Baconxl Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 So she's a stupid kid, so what? Charging her as sex offender and putting her in prison would only make it worse. As the person in the article said, she needs help, not legal trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathdrow Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I really don't think they should label her as a sex offender, that should be reserved for people who have actually done something bad, not just been a [developmentally delayed] and posted nudey pictures of themselves on myspace.

If she wants to go be a [bleep] then it's her own damn fault - she needs being told that it's a stupid thing to do but she aint really a sex offender. Just a horny teenage girl. #-o I agree completely. Why she is now a sex offender is just absurd. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warren211 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I don't see why everyone always looks at a crime investigation involving a minor annd go "that kid doesn't need punishment, they need help". What help is this 14 year old going to get that avoids punishment? How do you convince a girl at the peak of her puberty with a boyfriend that sex isn't cool, and that breaking the law is even more uncool? I would think the only way to do that is getting them in huge trouble because that's just about the only way they'll realize they're in deep [cabbage]. I think the sex offender status was deserved here. Believe it or not, there are people who check out their friends' myspaces who don't expect to see their friend naked and trying to pose in an arousing manner. Sure, most teenage boys would dream of it, but if you ask me there's nothing good that can come out of a teenager posting herself naked in a place where close friends, secret admirers, and random pedophiles can easily access. [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers.

The thing is, noone here is defending what she did, they are defending her right to do something stupid like this. Noone was harmed by what she did, she is allowed to hurt her reputation, and at most a few people went on her myspace for two seconds and either went ew and closed the page or looked(their choice now). The law she is being charged with was made to protect children from sexual predators, not prevent teenagers from being idiots.

Dexek Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 This is why webcams were used when I was 14. Personally, I don't think she should be labeled as a sex offender. She's 14, horomones are flying all over the place and she stupidly used MySpace as her outlet. Time should have been spent monitoring that twice-convicted sex offender rather than looking for racy pictures of little girls on MySpace. I do agree that a public area isn't the place to put photos, but seriously.. send her to jail over it? :thumbdown: PoetryIndexed Picture 1Indexed Picture 2 Killed my maxed Zerker pure April 2010 Rebooting Runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapists are a more violent and heartless type - distributors are just people who take advantage of lewd stuff.

raven_gaurd0 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Just another thought on this Child pornography is illegal because it is exploiting children correct? Stabbing someone is illegal because it is infringing upon their rights correct? Is stabbing yourself illegal? no, because your allowed to infringe upon your own rights If she was sending along pictures of other underage children I would start to consider light charges, and its a given that legal codes need to catch up to addressing things such as the distribution of child pornography that was initially created with the subjects allowance. While this girl is showing a lack of self restraint, I see no harm she caused to anyone else and therefore conclude this should not be illegal. I was reading this thread, and I'm afraid I have to point out that stabbing yourself is, in fact, illegal. Suicide is considered 'murder' and is punishable by the legal system, but you can't really punish them, 'cause they're dead. We can't let exceptions slip under the radar. She broke the law by procuring sexually explicit images of somebody under 18; therefore it is child pornography; therefore illegal. Just because it doesn't 'harm' many people, doesn't make it any less illegal. It harms the community as a whole for those kind of pictures to be out there. Here, let me put it out like this: If a 15 year old kid stabs somebody, they'll be charged with assault the same as if a 25 year old stabs somebody. Just because she's 14 doesn't make her any more guilty or innocent; she committed a crime that must be punished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because she's 14 doesn't make her any more guilty or innocent; she committed a crime that must be punished. You're missing the point. Child pornography laws are there to kill the demand for child pornography and by extension stop children being abused. Now the person in this case is not being abused by the person who made the images available (herself) and there is no abuse at the root of this case. If this was a normal case, she would be the victim. By implication you are suggesting that this child is as bad as a child abuser for what she did which is nonsensical. Also stabbing yourself and suicide are not necessarily the same thing. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I personally see this case as skewed. Just because she made one mistake the legal system would ruin her life permanently by forcing her to register alongside rapists as a sex offender if convicted. What's needed here is help, not punishment(at least within reason, maybe something minor) Why would someone put their pictures in public, is beyond me. I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight.

You may say they're not doing the same thing since the 25 year old wasn't posting child pornography but, just looking at the actions they performed (posting nude images of your own body), they did do the same thing.
