Child pornography is against the law. It is also, I believe, a concern of
many parents. As the father of 4 young daughters, I can tell you it is a
concern of mine. I is my opinion that the HWG should acknowledge that this
threat is real and does indeed occur on the Internet. I believe that the HWG
would be doing a great public service to offer information to concerned
parents about how they can protect their children from child pornography.
