A girl exposing herself through pictures shouldn't be much different than exposing herself in real life. What the guy chooses to do with the exposure (forward the pics or take the pic in real life) is up to him. If he does show others in anyway, he should expect consequences.
Agreed. For the most part... Here's something that happened to me. As you know or may not, I'm a telephone tech which involves me setting up broadband for customers. One customer, an elderly man who was putting broadband in for his 14 year old granddaughter who was now staying with them for school work. Upon setting up his computers, specifically email browser, a topless photo of his 14 year old granddaughter popped up, which I quickly exited... he asked...what the hell was that? I answer, just so we're clear, I did nothing inappropriate in this situation... he said, I know, you're just setting it up... I said, it appeared to be a topless picture.. so he asked me to pull it up again, which I did and asked, is that your granddaughter... he answered yes... he asked me if I could delete and I assured him I could... he then asked, is there more... I said there appears to be and pulled up a second.. here this girl already had sent topless pictures of herself via the email browser, likely through dial up... he thanked me several times for my "assistance" and said him and her will have a heavy discussion... I immediately called my supervisor and clued them in on the situation, covering my ***... That is where parenting comes in... I have no children and one of the "contracts" would be that I could search their computer or phone at any time I choose appropriate or they cannot own one... Like or hated by my child, It would be my job... it's not the job to be the best friend, it's the job to parent... IMO. per the OP.. There should be consequences regardless of who sent it, who received it or who forwarded it... child porn is child porn.. just because those sending or receiving are consensual, it is what it is, child porn.. children cannot rape children and be okay, children cannot watch or retrieve child porn on line because they are children and it be okay... the person sending it is guilty of sending child porn, the one receiving it is guilty of receiving child porn... remember, this is all electronic and that's where the laws will step in.
Hmmmm. So Technically, the phone/internet companies could track most child porn? Isnt that invasion of privacy?
Don't be fooled, all internet material is through DC... As far as law, unsure but I'd imagine, once loaded, sent/received it's no longer "private"... electronically.
Take the texting while driving laws... if you get pulled over, does the cop have the right to search your phone? If he does and it's a teenager and there's sexting on there, is it child pornography and illegal? Big can of worms.
I have a 12 and a 1/2 year old daughter the ulcer is in full swing and the shot gun is loaded by the front door.
Make sure you dads don't give in to those doe eyes your daughters have .... listen to your wives ....
my stepdaughter is thirteen and thank God she isn't into or aware of this yet...but on the other hand with what we have to deal with already I am definitly not looking forward to the raging hormones and I know its not far away. Truthfully I get pretty hard on her already for what I think is disrespectful to self and others and responsibility for actions and words...this new battle will prob'ly turn into war.
I think it is invasion... But at the same time, the phone companies "own" the service and the phones, so they have to ability to look at it right?
Depends on a number of things, but not all courts allow the contents of mobile devices to be searched without a warrant.
"Good" parenting or not if the kid has a phone it is just one click away... The only way "Good" parenting would work is if "Good" parenting does not allow the kid to have a phone.... I put Good in "" because of the wide meaning
I agree, if you are going to charge one, charge them all and then maybe Teens will start using that big melon above their shoulders.
Elders have thought this about teens since the begining of time. A teen boy is wired to only think with the other one. Its up to the adults to regulate the accessibility to things for them to be able to do things such as this. I still stand on the no phone and if they do have one they should only have one that makes calls only (whether that be by the phone not having a camera or having it blocked if possible). I know they are hard to find and if they don't exist then maybe they shouldn't have one at all. We made it through the teen years without one.
