In our area this week it was revealed that a group of junior high school kids (boys and girls) used their cell phones to take nude pictures of themselves and share them around.
Today the news reported that all of them may be charged with crimes that will require them to register as sex offenders for the rest of their lives.
HELLO!!! What's wrong with this picture?
Lets see: we expose them to sexual content their whole lives, they see the girl on American Idol "strut her stuff" and get publicity for it, they see Britney Spears walk around half naked (or more) and get rich. Then when they try to mimic what they see, the "justice" (??) system is going to punish them and ruin their lives with the sex offender thing.
Now, don't get me wrong, I think this whole thing was a bad idea, but the folks that need punishing is the parents!
Why does a 12 or 13 year old need a cell phone with a camera? Why are they being allowed to idolize Britney? Why are they being allowed to watch American Idol and Survivor and Anne Nichole's TV show? Why doesn't anyone thing they need to PARENT anymore?
Let's take each and every one of the mothers and fathers of those kids and think of some appropriate punishment for them, and someone help those kids sort out what was wrong with this whole idea.

a lot is wrong with this
I, too, think this is a parenting issue. There are real sex offenders out there that aren't being punished for their crimes. Why ruin these kids lives for their immaturity and stupidity? The world seems upside down at times.
Definately the parents....and also the morons that can't read that this is age appropriate curriosity as they head towards sexual maturity.
