Police Investigate High School 'Sexting' Incident

[rooket]

[citation][nom]sliem[/nom]So if I RECEIVE a nude pic of 16yr old (regardless of sex), and accidently view it, I'm going to jail -- and not the sender?FUCK YOU (sender and justice system).[/citation]

no, the sender gets punished as well. and if the sender turns 18 and law enforcement find it after they are 18, the punishment is obviously more severe.

Not to discriminate here, but teens + cell phones with cameras = stupid. I've seen what people take pics of themselves doing, it's usually not pretty.

She apparently showed poor judgment, and frankly, I do not see why anyone should be busted for this. She had the phone, she made the choice to send it. Arbitrarily chosen "adult age" aside, this girl was woman enough to sext her guy (way to go!), and her guy was a big enough douche to fwd it to his buddies, who then fwd it to their friends... she had to have known this would happen.

I'm thankful these things didn't exist when I was a teen, but then, back then most people my age didn't feel as though our lives were so important that they needed to be reached 24-7 with imbecilic texts about what we were doing at the moment.

When they are not old and ugly, it's very hard or next to impossible to tell underage tits from non-jailbait tits. So how do you expect them to know!
TIT FOR TAT.

[citation][nom]djackson_dba[/nom]I have studied law and the application of law. If you would like to take exception to my post, please do so with some supporting argument that would indicate your position.From my personal experience, I received a spam picture that contained very offensive child pornography. I contacted the FBI's office for exploited or missing children and reported it. They hunted down the sender. They did not arrest me. If in the course of some other issue, this image had been found on my hard drive, I would have been investigated and possibly arrested. All of this according to the field agent I spoke to.Again, if you have a real argument, please present instead of just tossing an insult like some sullen child.[/citation]
You may have studied law, but that doesn't mean you learned it well, and from your pretentious way of writing (which smart people often tend not to do on forums just to show off) would sort of indicate that you're a poser, a liar, or both. I think it's both.

You still have not put forth a single point to support your argument or diminish mine. You only offer name calling which is childish. Want to attack my argument? Try doing it in a manner befitting an adult... or not. Doesn't bother me either way.

 

[enforcer22]

[citation][nom]o0RaidR0o[/nom]She sent it to her boyfriend whom she thought she could trust. She was just sharing an intimate moment with someone she was intimate with. She is guilty of being young and trusting. Not her fault for his deceptions.[/citation]

She sent it.. its her fault nuff said.


@chainsaw im not going to respond to that book of dribble and bs but come to portland and find me a payphone ffs if i even see one once a month its likely it doesnt even work. btw video cameras on phones dont make kids porn stars how bad of a parent are you ffs that ytou have to take things from your kids to stop them rom doing things wrong instead of being able to actualy teach your kids right and wrong. Seriously people like you shouldnt have kids.

Dude I'm not going to put forth an argument to satisfy your petty superiority complex. I know your kind, we all know your kind... If you were a professional or an academic you wouldn't be placing yourself in a position where you needed people to put forth arguments and counter-arguments. Your "pound of coke" comment gave me a pretty viable picture of your way of thinking, and it's comical. I can't argue against comedy.

This is a discussion forum. It is a place of ideas, arguments and counter arguments. On a side note, I presented this discussion to 3 12 year olds this evening at my home. All 3 were able to conduct themselves without resorting to insults. All 3 were able to discuss point and counter point. It was an enjoyable experience... and they were only 12. Any professional or academic would expect to have a discussion without the name calling associated with young children.

You either have a point or you don't. I stand by mine. A person with knowledge of a crime is bound to report it to the authorities. It is a reasonable expectation that they will not be arrested for doing this. If they do not report it and are later caught with either knowledge or evidence, they may be held as responsible to some degree. You may find this thinking flawed. Feel free to address it with logic or fact.

Congrats on debating this subject with children, surely you enjoyed those kids stroking your ego... Fitting, given the subject matter. Cheers!

 

[welshmousepk]

no one could possibly be breaking a law here, unless the request the picture to be sent to them.

and any person, even a sixteen year old should be able to tacke and send whatever pictures of themselves they like. what happened to america being a land of freedom?

 

[redgarl]

HAHAHA... I hope they all get charged with pedophilia.

