The punishments for child porn.

   Should the punishments for child porn be as harsh as they are or should they be even harsher? Should a person who downloads child porn on his computer get as almost as much prison time as the person who creates the images? Should child pornographers get as much or prison time as a murderer or rapist?

     You have to ask your self if the damage created by these images are so grevious that they merit the punishment. Does child porn hurt anyone? The answer is yes. Child porn unquestionably hurts the children involved. These children are exploited, raped, and absued. Most if not all are scarred  by the act and have to live with it for the rest of their lives.  

    Are the people who watch child porn hurt? Most are not in any real sense unless you believe in God then I guess you believe they are going to hell. The problem is that some of these people are not going to stop at just watching child porn, some of them are going to act on their uncontrolable urge. when this happens even more children are hurt and in the process the peole who commit these acts are locked away having ruined not only their lives but also the lives of their victims.

   In the end I believe that the punishment for childpronographers should be as harsh as possible and harsher then then punsihment for people who just view the material. But I also think that the punishment for the people who view the material should be very harsh also because if you can stop one person from acting on their urge to harm children that would have acted had they seen other do it then some good has been done
