OneForAll Yes, in many cases one does know it when they see it, but turning that into a legal definition is difficult.

I did read the article, and please read my post at 09:00 AM JST - 10th June. I agree that, provided the police did their job correctly, then…

The quote does not say that we cannot discern the truth and speak it

OneForAll, if you can "discern the truth and speak it" from the scant information provided in this article, then you are surely approaching omnipotence yourself.

You are making judgements against this woman, and posters like myself…

if this woman is prepared to take these pictures of her two year old and sell them to these perverts, then where does she draw the line?

Point taken. Of course we don't know what is best. Maybe she is evil. Maybe she is just really dumb and deserves a…

I didn't mean to single out your post. My post, however badly worded it may be, is a criticism of the general vibe of this thread, which seems to be "damn the woman to hell, regardless of the facts. Anyone who suggests otherwise is a supporter of child porn."…

I don't know what is more shocking, that this woman stopped so low, or that there are people on here even remotely trying to justify her actions.

Please don't confuse "justify" with "trying to understand the situation".

Rather than just simply join a lynch mob and crucify the person based…

I think we are all jumping to conclusions here, as we don't really know what the "porn photos" are of. "Porn photos" conjures up all sorts of sick scenarios, but maybe the mother's photos were not as hard-core as our vivid imaginations are suggesting.

Is the child being forced into…

Molenir I understand your point, but I am presuming that "porn photos" in this case constitutes more than just the woman taking photos of her daughter in the bath or romping around naked in the living room holding her favourite soft toy. If that is considered child porn, then most…

Japan on Friday welcomed the news it had topped the world longevity ratings

Surely this is the last thing the government wants. If most people dropped off at 70-75, most, if not all their worries about the sustainability of the pension scheme would be solved.
