Where was the failure? Oh boy.
1) The parent. Yes, yes, it's been said, but it is ultimately the responsibility of the parent to raise a child to be a good and responsible person, which includes not throwing up underage nudie pics of yourself. Not only that, but restricting access to things until you know the child can be responsible with such things is very important. There's a reason you don't let your 12 year old drive your new Porsche.
2) The host. If you have an adult website and you're not doing everything you can to ensure that the subjects of your site are legal, you belong in jail. Choosing to not question or require proof of the age of the subjects make it clear your only concern is money and you don't give a shit about exploiting children.
3) The watcher. If you see underage pornography, report it! the ICAC (internet crimes against children) has representation all over the US in many police stations. Send the site to the police and say "Does she look 18?" You can even do it anonymously.
4) The most important: the child. The child has failed her (or even him)self b y posting these pictures.
