Take your meds, you fucking idiot.
First off, do you realize that for the police and media, anyone will be referred to as a kid up to the second before they turn 18? "Sex acts with kids" can refer to a 50 year old raping his 2 year old stepdaughter, or a 19 year old having sex with his 17 year old girlfriend.
Obviously, the two are rather different. In the press release, though, they will both be referred to as "sex acts with children".
That's why it's so fucking stupid to demand high minimum sentences without knowing the details. With a 10 year minimum sentence, the people who download a homemade video of a 17 year old girl giving head to her 18 year old boyfriend without even knowing the girl is 3 months younger than the law allows will also get that minimum sentence.
Likewise, the person who stumbles upon some of the really bad stuff, thinks "what the hell?!", and clicks it in disbelief - in the same way that people might look at trainwrecks, car wrecks, 2girls1cup, etc.
Likewise, the person who downloads all files labeled "teen porn" or whatever on emule or limewire or whatever it is they use these days, and finds out that, in fact, "teen" also covers "thirteen".
Those are not technicalities. None of the people I mentioned should spend 10 years in prison.
And guess what? There's a good chance that some of the examples I just gave will turn out to be the case for some of the people arrested in these raids.
To summarize: demanding specific punishments without knowing the specific details of each case is very fucking dumb.
Idiots just like you tend to wreck lives by screwing up the legal system with insanely broad laws that end up harming the wrong people.
