Mainstream Child Pornography.

"My Sister's Keeper" is a movie that is more than loosely based on the book with the same name written by Jodi Picoult. I have not read the book, but my mother and sister had and so we went to see the Hollywood rendition of the book (which is never as good, but that never stops us from going to the movie!).

My point: the actress, Sofia Vassilieva, playing Kate, the daughter with leukemia, steals away with her leukemia affected boyfriend and get naked together. We saw her entire naked back with these two young individuals lying naked together (14 years old in the movie).

In real-life? She is a child - by law. Her birthdate? 22 October 1992.

This is child pornography - technically.

The sick part? We all sat there and watched. Every young woman in the theater learned that sex is normal for a 14 year old. The adults learned that our society has moved towards a standard of children with breast buds being old enough to be exploited.

P.S.

My sister, who prosecutes sexual assault cases, refers to child pornography as more accurately, child abuse images. Pornography connotes a measure of consent. Children can not consent.
