Quoted:
If possessing nude pictures of yourself is a crime...I'm sure every American in this country is a criminal....because I'm sure most everyone still has baby pictures somewhere? Girl should have a talking-to but she's not a sex offender. But also, child porn is bad stuff. Definitely. Now, if she was coerced into porn shoots by an adult then I say draw and quarter the sonofabitch behind the lens, but this is clearly different. |

Ban cell phones for under 18. Riiiight...because heaven forbid 13-17 year olds that go out and do things and at 16 have cars have emergencies and need to use phones for a legitimate purpose? Because they never managed before cellphones existed, riiiight? I mean, just look at the reduction (since cellphones arrived) in the number of 13 to 17 year olds dying on the side of the road because their car broke down, or they were late to be picked up as previously arranged, or they got kidnapped a the mall. Oh wait.... <sarcasm> |

What is worse is there are people who see no issue with this cause its 'child porn'. Well, I'm with you on most of it except..... Private collections of photos are all well and good - "privacy of your own home" kinda thing. However, when you cross the line into public distribution of said photos, then it's another story. Still pictures of herself, done entirely of her own free will. Yes I agree that the argument changes some when its posted on the web for the entire world to see. However, the charges they are pressing do not fit the crime. Any charge would not fit the 'crime'. The girl should have to take it up with her parents, and nothing more. |

Play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.... No wait... it should be Play adult games, win adult consequences. |

The flaw in your logic being that if you want to treat them entirely like adults,then they aren't doing anything illegal
|

I'm sorry, but if their is no victim or obvious potential victim, there should be no crime.

You'd see a lot more computers being thrown out of windows if you hit the "responsible" parents in the pocketbook. After all, the parents are responsible for other property crimes when their child is a minor. |

Quoted: Give her something constructive to do with her time, community service and what not. Take away her cell phone and computer access. But a registered sex offender? Ruin the rest of her life because she made a stupid kid mistake? How many members of this site had sex with someone in high school while both parties were underage? That would make a large portion of this site sex offenders by the logic presented in this thread. So, any sex offenders out there? Guilty as charged with multiple offenses. (statute of limitations has expired) This zero tolerance, mandatory sentence crap is just that, crap! That's the job of a Judge. Not the holier than thou citizens. The human condition is no longer a factor and that's wrong. Think not? Wait till it's your kid! |

so if a kid plays with themselves do they get charged with sex with a minor?

If you tried the kid as an adult, there would be no crime, because taking pictures of yourself nude is perfectly legal. You are wanting both in this case (using the kid aspect to form the crime, then charge her as an adult). Can't have it that way. |

I've defied my parents plenty of times (surprised I didn't end up in jail in my teen years). Yeah, I agree with "teens do stupid crap". Someone else stated that it's "setting precedent" It's not really. If you went around doing crazy stuff and did damage then your parents had to pony up and pay the fines and/or property damage for it. All I'm saying is just because the technology is a bit different, the same parental responsiblity is in order. Of COURSE teens can find a "work-around". I'll bet though that the said girl would think twice about going over to a friends house and using their equipment to upload the pictures. She isn't going into the library, stripping down in the lobby and uploading. I'm just saying that the technology exists to secure a home computer so that this doesn't happen. No, what happens is they put a computer in their kids room with unfettered access to the internet. We talk about guns all the time. How many here would give a loaded pistol to their 14 year old daughter with no constraints at all? These "weapons of technology" can be just as deadly. |

Blaming pop culture is nonsense. I didn't say pop culture was the sole blame... I said it certainly has an influence. Look at the rap culture.... then look at the number of youths that dress and act it. When I traveled to Japan and Taiwan, the rap/hiphop culture was there too. I was watching Chinese and Japanese kids walking around like they had a limp with their pants leg half up, as if they were expecting a flood to arrive. Look at the number of white kids acting all big and bad with their hats turned cockeyed. You mean to tell me that pop culture doesn't influence? I think it influences bad behavior.... and the parents/family/friends certainly add to it when they don't take responsibility for their actions (or lack of). While I was shopping at Publix (nice part of town). I watched a white 10yo(+/-) kid cussing up a huge storm in front of his mother. He had the baggy clothes, the hat turned cockeyed, silver chain, and had an attitude of hell. Manager had to kick him and his mother out of the store. The mother was a pacifistic, so she didn't argue too much nor bothered to smack her own child. I can sum up that the rap culture of Cop killing, drug using, gang fighting, attitude throwing, "ho" bashing helped influence that kid... because I highly doubt it was country music that did it. |

The idea the teenagers should be treated the same as prepubescent children is dangerous and outdated.

Parents of these children need consequences as well! I don't understand why a young girl would be so inclined to do such a thing, or better yet, why a parent wouldn't have constraints in place to prevent this from happening. Parents far too often allow their children to run around and act like assholes with little or any supervision, and this is what you get!

Nice to see they are going to start treating this fairly regardless of the gender of the culprit. Getting tired of just seeing boys go down for this crime when it all started with the girl.

The crime is If anyone of us recieves that in a message to our phone without our knowing who or where it came from we can be charged with the crime.. Those laws are wrong also... what happened to innocent until PROVEN guilty.. Now we have to prove our innocence.. Accuse your neighbor of something like sexual harrasment. Not charge him with it.. Just accuse them of it.. If I remember correctly there is a quote that goes something like this.... To control the people all you have to do is make so many laws that is impossible for the people to know which ones they are breaking . Then you can arrest them for anything and they will believe they are in the wrong and will be enslaved..From the communist manefesto??? or by chairman Mao Tse Tung??? My history on quotes is not the best But im sure I read that somewhere....
