...Babies, children and (semi-)nude photography...


Why do the media show nude pictures of children? Why is it considered 'normal' and 'common' to share a picture of a child on social media, when the child is hardly ever dressed?

Why do you all do this? 

Seriously, don't you think that sharing a picture of a semi-naked child with your friends:

a) is utopic? 
Because most of these pictures show beautiful babies, with beautiful eyes! Have you ever seen a picture of an unattractive baby dressed in pretty clothes? Or a similar picture of a baby that lacks his/her hands or feet?  Or a picture of a blind baby?

These pictures have gone through a photoshop process. The babies look gorgeous, but in truth not all babies are beautiful, not all babies are healthy. This is simply a matter of propaganda: these pictures 'sell' the view that all babies are gorgeous, and that YOU should also become a mother / father and get a gorgeous baby like these. 

But expectations may be deceiving. Your kid may be no-oil-painting, suffer from poor health and disabilities, etc.

Babies are no photographic trophies - so stop sharing these pictures! 

b) Have you ever though that all these pictures of semi-naked children could be the apple of the eye of paedophiles? Every time you share these pictures on facebook, the paedos rejoice! In fact, in my opinion, more and more people get sexually attracted to kids simply because the media show way too many semi-naked kids.

Would you share a semi-naked picture of your kid on your social media? Then why would you share a semi-naked picture of other kids? Don't you CARE about other people's kids the way you care about your kid?
