[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 627252, member: 1550"] In the US, you aren't prosecuted for not reporting it. Doesn't work that way. We don't have to report seeing somebody stealing something either. Looking at child porn and getting caught is another issue and I'm not sure what happens. The person who took those pictures would get into HUGE trouble if he could be traced. Not sure about the looker. If you are proven to have touched a child, the book gets thrown at you, even if you are underage. I had a foster/adopted child who was thirteen and touched my six and eight year old and they put him on trial and found him guilty and he had to sign up as a child predator. He went to a child's version of a lock down for young sexual predators and he tried to perp in there too, but the cameras caught him. I digress. We don't have to report anything if we are not doing it. If we are a part of it, then it's different. If it's murder, different. But child porn...(and I deplore it)... They will arrest the person who gets caught looking at child porn, but not the wife who didn't turn him in. Heck, there are people who have SEEN children being abused and don't turn the perpetrator in, often out of fear for their own lives or their children's. Would I turn my child in for this? Most likely, yes. But I don't know what happens legally if somebody is caught looking at child porn. Does anyone know? What happens if a teenager, say, is looking at child porn but has not yet touched a child? Of course, if they are looking they are probably also touching, but it has to be proven...somebody has to bring it to the attention of authorities and many sick pedophiles go years without getting caught.
