Use encryption

I'd hope the punishment is more severe in that case!

It's a tricky issue. In many countries it's not illegal and quite common for children to run around naked in public, during the summer on beaches for example, and so millions of people have holiday photos that are technically CSAM in their possession that they don't even know they have.
CSAM must be for sexual gratification usually. A medical anatomy textbook isn't CSAM.
And now you're in court strenuously arguing that you weren't sexually gratified by the photo of your kid in the tub.
Obviously most people are sensible most of the time but sometimes they are not.
