    One thing that would help is to strictly define Child Porn so that fathers/mothers/guardians of children can take pictures of Stuff without getting tagged for CP.

    a suggestion a given image is to be considered Child Porn if

    1 it has no clinical ,artistic or historical value
    OR
    2 the subject of the picture is completely Nude (to include pics with trivial clothing and exclude bathing pictures)

    AND/OR One or more of
    1 The subject is engaging in sexual activity or being used as a prop/toy for sexual activity
    2 The subject is being otherwise abused

    add the clause that Created or Fictional Children are also covered in the same way and things should be set correctly
