This is a really interesting story that has been making it's rounds online.

A photographer father went on a road trip with his daughter, and decided to document it in photos. Because she is a two-year old, some of the photos are of her naked. They are not sexual, they are just a two year old running around naked, as little kids sometimes do. However when he posted them online, several massive groups accused him of pedophilia, making child porn, and had his instagram shut down.
In response, he created a gallery show titled I Feel Sorry For Your Children: The Sexualization of Innocence in America combining the photos with what people online have said about them.
What's more interesting is that every news outlet covering this story has included the photos. If they truly believed these were child porn, they would not risk showing them.
What a strange age we're living in where the news feels comfortable showing accused child porn, but not comfortable reporting the negative actions of adult women.
If you want to see the photos, and hear the dad speak on camera, watch this really well-put together short documentary here. I recommend checking it out. The dad seems very well spoken and like a genuinely talented artist.
