The problem with this kind of kiddie webcam porn is that the kids are being personally validated at a time when they feel estranged from family due to puberty, sexually titillated at a time when their sexuality is just emerging, and encouraged by their "fans" to do provocative, rebellious things so it doesn't at all feel like exploitation -- it feels like empowerment. (If a kid has an orgasm while they're being raped by an adult, does that make it no longer rape? Of course it's still rape!)

But as a healthy adult, I totally see that the pedophiles are opportunistically manipulating these kids into sexual situations. Pedophiles like to abuse their power to get their sexual needs met. A normal person wouldn't go out to seduce a 13-year old kid.

If kids are going to be sexually active with anybody, it should be with their same-age peers as that is the situation in which there is the least liklihood of abuse of power.
