sexting case
Have we discussed this? 17 yo 'caught' sexting his girlfriend, subsequent arrest, then new 'request' for photos. What do you think? Teach your children that nothing on their phone is ever private.

I think there is something seriously wrong with this! What the boy did was wrong. What the police are trying to do is appalling!

My husband has had plenty of these cases being a LEO and he never asked for a penis pic. I read this to him and he even said it was crazy!

Not only a naked pic (they have already done that ! ) They want a picture of it aroused, so plan to take him to the hospital and give him an injection. I was like Wow for a 17 yo? For side by side in court comparisons? So lets teach a 17 yo boy that it's not ok to send picture of his privates to his girlfriend whom he has a relationship with by showing pictures of his privates to a jury of strangers he doesn't even know, because 17 yo boys are really going to be perceptive enough to understand the difference.
And yes if he were some older dude sending pictures to a child I would feel differently.

This is happening three miles from my area. It's frankly disturbing on so many levels. It's actually the DA who's pushing for this to happen. We are watching this very closely. My girlfriend's son received a nudie of a girl pal; he sent it to two of his friends. One of them blitzed the pic to EVERYone...both boy and girl, 14, are being investigated. Phones were seized; investigation ongoing.
My girlfriend is terrified. She has hired a lawyer for her son. He's a mess. It breaks my heart, because, depending upon the Magistrate's mood, and likely now depending upon the outcome of THIS case mentioned here, it could go either way for her son. He could get community service hours, or go to Juvie. We're so upset.
The worst part of all of this? There STILL needs to be a legal action to change the ages of those who are entered into the National Sex Offender Registry. If the Magistrate decides against my friend's son, he's entered into the Registry.

I mean what if his teenage pecker has changed since the sexing pic? He is a growing boy after all lol! |

I read this yesterday and am beyond disgusted and it makes me question the true motives of the DA.
The violation is so extreme I can't even imagine how any truth seeking, law abiding person could even entertain the thought.

It is so disgusting that they would even come up with this idea. Ridiculous.

Makes me wonder if this was a female would this still be handled the same way.

I agree with one of the comments posted below the article:
"Ask yourself this...what's creepier: An underage boy posessing sexy pics of other underage people or grown adult police officers abusing their power to get AND possess and have eternal access to these pics? Hmmmm. Gee, I wonder what you will deem worse. Seriously, Where is the line?"
I cannot believe they want to create child porn to prove child porn, just a completely crazy and outrageous way to deal with this situation.

I find this so disturbing. I'm also kind of conflicted on the issue. Children need to be protected from pedophiles and those who would prey on children. But I truly think teens sexting among themselves should be more of a parental issue. I know that reputations can be ruined like that. Actions have consequences good and bad. It's our job as parents to teach this to our children and all we can do is teach them. Ultimately they will make their own decisions and sometimes they are not wise ones.
I also think there needs to be a change with the sex registry. Someone caught peeing outdoors shouldn't end up on the registry. Wouldn't a simple ticket for indecent exposure suffice? Teens caught having sex shouldn't end up on the registry. Unless maybe there is a big age difference. I don't have teens yet so I'm really still unsure about that. I'm willing to hear other opinions to become better informed.

Seems to me that unless his phone was stolen and the girl didn't know the boy..there shouldn't be a need for his naked photos and especially one with an erection. This is wrong on so many levels. Don't the police just do deals these days...hello copt to this plea and we won't go after you for this one. I mean I am sure the boy is embarrassed and hopefully learned his lesson and I get we need to stop the sexting phase and filing charges on distributing child porn is more than enough for this age, they certainly don't need to go above and beyond proving it was this boy.
ETA - I just wanted to mention my son's phone was stolen and we stopped the service but they took the number used some online database that used his phone number then proceeded to take naked photos of their naked member and sent it to all his girl contacts listed on the phone. Of course a girl told the principal and they called the police. My son told them his phone had been stolen..but I would be devastated if they wanted naked pictures of himself. I found phone numbers the thiefs had used before I shut the phone off and did a search on the number and got the address then gave it all to the principal to give to the police..imagine my dismay when they did nothing with it. |

Uh, no. I can't imagine whose bright idea this was. And why any rational thinking person would go along with it.

What's next? Does this mean that rape cases are going to have to include detailed photos of his parts?

:crazy:Beyond insane. Seems like a clear violation of this boy....giving him an injection to make him erect and then re photographing?
This is going to teach him not to sext??? Etc?
