I'm not actually convinced there is any damage.
Dunno, around where I lived, every kid in school knew what sex is by the age of 10-12, boys probably had found porn magazines in the woods, and would've been excited if some older lady with actual boobs sent them nudes through a computer.
I think parents are way more shocked and traumatized than their kids are.

But perhaps those severe cases also had severe psychological and/or physical abuse or neglect. The sexual aspect gets adults all angry but those other things are extremely common and usually perfectly legal while also ruining people's lives.
