Child sex abuse doll torsos and disembodied heads being sold on China's Temu, Shein to get around laws forbidding the importation of sex abuse material

Child sex abuse doll torsos and disembodied heads are being offered for sale on Temu and Shein in what advocates say may be a bid to get around Australian laws.

Campaigners say the products are advertised in parts as hairdressing mannequins and are often described as "adult toys" despite their child-like features.

The Australian Border Force has reported a "disturbing" rise in attempts to import child-like sex dolls, seizing 47 in the past year alone.

Sooner or later they would want the real thing, if they become desensitized to the fake ones

Just like how I started my car jacking career in GTA

Obviously I've always wanted to steal cars but the virtual hit stopped being enough and my preconceived morals were overwhelmed by my digital addiction.
