I agree with you. 'Pictures of child abuse', what does it mean? Well in cases I've seen reported it mostly means violent torture and destruction of a child's, or even a baby's unformed sexual organs and sometimes includes murder, all supervised and filmed by someone who is supposed to be the guardian of the child. Being abused oneself ought to be the biggest incentive to keep away from this kind of stuff. I'm afraid I can't sanction 'innocently viewing some pictures' under any circumstances

although I accept that someone may possibly view pics without fully realising the consequences of their action.

but in this case we are talking about pictures of children being MUTILATED by their guardians or with their guardian's consent. It is beyond my powers of imagination to believe that doing it or watching it being done can ever be innocent.
