  As a Retired psychotherapist I worked with many abused children and adults over my 20 years of practice but never with a AI child nor AI adult who had been abused.

  I have seen first hand the life long damage caused by the abuses of children whether that be neglect, violence or psychological and sexual abuse.

  By always focusing on the sexual abuses of children there is a tendency in society to overlook the impact of the damage caused to children through neglect, violence and psychological abuse.

  I would rather see the real culprits of online child abuse in the dock and that means the big tech companies who should be doing so much more to protect our children's psychological well being online.

  Ai images are not children nor are they photos of real children.

  you cannot abuse a computer generated image.
