Anyone else seen those websites? The "Christina child super model" pages, with galleries full of pictures of half naked little girls?
They are supposedly "real" sites that the parents of these girls have set up because they want their children to get into modelling. The galleries include images of the girls striking sexual poses, wearing bikinis and thongs, and playing in water etc.
I typed in "Child super models" to yahoo, looking for links on a certain model (I can't remember her name maybe someone here knows? She's 13 or 14, african american, very tall, and did a campaign for Marc Jacobs) and wound up with links to this other bunk.
It scares me that there are people out there willing to put pictures like that of their own children up for "tuition" money for the future, or to start a "career" for their children.

Trust me... Do NOT look through the rest of that site, I think I'm fucking scarred now. Wronkled bedsheets and kiddie porn... Awesome.
Too late, curiousity makes you look even though you know you're not going to like it. I feel sick now. The parents, photographers and members should all be shot, its vile. Apparently legal though, fucked up.
Oh, but it's not technically kiddie porn, not at all. There have been numerous requests to yahoo and google to remove this stuff but they can't because it's not violating any laws.

Ugh, I know... Just think how that little girl (and all the others) are going to turn out when they're older? Christ, I hope Child Services can do something and get them out of there soon, before they're perma-fucked.
wow. that's not cool. i wonder what those children will think of these photos when they look back on them,in about 10 years. i wonder if the parents are 'living their dream' through their children at all by doing this?...It's very sad, I definitely wouldn't like to see one of my cousins or nieces doing this, it's sickening.

I can't believe I looked at the previews. I can't believe they can't be turned in unless they are not an American website. This is obviously not a modeling website at all. It's for pedifiles. I only cringe to think what is on the "members" section.

Going by the name, I would pretty much guarantee that these kids are not American. They're very likely from an eastern European country where the laws are much more lax - that's where most of this stuff comes from. (Coincidentally, it's also where a huge number of fashion and glamour models come from now, too...hmmm.)

Typically, and laws vary by state and municipality within a state, it takes photography+eroticism to equal a violation of law. There are nudism sites on the Internet that have children and adults of all ages fully nude - but there is no erotic content (or erotic intent) so it is legal. On the other hand, these images with an underage girl would, I think, be prosecutable anywhere because the poses are VERY erotic in nature.
In my state, you can be prosecuted if you so much as have an underage girl in long jean pants in an erotic pose with her crotch area showing - EVEN THOUGH she is fully covered by jeans material. At least that is what the local sheriff and district attorney have agreed upon, publicly.
I think our conservatives here go TOO far in the wrong direction and have made photographers here too paranoid to even consider working with teen girls at all. There has to be a way to sanely balance the issues involved. After all, almost ALL modeling involves making those people photographed (male or female) look attractive and sexy. Isn't that what modeling is all about? Otherwise we're talking Sears-style family portraiture, after all!
But yeah, websites such as the one given portraying underage girls in a highly erotic manner are pretty lame. If merely intended for providing tuition for college down the road, at least do the web site in an authentic, model-style way, not in the way a porn site would!

This topic has been posted about a few times in the past. As disgusting as you might find it, there isn't anything illegal, and/or it's hosted outside of the USA. I would not click on the link! You are helping promote the site(s) by posting a link to it.
These child model sites have been made popular a few years ago by people like Oprah Winfrey speaking out against them! Everyone looked at "Cindy's" website after Oprah had her, and her mom on the show! It's like a train wreck, we all have to look!
Let's remove the link and let this one die .... before it gets locked?
