I hope kids today are NOT relying on National Geographic!
Ever wonder how many future political careers are ruined before they start, simply because of what is already on the internet, waiting to be discovered?
we must be about the same age ;-) Tell you this, if we’d have seen naked pics of the girls in our class half of my buddies wouldn’t be here, they’d have had heart attacks at age 10!
We did once send this really dumb kid to try to pry up the frosted-glass window into a girls locker room. They figured it out and quickly got dressed and yanked the window wide open right in his face. I think he peed himself ;-)
Net Geo “torpedo boobs.”
Sometimes this happens. Other times, it is considered a little heavy-handed to charge teenagers with the production and distribution of child pornography for taking naked pictures of themselves.
I get your point.
I just see society headed in a direction that’s not good. The kids accept it as if nothing is wrong, it won’t be long before there is so much of it that it can’t be enforced.
If a 15 year-old girl takes a nude selfie, she has committed no crime. If she shares it with her friends, again, no crime. But if one of her friends is over 18, the 18 year-old has committed the crime of possessing child pornography. It’s kind of like the new California law that says that underage prostitutes are committing no crime but their adult customers most assuredly are.
I think Dickens wrote, “The law is a ass”.
“Yeah, we had to rely on National Geographic. (Telling my age)”
Don’t forget the Sears catalog, it captured the fancy of many a young fella.
But NG was the gold standard.

And there was Sunshine & Health...
The next shoe to drop is going to be iCloud-type services. Dad buys his teenage kids a phone on the shared family plan and his kids trade naked pics on it that wind up on the shared iCloud account.
One day dad's phone is acting up so clueless dad takes it to Verizon where they find a bunch of underage teen porn that he never even knew was there. Now dad's reputation is ruined, he's lost his job, and he's off to prison.
At least the naked native babes in old NatGeo’s were in their natural state & wondering what was the big deal about breasts.
False and false practically everywhere. It's only a matter of how heavy-handed the law wants to be.
I thin you are missing out on how young and how stupid we are talking about here. I have had a friend have this happen with his daughter. Daughter was brought up on a farm, raised with strict parents and a very small catholic school in a small conservative town. Some how the daughter thinks its ok to take a topless selfie. Father is so upset. His mind is blown and he can’t figure it out. The girl is in 7th grade. A phone is required to pick her up. Pay phones don’t exist anymore. Kids have phones because they need to be picked up. And even the cheapest phone can take pictures.
This entire issue makes no sense. If you rob a bank when you’re 14, you have committed a crime. Why the difference here?
The principal was doubly stupid. If he was going to indulge in such moronic illegal behavior, you’d think he’d use a VPN or other encryption method to hide his device IP address.
My cousin had a collection of S & H mags. Even then I knew the women shown were not typical nudists.
Years later in flight school this appeared on the ready room bulletin board:
“Notice to airmen: Absolutely no flying permitted over nudist colony located exactly 8 miles SSW on a true course of 210 degrees!”
Ooopppss! Looks like calibfornia beat you to it. Underage prostitutes will no longer be subjected to harassment from the popo either male or female or whatever spans the YUGE gender gap today. Way to go cali.
I fear that before I depart this mortal coil that such trash is no longer used against a candidate, but overlooked and even considered “extra credit” for the job applicant.
Yup. Snap a nudey, send it to your worst enemy 18 and over, call the cops (before you send it), and watch him/her get arrested. The perfect crime.
You might be right. But I have never heard of any teen being charged with creating child porn when taking a selfie. Minors can be amazingly protected against their actions simply because they are minors.
Here locally, a few years ago, a teenage girl was caught burying a (what turned out to be) a still-born child in her back yard. She was arrested, but when all the facts were discovered, she wasn’t charged with any crime, including improper disposal of a body. But while she was a suspect her home was searched and letters from a local teacher were found hidden in her room. Turns out she had been having sexual relations with him and he was charged and convicted. But he was not the father of the child, one of her classmates was. Because he was 17, having sex with her (I think she was 15) he too had committed no crime.
When I was teaching, if we had to confiscate a phone we were under strict orders to have the kid shut the phone down and under no circumstances were we or anyone else to look what was on it. If the kid’s girlfriend had sent him nude selfies all of a sudden we’re an adult in possession of child porn.
Not saying this guy shouldn’t be strung up but yeah, WHY?
