This is really strange. Apparently it's illegal for teenage girls to take naked pictures of themselves and send them to whomever they want willingly. At least that's what a panel of judges are trying to determine in Philly.
So what do you think?
It's alleged that these pornographic photos were discovered by a local school district on the cell phones of three high school girls. But these weren't just anyone's porno images, they were their own.
As of right now a district judge is not allowing for the district attorney to charge the girls with anything because he believes the photographs are covered under U.S. first amendment rights.
However, the county district attorney says he "will charge the three high school girls with child pornography if they don't agree to be placed on probation, participate in a five-week re-education program and be subject to random drug testing."
Why should these girls receive such scrutiny? Isn't it bad enough they've already been exposed by their own school. If I were the parents I'd come back at the school with a lawsuit for taking my daughters phone and scanning it without some kind of search warrant.
Don't get me wrong, It may or may not be appropriate for these girls to be doing this, but that's not for the district attorney to decide.
If these girls willingly took pictures of themselves sans a third party contributor, then I say tell them they're promiscuous, but don't make them undergo drug testing and probation.
When are we going to start focusing on catching the bad people rather than the recreational marijuana and sexting addicts?
While the courts and district attorney waste their time on this case, there are much worse people and much less moral people screwing up the lives of others.
Focus your attention on them. Not a bunch of horny teenage girls that took nakey pics of themselves.

Agreed. Kids are idiots if they think what is sent around won't get around. everyone knows that since age 8.

ReplyDeleteYa, but who cares...they're horny teens..let them evolve and develop as people. I'm sure all of us regret doing some things.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, if it gets out of control then someone should step in.
I don't think this was on the verge of getting out of control though.
