Why We Are Wasting Our TIme Prosecuting These Case

Why we do we waste our time prosecuting cases where teenager's are sexting. From NBC Los Angeles

It's a growing trend among teens known as "sexting," where nude or semi-nude images are sent through cell phones. Investigators said Wednesday they've busted a group of students at Yucaipa High School after nude images of teens were posted on a website.

Deputies cited four male students, all of them 15 years old. They identified eight female students as victims, ages 14 and 15.

The girls took nude photos of themselves, and sent them voluntarily to their friends, say investigators. The photos were eventually sent to a group of other students. One student collected the nude images and posted them on a Yahoo social networking webpage, said deputies.

While the four teenage boys were the ones who were cited, the District Attorney said the girls who took the photos of themselves are also facing criminal charges. They are not only considered the victims, but also the suspects in this case.

These crimes are considered felonies, and if the teens are convicted, they will have to be registered as sex offenders for the rest of their lives

What a waste of taxpayer's resources? Go crack down on shoplifters and pedophiles but not these young kids.

1. Don't you see? Such pictures might lead to them actually having the sex!

Because otherwise, you know, teenagers would never even think of their differently-genitalled peers in that way.

2. And LIKING it, god forbid!

Seriously, the only wrong I see is the boys publishing those private photos without consent.

Make them replace those pictures with unflattering pictures of themselves in the buff for one month, then take down the site. They can cover the candy with one coyly placed hand, but that's all.

It would also help if parents taught their daughters never to have pictures taken they wouldn't want on the front page of the newspaper, because that's exactly where those photos will end up, sooner or later.

3. Our psychotically challenged "puritanical" "values" drive us to distraction

4. For the same reason that a Fundie D.,A.

(in Minnesota, I believe?) is threatening to prosecute teachers who follow the State's Sex Ed curriculum. These idiots go absolutely bat-shit whenever the evil spectre of SEX!!!!! is raised.:puke:

5. Hot Cyber-Teens In Bondage. THAT'S Why!

What, you thought that all that hatred for pedophilia meant that we wanted to get rid of it?

Most of our laws regulating teen behavior are themselves forms of pedophilia.

I wrote something a lot more sarcastic, but some forms of satire leave deep, deep stains.
