I can't agree more with Mike.
Majority of people (iguess more than 99%) are looking at nude kids  pictures
as cute or funny picture, which will be used maybe  for teasing our kids
later when he/she grow up.  Just remember how often parents snipping kids
nude picture in the wedding party just to make everybidy laugh.
