A young man got arrested for possession of child porn. A 12 year boy old masturbating. It is his own video he recorded himself when he was 12 years old. Mandatory minimum jail sentence: 2 years. 

Think hard: maybe you took some indecend photos of yourself or your family album contans nunde photos mom took when you were a toddler.  Burn them whild you still are out of jail!

 Human-Stupidity.com Analysis

1. This is one of the extreme cases of the child porn witch hunt.
   1. Totally uselessly causing trauma in innocent people,
   2. huge expenses in legal fees,
   3. bogging up police and law enforcement capacity for nonsensical persecution
2. Of course, the child porn prosecutions are meant to protect an innocent child "victim" from abuse. So 25 year old John Doe gets jailed to protect 12 year old John Doe from abusing himself? Or 12 year old John Doe gets protected from being re-victimized when 25 year old John Doe watches his own movie? Or 25 year old John Doe might have totally forgotten his old movie and not have watched it for a decade. Still, he needs to be jailed to be protected from victimization!? And of course, as a child abuser, he will most likely be raped in prison. How far has our logic and our legal system sunk.
3. Most normal people would agree that this is excessive zeal. Of course, then the question arises: where should the limit be drawn?
• what kind of child porn should be punished?
• should possession of depictions of legal acts really be punished? 
• Should people be punished for a video of child sexual activity that by all definitions was not abuse?
• And does the possession of computer files, that are nothing but 0′s and 1′s really get people into jail for years? The USA has a tradition of freedom of expression that are getting more encroached upon. Human Stupidity analyzes this on other posts.
• "Sticks and stones may break my bones (but words will never hurt me)".  Should we not, in analogy, say: Sexual abuse may hurt me, but 0′s and 1′s in computer files will never hurt me. All this trauma could be avoided by scrapping all laws for possession. Punish abusers, not people who possess the photos.
• Almost all so called “child porn” in reality is “adolescent nudity” or consensual “sexual activities” of sexually active teenagers. We are not not aware of any deaths due to child porn production. Most child porn is totally harmless, like adolescents taking their own photos, or formerly legal 16 year old sex films made legally in Holland 30 years ago.
• On the other hand there was a death in the production of the following documentary:  Beating Death Of Derrion Albert,16,Caught On Video as described in Nude adolescent photos: a Crime. Videos of lynching, killing, beating adolescents are legal Prime Time TV. Possession, production, and distributions are perfectly legal.
4. I wish to get confirmation of this story from a reputable news agency or newspaper, instead of a hearsay report.  But even if it were untrue, it could happen. It rings true. Similar things have happened, 15 year old girls get traumatized with sexting charges for harmless nude photos. So prosecuting an adult for the movies he took of himself 15 years ago, looks convincing and true

Some commentators at reddit remarked that he is stupid for still being with that girl. But by conventional wisdom she acted correctly. She found heinous child porn of a 12 year old masturbating and reported it to police.
