joint statement of o'brien and spinks.
The WT has stated that viewing child pornography is not considered child abuse.
And whether or not that is true, it may be criminal conduct governed by mandatory reporting compelling wt to report.
How wt handles immorality is church business unless Australian law regulates wt policy.

In the US, in one jurisdiction for example, the way the law is written, child porn is child abuse, and the way the law is written, child means 17 years of age and under.
OC question is very clear, she refers to a minor under the age of puberty, as I understood her question, and who could argue with her is what RO was pointing out. What is misleading about OC's argument is that she only narrows it down in her question but that is not the way laws are always written; wt has a legal duty to comply with mandatory reporting in whatever the law requires and when required wt must report child porn. That is all that matters. According to wt morality, having any immoral thoughts is wrong, let alone wachting any porn, and any person having pedophile feelings -who wants that person around, I would not; wt on the other hand has both a legal duty and a spiritual duty towards the person and everybody else in the wt community. It is a complicated issue for wt.
any economy people here who can explain how this will affect us economy?.
I understand that it results in higher interest rates, but how about property value, etc.
judge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.
imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.
by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.
I couldn't fing the brief.

It is an outrage that children should be raped on camera! I am also outraged about other moral conduct too.

Why does that matter?
Because it does matter .
Is not the law based on our moral codes?
Who's moral code? Wt teaches homosexuality, abortions and pornography minors having sex, is wrong -yet perfectly legal with some exceptions.

morally or legally?
Legally maybe. Morally, some people would be forced to view them for law enforcement, in that case no. IF the viewing contributed to the child abuse then yes. It is unthinkable how someone can get sexual gratification from harming children sexually. I cannot understand that.

The law is the law.
When reporting is compulsory by statute, not reporting is a violation of the related statute.
