I would most certainly have a problem with my child being lured away by anyone for any reason, even if there was nothing sexual involved. That is kidnapping, and an entirely different subject.
What I do NOT have a problem with is parents being in control of NON-pornographic modeling activities. And no, pictures of a child in a bathing suit are not pornography.
If a parent takes their child to a photo shoot, with a cameraman telling them to jump around, spin and twirl, look up at the camera, pick up a ball, pose like such and such, etc etc and takes pictures of them (some from questionable angles, but not blatant pronography) - how is that a sexual game? How has the child been lured away? How is the child being abused? What someone does with a photo has no effect on the individual in the photo. My son would not be damaged no matter what someone thought about while looking at a photo of him. No matter what someone did to that photo.
Actually doing something to him would be stepping far far over that line, and obviously is not something I would agree with in any way.
What is being discussed is modelling done with parental permission, under parental supervision - the results of which are photos that could be considered suggestive. Not pedophiles kidnapping and abusing children.
I have to say I have some VERY suggestive looking home photos of my husband taken when he was 6 or 7 that out rank most anything I have seen sold. He was not abused, was not traumatized, and they are just photos that came out that way. At the modeling agencies, they have pros who are good at finding just the right angle and most suggestive pic out of thousands of burst shots while a child is playing around. It doesn`t mean that anything happened to the child or that there is any abuse going on.

I have not looked at the original website posted on here. I thought it was all PORN which makes me feel sick
We are not allowed to take photos of our children in plays, Nativity plays nowadays-- nor video them.
I pass a childrens playground every day but am not allowed to talk to the children-- even though Ipass almost every day when I walk my dogs.
