Relationship between child pornography and child sexual abuse

Okay kiddo, I'll explain this to you using really simple words. So, there's a type of very bad thing called child pornography. This is when grown-ups take pictures or videos of children without clothes on, or doing sex things that kids should never do. This is always wrong and it's illegal everywhere, because it's not okay to use children in this way.

Now, child sexual abuse is when an adult touches, kisses or does bad things to a child's private parts, or asks them to do these things. This is also very bad and it is illegal, because children are not old enough to understand these things or say no. It can hurt them very much and make them feel very scared or sad.

The problem is that often, people who make and share child pornography are also people who hurt kids in real life by doing sexual things to them. Children who are used in child pornography are often also being sexually abused, because they cannot say no or protect themselves. So, making or sharing child pornography is illegal and very dangerous because it can lead to more children being hurt. That's why it is important to speak up if you see it happening or if someone tries to show it to you.
