Sheesh. A teachers' union has called for a ban on mobile phone cameras in schools, amid fears that the images could be used by paedophiles. The SSTA press release. This is just crazy. Follow this logic and we incarcarate all children in prison camps for the whole of their adolescent lives, only releasing them to the sun and the outside world when they turn eighteen. Picture phones supposedly lead to an unacceptible danger of paedophiles using them to get their rocks off, though from what I've seen of them the paedo would have to get within a few feet of kids to actually take a decent picture, one would hope there was a teacher around who would notice such a thing going on. This is like the suggestion that video cameras should be banned from school assemblies and christmas plays in case the tapes got passed on to paedophiles. Has research been done on whether paedophiles find a kid dressed up as Joseph sexually stimulating? As far as I was aware, being a paedophile does not mean you find ALL children sexually arousing, just as being heterosexual means you find ALL MOTOS devastatingly attractive.
