Well it isn't hands on, and it isn't necessarily promoting child molestation, since the magazines are geared toward adults, who can make sane rational choices. I know it is a form of exploitation on the child's part but I personally don't think it is to severe. The attraction to little girls is a subjective thing anyway. I don't know. I say if it makes money and helps that "special brand" of human being vent their sick urge then its easy to overlook as an issue. There are always going to be pedo
out there... I do know of the underground child "porn" rings out there though. Now that is unfortunate, but hard to identify and regulate. The house of reps tried to propose a regulation law in 08, mainly because they wanted to dig and see what they could find regarding child abuse. It stated that all forms of child "pornography" be made illegal and punishable by law. Including the swim suit sort, but it was a flop because a poll showed that most citizens objected to the idea. Mainly because of economic reasons, and that the children being portrayed in main stream magazines were not being subjected to physical or sexual harm in any way, as far as they know of course. I guess, that it really wouldn't put hole in the industry if it were gone though. I personally don't care either way, but this is a fun topic. Of course im lying, when I say don't care.
