This is not always the case as Bob Matthews, an OPP officer of the

anti-pornography unit, has seen a case where a young girl of 18 months

was depicted in child pornography. This child has only lived for a year

wear, makeup, hairstyles, food, and the condoms that were purchased but

never used.9 without using condoms and having to serve between 6 and 10

customers a day, these children are very susceptible to diseases like

HIV and AIDS and are dying as a result. One girl mentioned that she
