Rejected petition Enforce the term 'adolescent abuse' instead of 'Teen Porn'
It is commonly known that 'teen porn' is a gateway to offending behaviour with children. Adults who are sexually attracted to adolescents view 'teen pornography' as a 'safe' way to indulge in their fantasies. However, teenagers aren't adults and shouldn't have public sexualised behaviour normalised.
