Another reason not to live in Virginia

[drscott]

Two Northside High School girls who took nude pictures of themselves and e-mailed them to their boyfriends last year said they only did it to be flirtatious. It wasn't long before they realized the consequences: loss of friends, no more school activities, seeing themselves on Internet sites and felony charges. Both 16-year-olds were charged with production and dissemination of child pornography.

The law appears to be... flawed.

Bitch slaps all around

[ciddyguy.livejournal.com]

First of all, the law is probably flawed in it's intent and in it's potential interpretation.

Secondly, I'd have given the girls the bitch slap and a good talking to.

The judge for his interpration and good talking down to, but the major slap and berating go to the boys who sent the pics out in the first place. What they did was hurt the girls and ultimately hurt themselves. If they can't be trusted by these two girls, then how can others trust them with pictures?

And the one parent of the one girl, she needs to just get over it and move on.

Besides, what constitute pronography to one person isn't necessary pornagraphy to another.

'nuf said.

It's a troubling situation to hear about from all parties.
