There have been a lot of cases of police arresting and charging teenagers/minors with possession and distribution of child pornography because they've been sending racy pictures through their phones. Authorities argue these measures are done to send a message. They are protecting kids from further harming themselves by risking their pictures getting put on the internet. So a 14 year old girl who sends her boyfriend a naked picture of herself could get arrested and charged for distributing child porn.

However, once charged, these kids have to register as a sex offender, in some places for as long as ten years. Which means, that 14 year old girl will find it a lot harder to apply for jobs and college all because she sent a photo of herself to her boyfriend and got lumped into the same category as a child molester.

Thoughts?

How do they know about these things, anyways? Teens can keep quiet about this stuff from their own friends, let alone their parents. Invasion of privacy, if you ask me.

I don't think this is a reasonable law, but i can see why they're doing it.
But if two minors have sex, i think they should both be charged with statutory[sp?] rape.

The government watches everything you do, on the internet and over the phone.
Hell probably in your own house soon, Google is going to be putting cameras over every part of the world.

why? why should they be charged with anything? who cares? me and my gf had sex when we were both 16. why on earth should i be charged with raping her? i do not get the point in saying that two minors having sex should be charged with ANYTHING. i don't even get what the offense is in two minors having sex consensually is, other than the fact some people think it's "morally wrong".

I know that's why i don't think the whole Child Porn thing is right because if your going to charge a minor with Child Porn, it would be equally the same to charge them with statutory rape.
I don't think any of it is right, if they're both under 18, and not like 12 and 17, but more like 15-16, they shouldn't be charged with anything. That's just accounting them as an adult, and they're not.
