I disagree. Posing children in provocative ways influences the way they see themselves. It makes them believe that appearing seductive is normal. Even with all of the awareness of predation we have, a child's self image can either help them become independent and creative or, on the other hand, make them vulnerable to predation. Further, once they hit puberty, it can lead to eating disorders, because they no longer have the svelte figures they had when sexualized at such a young age. Children do have sexual feelings which should be handled in a healthy way.

For most people, we don't want to see a young teen that way, even if it's in the middle ground of sexual and not sexual. Any hint of seductiveness in a photo of a child makes most people uncomfortable and it should. Plus, he put these photos on the internet where there are pedophiles. In that regard, I think one should be even more careful how they make a child appear.
