Famous Magazine Vogue has a Brazilian "kids" fashion edition once a year. Fully dressed children’s photos can be child porn (See copine scale), which according to the Voodoo theory of child pornography scars children for life each time someone looks at the picture.
"Vogue Kids" Magazine Accused of Publishing Sexualized Images of Children
"Vogue Kids" magazine, distributed this month with "Vogue", was criticized on social networks and accused by an institute for publishing photos of underage girls in sexy poses, dressed in a bikini. In some images, they are lying down with their legs open.
Complaints about the "Shade and Fresh Water" photo shoot spread in social networks sites and found their way, on Thursday (11), to state and federal prosecutors as well as the Federal Police. The agencies will evaluate the case.
A court issued an injunction demanding the distribution of the magazine issue to be stopped and already sold issues to be collected. (links follow below, after trigger warning)
"These are girls in sexy poses and [there is] a clear premature sexualization of these children," says psychologist Lais Fontenelle, which is part of the entity.
To the psychologist, the girls are doing clothing ads, which is vetoed by Conanda (National Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescents), linked to the Secretariat of Human Rights of the Presidency.
This year’s agency resolution prohibits advertisement targeted to children. Folha de São Paulo
The photos in question could be Copine scale level 5: "Deliberately posed pictures of fully, partially clothed or naked children in sexualised or provocative poses."
Senators demand punishment: "They want to call the parents of the children that were photographed, and punishment of all involved. Aruda agrees with the colleague and says that the country urgently needs to fight child abuse. Public prosecutors must hold responsible the company’s executives for this crime. The magazine abused children, notwithstanding parental consent. We can not allow our children to make sensual poses in magazines that seek only economic exploitation.
After the shock from looking at this clearly sexualized photo of the cover, be prepared: the photos inside are worse. We will not show them here, you may look at the photos, from major Brazilian newspapers or in a Google search, at your own risk

"Often when we think of pedophilia, we imagine a guy hiding behind the computer. But we do not speak of a pedophile culture in which children’s image is exploited in a sexualized way", says Renata.
Attorney Ana Lucia Keunecke, from Artemis (entity that defends woman’s rights), says the photos violate articles of the Child and Adolescent Statute.
"These girls are clearly placed in a vulnerable situation. It hurts the character of these children even if the test photo shoot had their parental permission," he explains.
The family lawyer Danilo Montemurro says that prosecutors could go to court with a civil action to determine collecting the magazines and imposing a fine.
Also according to him, the parents may become defendants for having authorized the photos. "Besides the sexualized exposure, these children were exposed as adults. This violates Article 17 of the ECA, which preserves the right of a minor’s identity," he says. Folha de São Paulo
we are becoming just like the Talibans. recently was a fuss around here because some teens protested against their school who want forbids shorts “because it was too sexy”. we are in a society full of hipersexualization brought by advertise. we see things as sexy because we are healthy persons, with normal sexual urges.
A pedophile could find any image of a child sexually exciting, so they need to ban all images of children I guess. That does seem to be their ultimate goal.
Not all men find bikinis or swimsuits to be the most sexually exciting outfit. Some men prefer skirts, some prefer jeans. Some men, believe it or not, have a sexual fetish for burkas. ANYTHING could be potentially arousing to someone. What is considered sexual is not based on objective, scientific fact. It is all in the eye of the beholder and preferences differ wildly.
“ban all images of children” seems to be the way. Especially if children, quite innocently pose in ways they see adults’ poses. The child sex trauma myth exactly is caused by the child sex and child porn panic.
Imagine these children having their parents cited by police or punished by the courts, the Vogue issue prohibited and potentially ripped out of their hands to be destroyed. What a trauma. And how hard for these children to understand the insane laws of the adults.
Hmmm….I must be missing something here because nothing about the descriptions of these images or what photos are searchable hints at anything remotely sensual. Granted I am not attracted to prepubescent youths and don’t hold sexual biases (thanks to my lack of experience), so what do I know? That being said this is one more example of people wanting to sexualize something for the sole purpose of targeting “predators” because they aren’t smart enough to figure out another way to resolve whatever problems exist.
Are these photos sensual or sexual? Maybe if someone has the perverse frame of mind to see the images from that extremely narrow perspective.
Human-Stupidity worries about the stupidity of child pornography laws. Selfies of 17 year olds seem worse crimes then highway robberies.
The concern about exciting perverts is counter-productive. As
Milton Diamond has conclusively proven, CP photos are used for masturbation and thus take the edge off the sex drive of pedophiles and actually reduce sex crimes with children. Similarly, pornography reduces rape and sex crimes with adults.
