This is a little overboard

Teens being charged for child pornography because they sent nude pics of themselves? I understand they're young and shouldn't be doing that, but come on? That's a charge that's going to stick with them forever because their parents sucked at raising them.

And the two boys getting charge the same because they received the texts? What the fuck?

I think i heard something about it in Newark as well...and good question about refusing a text?? they would have no control over it.

They were talking about it on the radio a few weeks ago. It's definitely out of control. My coworker is going through this too cuz he found half naked pics of his 12 year old son's girlfriend on the kid's phone and wants to take his phone away B/c he doesnt think the kid needs it. However his ex wont take it away b/c she thinks he does need it 'in case something happens'.

The only way parents could even try to control this situation is to take the phones away but thats apparently too hard for them to accept. Teenagers are hormonal and crazy and arent gonna see a problem with this behavior so the charges are definitely overboard. Its a parenting issue, not a freaking legal problem!

I sure as hell didnt really need my own cell phone til I was driving.. 14/15 years old is ridiculous

this was in the campus paper today.

not sure about the girls, but the reason the boys got charged was because the didn't delete the images, therefore they were in possession of underage pornography which is indeed a crime.

sure they can't control who sends them what, but they do have a little delete button that is completely in their realm of control, therefore you can deduct they kept the pics on purpose.

now if phones didn't have a delete text button this would be a different story.

Yeah, I wondered if it was something like that. When I have kids, I'm going to give them a damn CB Radio instead of a cell phone....little perverts.

But the boys are underage. I agree they shouldn't have done it, but they're all kids. Why charge them?

I would hate to be the parent of the girls in that situation.. They'll never live down the porn star status throughout high school will be on lockdown all the time.. as the saying goes, boys will be boys and if they get the charges dropped they wont have any problems at all.. Its a typical situation but most like the parents will be able to get everything dropped to misdemeanors or something along those lines..

I have a 14 yr old son, and I have recently inquired about getting him on my plan. They have service restrictions, such as no texts, or pics, or text only. Maybe these parents should restrict or place rules on the phone usage.

this is bullshit. Nake pictures of yourself is not porn, it may be sick. but its not porn. Child porn is a child having sex! not just naked pictures. these kids getting charges is bullshit. My mom has naked pictures of me when I was a baby in the bathtub, are the f'king police going to kick in her door and arrest her for it.... probably! wtf. yeah the kids are wrong for doing that, but charging them for child porn is bullshit, cause thats not what is going on. they are not sending pictures of themselves engaging in sexual acts.

Brooks they were pics of other kids on their phone.

Having pics of your kids is not child pornaraphy, butt if they are random kids someone is in trouble. If your mom had pics of the neighborhood kids naked on her puter she might be in trouble.

For the police, "Brooks mom DOES NOT have pics of the neighborhood kids naked on her computer!" As far as I know.:D

I always thought porn was pictures of sexual acts. guess I am old school, I'll have to tell my mom to format her hard drive, to get my x girlfriend pics off her computer from high school I guess. lol jk
