You mean like the Pledge of Allegiance from pubic schools?

Child pornography means that an actual child must be either engaged in a sexual act or must be lewdly displayed. Animations or drawings of children, stories and prose featuring supposedly "underage" content is not illegal, in the sense that, since there is no model, there is no crime.

Certain images and depictions might violate local decency laws, but from a federal standpoint, as long as a real child is not used, the subject matter is legal.

However, to clarify BDSM Library's standpoint on this issue: Stories posted to the story site containing "young" characters are fine. However, child pictures, even including the legal ones (anime, tasteful nudes, etc) are not allowed on the forums or the photo library and will be removed and the member posting them will be banned without warning.
