People who commit crimes like this are some of the worst in the world and I am truly sorry that happened to you. As I stated, I personally think that reporting it is an absolute necessity and something that should be written into your sites policy and prominently displayed. Just to reiterate though, the issue isn't whether child porn is wrong it is how to properly identify it. If you are going to accuse someone of being a paedophile and give their information to the FBI it is important you are correct.
And I'm sure parents of murdered or otherwise killed children would be offended by reddit's "pictures of dead kids". Yet it's not illegal to share such images.
As the victim of child molestation; this absolutely needs to be reported. Saying anything else is sympathy for the lowest filth in existence.
