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? |

I'm not a sex offender. I'm not a child... I trust my boyfried.
If I got arrested for this, I would flip a shit and fight for my rights. This is a prime example of the government getting WAY too involved in our personal lives. I certainly don't support child porn - however, I think they need to draw a line, here. |

Are you or your boy friend under the age of 18? If so, please stfu. You have no rights pertaining to this law. Just sayin. |

Wow. Bad me for not keeping up with the debate.
Apparently, this is a hot topic. I agree with a lot of people that modesty and some sort of self control has to be taught to teenagers. However, I honestly think following the law to the letter is more damaging to society as a whole. If the 15-year-old is successfully charged and register as a sex offender... wouldn't he/she not be allowed to attend school? Aren't schools filled with minors? I just realized that. I would like to think our justice system would have enough sense to apply the child pornography law within reason. |
