i think zed was questioning
"anti-child sexual exploitation group"
vs.
"anti child-sexual exploitation group"
(or even "anti-child-sexual-exploitation group")
the first sounds like its sexual exploitation group that is in opposition to children, the second, a group that is in opposition to children's sexual exploitation.
somewhat different meanings, eh?
