You better believe when the cops come knocking, the burden of proof to be ethical is wholly on you.
All existing solutions are based on real life images. There's no ethically way to acquire thousand upon thousands of images of naked children to produce anything resembling real.
That's how existing solutions work.
So again, how can it be done ethically?
When the cops come knocking, your best bet is to comply under duress (be clear that it's under duress). Fighting the police will just add more charges, the right place to fight is in the courts. If your country's justice system is corrupt, then I guess you might as well fight the police, but in most developed countries, the courts are much more reasonable than the police.
The burden of proof is on showing that it was done unethically, not that it was done ethically. Force the prosecution to actually do their job, don't just assume someone is guilty because the thing they made looks illegal.
