Taking pictures of yourself?

[sequio]

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2009/03/26/national/a141848D14.DTL&tsp=1

Link is to an article by the AP about a New Jersey girl taking pictures of herself and possibly betting prosecuted using Megan's Law. Am I missing something or is this just completely bonkers?

Honestly, I think that that's just completely horrible to take naked pictures of yourself at 14. It's pretty gross and illegal. Even if it IS just for your friends or whatever, you're helping fulfill a creepy pedo's dream.

Well, shes 14 and taking nude pictures of herself. I say she deserves anything negative that comes her way.

It's not that I'm condoning her behavior, but I feel like this is some weird pocket dimension where you're protected from yourself despite being deemed not having the mental capacity to give yourself consent to do something to yourself that you decided to do aaaaggghhhh it just seems all so strange.

When? I can't find it.

Yes, this is crazy, blah blah blah, cops and lawyers go to far, blah blah blah, tiniest violin, whatever. What's interesting to me is that the article announces without qualifications that when teens send racy pictures or text by txting, it's call "sexting."

It is? Really? And who exactly calls it that? I mean, other than local news teleprompter writers who think we won't remember/fear things properly unless they compress it into a terrible made-up word?

I love how we're at the point with the media where we have to actually learn a whole dictionary of their idiot words just to understand what the heck they're talking about when they try and report us the news. Otherwise we'd be sitting there scratching our heads every time they referenced "cyberspace" or added the word "-gate" at the end of every political scandal.

And they wonder why we aren't buying their papers or watching their networks. Live AP feeds online? Hmm, not too many swollen brain buzz words in there. Because that stuff is written for the media lumps themselves, so it has to be clear, concise, and understandable.

Imagine that.

Of course, like all things I don't like, I blame all of this on hipsters.

Exactly obviously shes doing it for attention of some boys. or some random shit like that, prosecute her make her an example.

 

[Internet Kraken]

.........this is just stupid.

 

[Swordsponge]

lol! shes going to be a real freaky girl in about 4 years i wonder if they going to kick her out of school? you know the dikes in jail do the little happy dance every time we stick a young stupid teenage girl in jail

 

[Swordsponge]

now on a more serious note. what to do a 150 years ago the girl be married by now. church say stay a virgin till married and girls get married about 22 to 25 and there bodies turn on at what 11, 12 time there 15 only thing a man can do is run and society scream child porn i know the girls in when i was in 6 grade was having sex and in 5 th grade teasing the other 5th grade boys. so this is a issue that shows the sad truth of the world we live in a modren sociaty verse the surval traits of a species that for 50 thousand years 30 was extreamly old close to death you would be the anchiet elder of the village. now your not even half life and people live into the 100's. cant change evolution to fit the western standards of life and the real sad part in other parts of the world girls are still married at 12 to 15 and it a sociaty normal which a lots of U.S. girls are horrified about when they marry foriengs and find there daughter being married off to a 40 man for a bridal price paid to girls father. when there 12!

NOT BY ME FRIEND!!!

They are trying to cut off child pornography at its source (which is a noble ambition), but trying to punish the kid for stupidity doesn't accomplish very much.

KIDS ARE STUPID...SOME MORE STUPID THAN OTHERS.

(I would rather they "strip"-yes I said that- the child of all privileges pertaining to electronic interface equipment until they turn 18- if they are still stupid by then, there is no help...period).

 

[Brownie101]

This is just...Wierd...And saddening.
Oh. If anyone needs me, I'll be in my biosphere on saturn.

 

[fraserfj]

i know its wrong and all but seriously, shes getting a sex offense against herself

 

[kaziard]

Ok im my opinion the state is being more idiotic than the girl, sure shes underage but takin nekkid pics of yourself should hardly count as bloody sex offending. If your gonna drag the law this far why not arrest all parents who have pics of newborns who arnt wearing anything.....THEY MUST BE PAEDOPHILES DAMMIT! cut her internet access and give her a slap on the wrist definately not put on the register and jailed, its not as if shes fritzel.
