and if they were looking at children in the Sears Catalong in the 60's. Before internet.
This is merely a poor excuse for trying to blame someone other than the sexual deviant for a problem.

The problem is that there are people who are sick, they like to look and think of children in sexual ways.

Hi,
Manufacturers' will put put anything on the market to sell. It's up to people to decide what they will buy. As long as some buy these products, they will continue to be sold in stores. If no one buys it, it's gone!
But, I don't think parents are responsible for Child Porn. There are sick people in this world who promote this stuff, and it's not parents in general who do.
Wearing clothing of any type for children doesn't promote it, it's the sick ones who do.
Parents, in general, are responsible for many things in today's World, such as drug use, jail, detention centers for teens, etc. When parents don't pay attention to their children, have talks with them, be a family together, then their children pay the price for not having parents who really care about them.
But, Child Porn is not one of these categories.

I think there is a line between being sexy and becoming sexual.

A parent dressing their baby in a mini-skirt and trendy baby shirt do so to show off how cute their baby is. As Father Chuck said, it's a mental defect for an adult look at that as sexually provocative.

The story is a little different when a 17 year old dresses provocatively. They want to be noticed, be trendy, and be sexually attractive. I am sure lots of 18 year old guys look at 17 year old girls as sexually provocative no matter what they are wearing.

I don't know how an adult can get to a place where their sexual thoughts revolve around children, but I don't think seeing a 10 year old in a skimpy t-shirt pushes somebody over the edge. That kind of person has those urges regardless of what the kid is wearing.
