I'm at work, so I'm not about to open that link. So my disclosure is that I'm making assumptions about the pictures from the descriptions.
Yes, I think that it's entirely possible to have nude pictures not be erotic, even of children. I offer as an example the Vietnam War-era photograph of the young naked Vietnamese girl running down a road with a crowd after being bombed with napalm. There is nothing erotic about that picture. It was widely published and may have won the Pulitzer Prize that year. It is certainly iconic.
There are also Nazi-era photos of nude concentration camp survivors that represent the polar opposite of erotic.
Nude bodies do not necessarily mean "sex". Often they do, and I do acknowledge that in Western Society in the early 21st Century that is the default assumption. Despite that, the artist and the viewer ultimately decide what is and isn't erotic, and onus is on them to make sure that pictures of children does not cross the line.
