My mom has multiple pictures of me naked as a baby, and she said that wasn't considered child pornography. I don't understand why, though. Why are naked baby pictures considered all right but not pictures of those a few years older? What's the minimum age for it to be considered pornography?
Child pornography isn't images of naked children, it's sexual images of naked children and them doing sexual things and have sex with the adult or with each other. Very disturbing stuff. That is why everyone says it's harmful for minors and anyone who would want to look at that stuff is beyond me unless you are a sick person. Only time it doesn't make you a sick person is if you accidentally found it on someone's computer or stick or a disc, if a virus downloaded it on your computer, you were trick into clicking a link and it brought you to that site, you are a police officer or detective and investigating because someone reported child porn, you are working a professional job and you are required to look at those images so you can learn about the signs of abuse. None of these people enjoy seeing them.
I think the question you're asking is when does it become inappropriate to take naked pictures of your children. Looking in my family albums, I would say one or two. That is when families start to have them clothed or when they have a diaper on or when their private parts are not shown when they take pictures. My parents never went out of their way to just snap a photo of my brothers while naked but there is a picture of my brother on his potty chair when he is two but you don't really see anything. But dad has taken movies of me naked when I was two because I was running around the house after my bath. So three is when it becomes unacceptable to take movies of your kids naked. But wait there is a picture of me in the bath tub when I was three and me being naked getting ready for my bath and there is a naked video of me when i was six when I was having my bath with my brothers and I stand up and I am naked. But after that no more movies of me naked so six is the last year of taking videos of your kids naked. Three is the last year for naked photos showing your private parts.
