Hello All,
I need to get some other opinions. Late one hot summers night we were on the beach with my children and my 2 year old stripped off and ran into the water. There was no one else around but I got some beautiful pictures of her while the sun was setting. I had displayed 3 pictures in small square 5x5 and 4x4 frames and two of the pictures are of her naked. One is a silhouette of her running through the water with the sun setting. .not front on or “rude” parts showing. The other is her sitting down facing the water as a wave came in and her bum cheeks are slightly showing. My daughter showed her friends Mum when she came over and she was like “ohhh haha she’s naked” and then I noticed her daughter looking at the pictures the other day. I don’t see them as sexual or explicit, just an innocent moment captured in a beautiful setting. I displayed them because of that. I don’t have men or many people coming to my house, I see it as my sanctuary. Now I am worried that it would be seen as child porn, I’ve taken them down and will leave for their baby albums. I’m having a bit of anxiety now worrying what impression I have made to this other family!
I would like other people’s thoughts. Please don’t call me a child abuser or paedophile.

It’s fine. She probably meant nothing by it.
I’ve got nudie photos of my kids around the house. No actually private’s showing but clearly can tell they are nudie
I had to go back and check her age, thinking she might have been 10 or something.. she was 2, and she doesn't mind, so I think whay you've done sounds perfect. Kept it in your own home, not displaying full nudey kids, it's fine in my opinion .
But now I know there are some people who are absolutely not fine with it, she probably went home and said 'it's there for anyone that goes in the house to see and target the child '
But we don't all live like that and that's okay!!!
Not porn. There would be very few parents who don’t have photos of there own children butt naked in the bath, paddling pool, at the beach or where ever really.
Gosh if it was classed as porn I’d have to lock up my parents and throw away the key and my grandparents and most of the parents who held 21st birthdays for there kids. Cause I’ve seen naked baby version of my friends on every single photo wall.
Personally, I'm not a fan of kids running around in the nude at the beach to start with but that's another topic.
I reckon you've got yourself all in a flap about something that this lady probably hasn't thought twice about, so stop stressing!
Definitely not akin to child porn, although whilst I have loads of nudie pics, they aren't ones I display on the wall - i just think they're private moments, but each to their own in that regard.
That lady honestly wouldn’t have given it a second thought after she left.
It is far from child porn, we all have photos that have nudey bits of our kids when they were young.
You are over thinking it, I did it too and it helps when someone tells me when I am 😀
My dad drew a huge picture of I presume my mum back when.
She was topless.
It was in our lounge room for years.
Other peoples opinions don't matter.
It's a piece of art
I have 3 carvings of artwork that implies naked people.
Way too many judgy people around
Haha, my mum is an artist and I forget that the vast majority of people don’t have nudes around the house. There are nudes everywhere in my parents house and my house. There are loads of me. It isn’t obviously me, and they aren’t in the least bit sexual. Just beautiful paintings.
We have loads of visitors and nobody has left the house in disgust yet. To be honest mostly you forget they are there.