[citation][nom]chainsaw667[/nom]OMG people are just fucking dumb. No one remembers what it was like being a teen I guess, hormones raging, logic receding (for those that exercise logic) lack of sleep oh yeah and lets not forget sexual frustration like you never feel again. People just want the kids to be precious innocent little angels till they turn 18 and they magically become adults with all the rights therein. Well we all do not mature at the same rates, children now days are maturing faster than any youths ever in history, but we will not recognize that, they must remain pure and sexless till they are full fledged adults of 35.This attitude of purism in teens is why the teen pregnancy and teen aids rates are so high, instead of teaching sexual safety the schools teach that condoms are like Russian roulette and abstinence is the only way to protect yourself. Instead of enacting a real world approach we opt for fantastical ineffective methods like abstinence or religion, and we call the teens immature.If you do not want your precious perfect little angelic creature to become a kiddie porn star do not buy them a phone with a camcorder in it, again this comes down to dumb-assed moronic parents.The kids are paying for the phones and the plans by themselves right? Wrong the parents should be in jail for inducing child pornography and inducing its distribution if it is classified as pornography. Make an example out of these moronic parents and watch the cameras get disabled one by one.WTF are teens doing with cell phones in the first place? Emergencies that is the typical excuse, you know how to make a call in an emergency-Collect at a payphone. Works for my kids, worked for me, worked for my parents, worked for their parents, and their parents had the telegraph and smoke signals, none of which INDUCE Child Pornography or its distribution.Last time I checked nudes of kids are not illegal the pose and situation they are in at the time of the photograph is the determining factor to whether it is classified as porn or not.A quick search on google, bing, or yahoo for nudism will turn legal nudes of minors, they are not legal because they are not sexual, just being nude does not make for sex.If the girl in question was in a sexual pose centering on the genitals then it is porn and should be punished, but I'd be willing to wager that she was in front of a mirror just naked, I would further speculate that the girl took the photo by herself making it a self-portrait, she was not coerced or forced. Her first dumb move was sending to someone, not keeping it on her phone in her control.Americans Students, American Politicians, American parents are not as bright as you might think. Ill has a 17 Year Age of Consent, being 16 she will be classified as a child, unless you feel life begins at conception she might have her age adjusted by 9 months and be considered an adult, but that is wishful thinking. Why is it that when a child acts like an adult, murder for example, they are punished as an adult, but when they display other adult behaviors like this one they are not even given the benefit of the doubt the murderer gets? If the charges stick the lives of all the minors involved will forever be ruined all will have to register as sexual offenders despite they fact they are all probably virgins, they will forever be grouped with the pedophiles, rapists, molester and child murderers.Let the punishment fit the crime.[/citation]

OMG OMG OMG...Well, I think you yourself look like a teen so, I think you're misplaced to judge what it WAS like being a teen in past generations. Truth is, there never was anything so depraved around sexuality, teen and medias like there is today. Sure, there was peace and love, but like it says, there was actually some love involved, now it's all about sex and showing off. I'm from no church, I love hard sex and porn, but denying there's almost no morality anymore is just being hypocritical.

Soooo... She took a pic of herself nude and sent to this boy... how well did they know each other?! Obviously not very well at ALL.

If you actually took time time to read my post, you would notice that they discussed it, the 3 of them, amongst themselves and were able to do so on a level about 8 years older than what you have shown here. Again, all you have is insults. Given your seeming inability to provide even the simplest parts of a public discussion, I hope you will understand when I don't give your insults much credibility.

If there is a point in there i cannot find it, making it hard to rebut any other way than to say What?

Love and a Dollar might buy you a candy bar nowadays. No one hates you like those who used to love you.

Never said anything of the sort. I fail to see why everyone is making a federal case about this but since they are look at the whole situation. 35 BTW I hope I'm old enough to comment!

@ENFORCER22 Well I don't have kids thank you very much but I am an active uncle, living on the same street, having a very flexible schedule, and having a sister and brother in law work 3 jobs between them I know I am more active in the lives of my niece and nephew than most of the parents of the other students at their school are with their children. I'm the adult they can always count on for the truth, I'm the one who helps with the homework, I'm the one who drives them to Karate three times a week, I'm the one who babysits after school, I'm the one who screens the media they are allowed to have(video games and such). They have phones with cameras on them (I'd rather they not have call phones as studies have shown they can damage childrens brains more so than adults) only because you can't find a phone without one. Portland has poor public services sorry to hear that, there are businesses that will let people use the phone for a minute, hell ask one of the passers by to use their cell phone, a phone is not hard to find nowadays, even in prison.

I wasn't really targeting you, I was pointing out people who seems to be minimizing the "sexting" situation, or whatever is related to it. It's not just about teen's hormones, it's a social problem. For some reasons I didn't realize your post was much longer than what I read. You make good points, why almost every teens today have a cellphone is because they are spoiled to the bone. There's no real use to it. The only electronic device that get out of the home parents should buy to a teen is a laptop computer once he/she manage to get to college.

But putting all the fault on parents is too easy and doesn't resolve anything. It's a social problem. Reality shows and easy access to pornographic content on the Internet for a teen are two of the major ones. Again, either give the kid access to it or don't, but you can't stop him from going there even with filter or whatsoever. Same goes from crap content on television, once you give access to that, you can't really babysit them all day long to see what they watch. You can try to educate them before letting them, but that's worth what it's worth.

The real problem is the media itself, and that got to change, cause that's not only affecting the kids, but also the adults.

Were you aware there's so much of this "sexting" stuff going there's now paysites with database of those picture selling access to it at a monthly price? For as far as the age authentication of those on the pictures go, I have no clue about it. I even wonder how those types of site can be legal, but it is. Just check for emo girl nude or something like that on google, and you'll find this type of stuff. Or my ex girlfriend pictures. If they are adults well, they look like pretty young adults to me. Now tell me it's ALL parent's fault. Parents don't have control of everything.
