Even worse, some parents are volunteering their own children to pornographers, or producing the sex pictures themselves. Last year a Rockford, Ill., social worker was sent to jail for allowing his three foster sons to perform sex acts before a camera for $150 each.

Their daughter Marin ("good strong hair and an I.Q. of about 103") grows up to be a skyjacker and a fugitive Marxist. Her resemblance to Patty Hearst can hardly be coincidental. Charlotte's second husband is also a familiar type out of the recent...
