I certainly don't think they should be charged with child pornagraphy when they are the children.jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16397705917751266966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-13036527086429837852009-06-15T13:07:25.963-07:002009-06-15T13:07:25.963-07:00Totally agree, and would equally agree if the pics...Totally agree, and would equally agree if the pics were naked. Teens exploring their sexuality should never be considered a crime on par with adults vitimizing children. We have become quite comfortable with painting all "sex crimes" with a broad brush, instead of attempting to distinguish truly dangerous situations from relatively innocent adolescent behaviors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-21336278611493165232009-06-14T21:12:10.380-07:002009-06-14T21:12:10.380-07:00As always, a well stated piece, April.

But then, we have all sorts of idots running things these days. In a local school district a school security guard TASERED a high school kid for not stopping when asked to stop walking down the hall...TASERED for god's sake! Everyone has gone stupid I think! No common sense at all anymore..it is nuts.<br /><br />Bit, I digress...thanks for sharing the safety tips too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-69848694744123291022009-06-14T12:56:57.878-07:002009-06-14T12:56:57.878-07:00Hey, I didn't know you picked this up! Cool. B...Hey, I didn't know you picked this up! Cool. BTW, one was on the phone and the other was flashing a peace sign (fingers). Both were wearing bras. I too immediately started educating my daughter. Of course, I don't want her sexting. (Now they have some damned kissing wall going on in the Gr. 6 school yard after class. You never know.) BUT--and this is a big but--child porn legislation was designed to protect kids and get predators; it wasn't designed to protect foolish minors from themselves. Some of these kids are facing sex offender labels. As James Marsh said so well, a mockery. . .a travesty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-45688180987116546682009-06-13T17:13:13.524-07:002009-06-13T17:13:13.524-07:00Damn, I am so happy not to be 13 & not to have...Damn, I am so happy not to be 13 & not to have a 13 yr old. Soooo happy. As far as people making comments on other peoples comments, that gets to be a bit MUCH. I had someone email me once that she would no longer follow my blog because of a comment I made on someone else's blog.

Let me make sure I understand this...these thirteen year old girls sent pictures of themselves in bras to each other?<br /><br />Call me stupid, but aren't thirteen year old girls naturally curious about themselves and they just *might* have been comparing? Aren't they going through that little thing called puberty? I can remember being curious about my body and others at that age and I think I turned out ok.<br /><br />I'm with you on this. Totally. I do not think that two girls sending pictures of themselves in bras to each other constitutes child pornography.<br /><br />I could go on an entire rant on what kind of people I think are pushing this agenda, but I'll stop here.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14456445574969644863noreply@blogger.com
