I think ...Gods, this is just so incredibly stupid.<br /><br />I think the people who are trying to convict these kids of a crime should be sued for emotional abuse of a minor. Even though that may not be legally possible, I wish in my heart of hearts that it were.<br /><br />These people are heartless morons.timberwraithhttp://hauntedtimber.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142743576584523533.post-68441704902072426972010-01-30T18:23:37.110-07:002010-01-30T18:23:37.110-07:00If I were a kid who was dumb enough to sext, and I...If I were a kid who was dumb enough to sext, and I got not only caught but arrested and charged, I would let it go to trial. Jury trial even. And if I were a defense lawyer for one of them, I would advise exactly that.<br /><br />You know why? Because then the child can make absolutely sure the jury knows that they were screwing around and didn't know what they were doing and now they REALLY regret and *tear* they'd never do it again, if they could take it back they would *teartear* and now the Big Scary Mean DA's Office is being a bully and they don't understand why they're being put under the same label as a pedophile when they're only 13 and didn't mean anything by it and and *baaaaawl*<br /><br />You know why?<br /><br />Because a.) it would appeal to common sense, as this post does. and b.) because juries have an extremely hard time believing someone is a nasty, horrible perp and a victim at the same time. And since these kids are inevitably not doing anything all that bad (they aren't ACTUALLY exploiting a child, they're just stupidly photographing themselves nude because they don't realize how bad that could turn out), I think they would win.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142743576584523533.post-57988160947642616932010-01-30T11:27:26.579-07:002010-01-30T11:27:26.579-07:00It's also interesting that in the sexting case...It's also interesting that in the sexting cases that have gotten a lot of press, the prosecuting attorneys all express very conservative ideology as a justification for charging the kids. It makes you wonder if this is happening in other places too, but the prosecutor there just doesn't adhere to such a strict slut-shaming view.Raynenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142743576584523533.post-31511588554827164052010-01-29T16:11:16.157-07:002010-01-29T16:11:16.157-07:00There are no answers to these questions because th...There are no answers to these questions because the world isn't logical. You're assuming that people (and culture) are logic-driven, or at least minimally rational. But they're not, so none of this will ever make sense in a purely rational framework.macenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142743576584523533.post-65607209236062706342010-01-29T16:04:23.424-07:002010-01-29T16:04:23.424-07:00This is also a really weird case because it's ...This is also a really weird case because it's hard to know who's supposed to be injured by sexting. Is it the girl whose naked image gets sent all over school? The boys who see the pic? And if it's the girl who is being damaged by it, how does charging her with a felony help?<br /><br />It's astounding all the way around.diamondsforhorsesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142743576584523533.post-67621287117831879632010-01-29T15:50:00.138-07:002010-01-29T15:50:00.138-07:00Great post!
