[LINK] Internet Censorship for Child Protection!

[Leah Manta]

Now lets see, if we censor the internet so that ch8ld abuse and child 
sexual abuse is unable to be downloaded, that also means it will not 
be uploaded - right?

So in that case an entire team of Police and Investigators can be 
made redundant cause there will be no need to investigate into stupid 
cases like this!

Pray do tell, how is THIS Child Abuse?  Are we to stop 8 month to 5 
year olds climbing on playground equipment, climbing trees and 
climbing on rocks at the beach because if they get an injury it's child abuse?

No really, with aceptable case law like Wagon Mound #2 in play, a 
parent who does not do something to prevent a preventable injury - 
regardless of whether the activity is beneficial to a child's 
development anyway - would be guilty of child abuse.

In fact, technically speaking a Mother is Gyilty of Child Abuse at 
the birth of a child unless the child is born by c-section because 
the brain of the child is incredibly squashed in order to get out of mum!

Doctors would be guilty of child abuse for using forceps and suction 
to 'encourage' the baby out too!

Everyone who drives a car by this notion alone is guilty of murder, 
on the off chance they might hit someone or have an accident causing 
death.  The Criminal Code already provides that a person is guilty 
of  a crime eve if they haven't executed the crime itself and even if 
its not possible for the person to execute the crime.  The onus of 
proof lays on the Defendant, not the Prosecution.  No really, go read it!

Swinging a child in play is NOT child abuse unless there is intent to 
cause the child harm.  Hello Austraia - WAKE UP.

A man charged over a video of another man swinging a baby around like 
a rag doll, says he'd be happy with a trial by jury.

Christopher Charles Illingworth, 60, of Maroochydore, briefly 
appeared in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Thursday charged with 
two counts of using a carriage service to transmit child abuse material.

His lawyer Chelsea Emery told the court the matter would be 
strenuously defended.

The case was adjourned to February 19, 2009, to allow the prosecution 
to gather more evidence.

The freelance journalist and father of four allegedly shared the 
video using the website Liveleak, a site similar to YouTube but 
mainly carrying short videos relating to news and current affairs.

Illingworth's home was raided in November by police officers from 
Taskforce Argos, which targets child pornography and abuse.

Illingworth was not involved in making the three-minute video, which 
is understood to have originally been uploaded by a Russian circus performer.

It features a man in a lounge room swinging what is believed to be a 
nine-month-old baby boy.

Illingworth said outside court he would defend the charges.

"My name and health has been damaged - I'm going to do something 
about this," he said.

"If anything, I want this to go to trial by jury - 12 adults, 12 
parents are going to see the stupidity of this.

"Bring it on, bring it on with all your might."

He said supporters had raised around $500,000 to cover his legal costs.

Ms Emery said outside court the case had wide implications for all 
internet users.

"I've not heard of anyone being charged with anything similar to this 
before," she said.

"It's a very unusual case - it potentially presents enormous 
difficulties for internet users."
