It has nothing to do with "the children" for me. In my estimation a picture of a dead guy surrounded by other people taking his picture is more pornographic...to me. And I am not afraid of death. I think the issue that you're missing is that we seem to find a naked living body more obscene than images of violence, whether real or not. You don't have to be on a mission to "save the children" to realize that. So basically all you're doing is reiterating the OP in your own way.
Correct me if I'm wrong but no one here has tried to make a case out of "saving the children."
