My comment was in reference to the connotation to “in the name of fashion.” But, please, have the last word.

REGARDING:
“This seems, to me, quite different than “sexting.”

Absolutely. I was completely wrong. One involves showing parts of one’s body to attract sexual attention and the other…. I forget, which is the other?

David in agreement
but confused

…”various things ladies have shown off in the past in the name of “fashion”

This seems, to me, quite different than “sexting.”

If parents would just take the phones away none of this nonsense would
even be being discussed. Kids don’t need cell phones they just need
more productive things to do with their time and parents who have someone
home knowing where they are and what they are doing at all times.

Take the phones away and start parenting and nobody will have to complain
about the government getting into these things or their children being labeled
anything other than a good kid in the neighborhood.

REGARDING:
“When did breaking the law not apply to minors?”

For better or for worse, there’re all kinds of differences in what penalties apply to adults and what applies to minors. At some point everybody would agree they are different.

For example, if a toddler picks up a pistol someone laid down and accidentally shoots someone, nobody considers the toddler responsible. people are less forgiving if the child is closer to what’s considered an adult. This is just an extension of that same thought, they are just kids and don’t know any better.

It also includes the thought that those who persist after getting in trouble a time or two may actually BE sex offenders. Let us pause a moment to remember the various things ladies have shown off in the past in the name of “fashion”, remembering slit skirts, mini skirts, see-thru blouses and hot pants–things which made it harder for working girls to stand out and earn a living.

You see this just shows how out of touch these idiots are in Tallahassee. Parents are buying thier teens cell phones, and in todays world they are texting and sending pictures to each outher that would blow your mind. Parents need to do away with camera phones because this is the main tool they use. Young girls are snapping pictures of there private parts and sending them to boys they are interested in. I have talk with several teen boys and you would be suprised what these girls are sending/showing and then just eraseing before thier parents find out. Don’t think your angel is a angel. Remember parent your are not with your child all the time and yes they do do it. The best hope would be to do away with cell phone period. And if you think your child need a cell phone then have the text portion turned off and buy a cheap phone without a camera

And let’s let them pay small fines for stealing, drug dealing, and give them a free pass to kill someone. When did breaking the law not apply to minors? Just keep telling them there are no penalities for breaking the law….what a bunch of smucks. I guess the victims of their “sex crimes” have to pay for it for them.

Its about time the legal system got some commonsense , 2 kids sending naked pics of themselves to each other should not be a felony. Im sure back in the 1960s people had parties and took pics and what not, of women flashing etc

Its really over reaching of government , and glad they are slacking off

Also Terri its not good to throw stones when you live in glass houses

Come on people…There are plenty of 17 year olds out there that would be set free for delving into porn..Just what we need… introduce a boy to porn as a minor,he will reap repercussions later in life.This trash is addicting as pot or crack. Dont introduce it to minors of any age.Don’t slap their hand and say BAB BAB!
