The sex-obsessed, drug-heavy MTV show "Skins" is under fire from a very powerful parents org. that's now calling for a federal investigation into potential child pornography violations ... TMZ has learned.
The Parents Television Council has fired off a letter to the U.S Department of Justice AND the U.S. Senate and House Judiciary Committees ... over concerns the show uses underage actors in graphic sexual situations.
The organization explains, "In addition to the sexual content on the show involving cast members as young as 15, PTC counted 42 depictions and references to drugs and alcohol in the premiere episode."
The group adds, "It is clear that Viacom has knowingly produced material that may well be in violation of [several anti-child pornography laws].
Earlier this week, the New York Times reported that MTV execs have already met to discuss the issue.
So far, no comment from MTV.

Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban -- New Parents!
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have a new baby, courtesy of a surrogate ... TMZ has learned.
Sources tell us ... the baby was born at Centennial Medical Center in Nashville on December 28, 2010. Her name is Faith.
Kidman and Urban are Faith's biological parents.
We're told Nicole and Keith went into the hospital on the down low last week, visiting Faith and the surrogate during her stay. They entered the hospital through the back, took the service elevator to the top floor, which they rented exclusively for themselves.
We're told the baby is home.
Yes, Nicole and Keith were both at the Golden Globes last night.
UPDATE: Keith and Nicole just released a statement to TMZ saying, "Our family is truly blessed, and just so thankful, to have been given the gift of baby Faith Margaret. No words can adequately convey the incredible gratitude that we feel for everyone who was so supportive throughout this process, in particular our gestational carrier."
