Does anyone have an opposing point of view? Granted it's difficult, given how the article presents the points, but I'd be interested to hear from people satisfied with how the law—or maybe just parts of it—is behaving in these cases.
- drunkpotato 17y agoYou should re-calibrate your sense of "in other words". You had an interesting question until you lumped a broad category of people, including many minors, into the loaded word "pedophile". Your last question is not a re-statement of the previous question. It adds assumptions and associations that overwhelm the reasonableness of the first question.
- olliesaunders 17y agoI'm at a loss to rephrase the problem part in an appropriate way so I removed it. Ask the second question yourself if you can and wish to.
- Mz 17y agoI'll bite: There have now been several cases across the country where young people who either pose for, snap, or forward provocative or nude photos of other minors are being charged or threatened with felony child pornography. In the case of forwarding provocative or nude photos, I can see situations where that could be done with malicious intent and really harm someone. Depending upon the details of the case, I would be okay with throwing the book at someone for distributing photos that were never intended to be made public and which caused significant harm. I have heard of a case of Internet harassment that led to suicide or murder. So I think potential for real harm should not be laughed off entirely. Nonetheless, most of what I have read about teen sexting cases sounds completely insane.
