Not the only one. At the same time, they announced a separate scanner for incoming inappropriate photos over iMessage as a parental control feature. Unlike the photo library scanner, this one actually got released. https://www.apple.com/child-safety/

That feature did not report users to the police. It did notify parents automatically, however, if you were a child in a family account. After some feedback from child protection advocates they removed the mandatory parental notification and made it a button that the child has to press.

The police report was the wackiest part of the other feature, yeah.
