France’s top official for child protection has called for checks on people who purchase "childlike" sex dolls online, amid growing outrage over their sale on major e-commerce platforms – including fast-fashion…

Sarah El Haïry, the French government’s High Commissioner for Children, said on Monday that she wanted authorities to investigate whether any children might be at risk in the homes of buyers of what she called “paedocriminal objects”.

“These dolls are training tools for predators – and unfortunately, sometimes the first step before moving on to actual abuse,” she said in an interview with BFMTV.

“When you buy something as vile as this, there’s a heightened risk of acting out. That means children nearby could be in danger, and they must be protected.”

El Haïry urged online platforms to share information about customers who have purchased such dolls, to allow authorities to carry out checks where needed. “We need to follow the chain right through – from suppliers to the men who keep these horrors in their homes, sometimes with children sleeping in the next room,” she said. “Enough is enough. These are not ordinary objects.”

    And what degree do you have that enables you to spit out this gibberish? I hope they shut this platform not only in France but everywhere. Look at the picture, this is insane.

      Is it gibberish, though?

      Yes, to us these dolls are insane and the notion of pedo dolls is disgusting, and so is the notion of AI generated pedo material. Outlawing these seems to be what most people want, and who can blame them. Everything about pedophilia is repulsive.

      But what if these actually reduced the chance for pedos to go after real kids? Isn’t that question worth to be asked, and depending on the answer, wouldn’t choosing the lesser evil be the sensible thing to do?

      I have no idea what the answer is, I have no background in psychology whatsoever, but simple logic dictates that everything that helps protect kids should be considered, even if it’s disgusting in and of itself.

      I’d say your logic is fallacious, but you don’t seem to be relying on logic at all. It’s fine to find things disgusting, but in the end the question that should be asked is “what’s the best way to protect children,” not “what can I do so I don’t have to think about icky things.”
