I came across this article whilst wandering
found_objects and I post it here becase of the content related to the over eroticizing of children that it permeating our present culture. I believe that societies obsession with stamping out child pornography and related has created and is further creating an unhealthy obsession of the child as a sexual being.
She, the author of this article, has clearer words than I on this all too disturbing subject.
