Can we just criminalise possession of photos, art, or AI art depicting children in sexual situations and teach kids that this is unacceptable behaviour?
At the very least, the boy who made the images should be made to register as a sex offender, and everyone who had the images (whether they shared them or not) should have their phones confiscated and either destroyed, or wiped and given to charity. Preferably to a battered women’s shelter. They should all stand as an example to their peers to teach the school that possessing sexual images of minors (even faked by AI) is not acceptable and they will lose their phones. Any parent who tries to retaliate should be referred to the police — with proof of what their kid(s) had on their phone. So either “take the lesson and walk away, or face potential CSAM-related charges.” I think most parents would opt for the former.
In Switzerland, where I’m from, possession of such material is both criminalised and you’re also taught in school that you need to immediately call the police and delete the photos if you receive them and don’t want major trouble. It seems to me like it’s working pretty well, as I only ever see news of underage people being sexualised in the USA, even though I try to avoid negative news from there as much as possible.
If only the law had a way of handling juveniles. It’s too bad nobody bothered to deal with that entire subset of criminals. We’ve only had a few centuries… Ah well, write your congressman. /s
Everyone at some point wished to “be with” the prettiest girl or most handsome boy in class or the teacher or friend. We just didn’t have AI in school back in our day. Looks like its a bad idea, so we should just not give AI to kids. No phone or AI until you’re 18.

Who decides if it’s a sexual situation or what that means?
There’s a test that the courts have, actually. Stewart’s test for obscenity, or basically, “I know it when I see it.”
It’s not a perfect test, there’s lots of edge cases where it fails, but it’s not nothing. It’d definitely work in this case.

Anime is immediately illegal
They dont HAVE to draw sexualized children so maybe if it was banned they’d shift away from that.
I already supported CerebralHawks’s idea, you don’t have to sell it to me
Good
Woah there. As shit of a thing he did, he himself is child. Don’t ruin his life over it.
Yes. Ruin the victim’s life instead.
Grow up and use your brain and realize that you can handle this without doing either of those things
And yet, oddly enough, that’s not what actually happens in most cases of sexual assault.
There’s a reason why women don’t report rapes.
