Agree with your s...Hi Anon, thanks for the comment. Agree with your sentiments regarding "pics", I can see how this could be associated with CSA over time if used. <br /><br />From a personal perspective, I would much prefer "Child Abuse Images or Films" - however I have had a lot of replies stating that the media only has a certain number of characters it can use. Pics was an example I was using as it was shorter. <br /><br />This is an example of what I have received (BBC in this case)<br /><br />"Thank you for your email. While we take on board your suggestion that "indecent images" is perhaps a better term for such images, our style is that in headlines - where the number of characters we can use is limited - "child porn" is a widely-understood term and can be used as long as the story itself spells out the nature of the material or offence".<br /><br />"CSA Images" would be great alternative, but only if, as you say, it became a widely recognised term - as things are now most people would not necessarily know what this meant.<br /><br />RBougeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10627962988409870004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864523480310815226.post-73209433987438568292013-06-07T16:10:24.588-07:002013-06-07T16:10:24.588-07:00Hi,

I don't think we want the harmlessness of the word "pics" to become psychologically associated with the words "child abuse"<br /><br />I agree with you about some problems with the term "child porn" but at least "porn" has (I think) negative connotations<br /><br />I like the term "C.S.A. Images" (as used by Elle above) if it could be made widely recognised and mainstream. <br /><br />Perhaps a poet or linguist out there could come up with a snappy and media-friendly abbreviation with suitably negative associations .......... "S.C.U.M. Images" or something like that ??????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864523480310815226.post-46641946540791081562013-06-02T15:34:46.630-07:002013-06-02T15:34:46.630-07:00Nice work!

We can change our own usage, and then change the media, because it makes sense and is the right thing to do. Images of abuse are not child porn and we already use the term "snuff films," not mere "pornography," to describe videos of the sexualized murder of adults. These csa images depict the cruel and deliberate destruction of a human childhood, of his safety and trust.<br /><br />ElleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864523480310815226.post-5499837010160964822013-06-01T07:17:15.277-07:002013-06-01T07:17:15.277-07:00Better, thanks http://www.causes.com/actions/17503...Better, thanks http://www.causes.com/actions/1750315-demand-a-reporting-function-for-child-sexual-abuse-content-on-facebook<br /><br />Blair Corbett, Ark of Hope for ChildrenArk of Hope For Childrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15390475107637937148noreply@blogger.com
