Child Pornography
Annotated Bibliography
Crofts, T and Lee, M. (2008). 'Sexting', Children and Child Pornography'. Journal of Criminology. Vol 35:85
This article focuses on the practice of children using the new media like YouTube, Facebook and Myspace to distribute the sexually explicit images known as 'sexting'. The authors have discussed the issues considering the legal frameworks and blamed the current laws for child exploitation. They point out the inability of the current legislation to discriminate between the activities and different levels of potential harm. This technical study concludes that the current legislative framework has the potential to produce more harms to many of the practices that actually seek to regulate.

("Supreme Court Rejects..." 2002) More constitutional problems have been encountered in the law's battle against child pornography as a federal court in September 2004 outlawed a Pennsylvania State law that required internet service providers (ISPs) to block websites containing child pornography. The Court considered the technology used in the blocking of such sites as clumsy that could cause "massive suppression" of constitutionally protected speech. Apart from conducting a legal "balancing

Some children may come up with the extreme effects of the sexual abuse they suffered, forget them and lead towards a better life if got a chance, while some other children may fail to recover their emotional and psychological strength and confidence. They may suffer failure in their general goals of life too.
