I have a question/conundrum..

Was at my parents before and they were
clearing out the attic, we stumbled across the newspaper from when my brother was born in 1994. The paper had a topless girl on page 3 and she was 16! That seemed mad to me so i checked online and apparently the law changed in 2003, so the minimum age had to now be 18.

My question is, are my parents technically in possession of child porn by owning an old copy of a national newspaper? If I had a photo of a topless Polaroid of a 16 year old the police would be at my door surely, what makes it being in a paper ok?

There's quite a lot of 70s and 80s films that have quietly disappeared because of similar issues. Many instances were girls were younger than 16 and playing roles that you would consider dodgy. Jody Foster, then 12, played a 12 yo prostitute in Taxi Driver and won an Oscar. That was produced with some level of welfare standards but probably wouldn't happen today. Other lower budget films had less.
 
You’d think things have progressed but I was reading a third branch of Hooters is opening in the UK now. Salford Quays.

Edit: Actually, I’ve Googled it. Nothing new?
