erotic poses on little kids is some sick toejam. There are some artsy-fartsy types of naked kids pix that are considered artistic by some (playing on the beach or innocent stuff like that), but playboy type poses with children and sexual overtones is certainly not art IMO.
The problem is, the stuff is catered to pedophiles. For example, a friend of mine is a photographer. She has hundreds of photos around her house. One of which is her two daughters standing outside naked, muddy, and hosing each other down. They look to be about 8 or 9, and when taken in context, the picture is really cute. It was something they did on their own, and she "captured the moment".
Put that stuff online, and it's a pedophiles dream. And that's just the true "art". Now, people recreate those moments, label it as art, and market it.
