I worked for a large social service organization here in Toronto for 
twenty years and it has been my experience that in the grey areas of 
child welfare legislation, the police have a strong tendency to lay 
charges by default and then let the courts decide innocence. In light of 
this, I'd like to know what my obligations are upon discovery of illicit 
content and the best way to proceed. I don't want to find myself dancing 
in a minefield through inaction or ignorance of the law, if a little 
research will help me avoid it.

I don't think that people that delve into child porn are necessarily a 
bright lot and yes, they very well might take a computer ( that contains 
this crap) in for repair.
