ammo answered Tuesday May 26 2015, 12:53 am: Hello.
I have contacted the IWF (Internet Watch Foundation) with the information you have provided and am waiting to hear back from them in regards to this to see if they are able to deal with this or if it needs to be passed onto someone else i.e. the police.
Please note that in future if you do come across anything like this don't be afraid to report it. It's not your fault if you went to a web site by accident thinking it would be one thing and it turns out to be another (it's something that has happen to me many times). You can do a Google search for places to report web sites and you will find there are many places that can help. Don't be afraid to help out by reporting - you will be helping preventing the exploitation and abuse of innocent kids. The fact you came forward with this information you have is a very positive thing and hopefully others will also be able to do the same instead of just turning a blind eye.

Here is the important thing to recognize however: Although this was very uncomfortable for you to see, it is not unusual, and law enforcement tends to focus their efforts on very young children - 14 and under really - because those children are in the greatest danger when they are forced to participate in pornography.
Older teenagers - who are often willingly participating in pornography - are generally not a focus of law enforcement efforts. By all means you can still report images of older teenagers, but those usually aren't the cases that cause the greatest concern. Also, many legal adults are called 'teens' even though they are plenty old enough to be participating in porn legally - it's a sales pitch, not the truth about their ages.
Finally, I think you may be a bit confused. One of the pages you posted is a group of photos of Amanda Tate. She's a 24 year old porn star. Those pictures aren't child porn by any definition. What she is doing is perfectly legal. Some of the other links involved here are likely porn that was created within the bounds of the law. You may be too young to see those photos and/or not want to see them, but porn itself is not always illegal. Porn featuring consenting adults is allowed to exist, and be online, but it is supposed to be clearly labeled and easy for young people like yourself to avoid.
