You say that the sentence for child porn is too steep, and while I don't necessarily agree, I am curious to know what you think is a more suitable sentence? Do you believe that jail time should even be served in this case?<br />Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09213450511901400160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520559915267373429.post-67294316095646785512013-03-05T03:36:51.675-08:002013-03-05T03:36:51.675-08:00you know what your problem is?

So you SHARE the consequences of his CRIME.<br /><br />Maybe you should focus a little less on defending the grown adult who knowingly engaged in a criminal act that victimizes children and a little more on the CHILDREN WHO WERE HARMED in the creation of the images that your husband sought out for his personal use.<br /><br />Once you stop seeing yourself/your husband as the victim and start empathizing with the REAL victims, maybe--just maybe--you'll be able to move on. But for God's sake...stop polluting the internet with this vomit. ibrewteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18091035188718799234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520559915267373429.post-35893865261652768072013-03-04T12:34:23.004-08:002013-03-04T12:34:23.004-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Girliest Nerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18047794965229139360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520559915267373429.post-63581132909016568662013-03-01T06:21:08.465-08:002013-03-01T06:21:08.465-08:00Didn't you say your husband only got four year...Didn't you say your husband only got four years in prison? I'm sure for you and your children that is a long time to be without him, but it does not seem out of line to me. If he had gotten life for having looked at two photos...sure...that would be out of line.

In...You tagged this post "home invasion". Invasion being a word with violent connotations. You felt fear and violation having people enter your home, yes? I think what Jen is trying to explain to you is that knowing these photos are being viewed is "soul invasion" or "invasion of privacy" for child porn victims. A violent act in terms of their spirits, sense of self and the safety of their privacy. Imagine waking up every day knowing those police were coming into your home. Those children wake up every day knowing someone is going to be looking at their private parts and viewing the worst day of their lives with pleasure..every single day. If you put half as much effort into feeling as sorry for the victims of child porn as you do for yourself you would be one step closer to not being a sociopath. Unfortunately due to your non acknowledgement of any harm done by child porn I concur with most who read this blog: that you are actually a male pedophile attempting to garner sympathy and acceptance for your sick desires.

It is violence because it is harming children. As I said above, without viewers there would not be a market for child porn and there would be fewer victims. More children are victims of violence because more people are asking for these images. Also, I work with these victims and see/hear first hand their pain and the harm that has been caused to them. Many of them are very pained knowing that their images are being viewed. That is why I see viewing child pornography as a violent act.

If you were to speak to the victims I think you would have a different take on everything. I can promise you, whether the images display violent acts or not, they are harmful. These children are being revictimized every time their photo is shown and the pain many of them feel knowing these photos are out there is horrid. You say "Don't tell me that looking at child porn encourages someone else to create more child porn" why? It is very true. If there was not a market for such things there would be less victims. Also, I sincerely hope you know the difference between adults in a bar fight and an innocent child that cannot protect him/herself.<br /><br />I am sorry for what your husband has done to your family, and I hope you and your children are able to find peace and heal.Jen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04436569833867017062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520559915267373429.post-64691720851532578332013-02-22T09:56:43.126-08:002013-02-22T09:56:43.126-08:00Hi Jen,

Now, you show me how looking at child porn is the same as committing those violent acts. Don't tell me that looking at child porn encourages someone else to create more child porn. That may or may not be true but is a separate subject. Tell me where the violence is in looking at child porn. Tell me where the violence is in possessing child porn. Is it also a violent act to possess images from a really nasty bar fight?<br /><br />Because some, perhaps most, images that are considered child porn are <i>not</i> images of violent acts, tell me why you think viewing images of non-violent acts is violent.<br />Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10597007600326637447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520559915267373429.post-51563162329484416372013-02-22T09:43:30.928-08:002013-02-22T09:43:30.928-08:00Child porn is NOT a non violent crimeChild porn is NOT a non violent crimeJen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04436569833867017062noreply@blogger.com
