Maybe it’s just me, but, why are there nude pics on the students phone to begin with. I know, rhetorical.
I know, right?
What’s worse? A principal stealing nude teen photos? Or the fact there are plenty of teen nude photos to steal?
smh
Nude pics are the new “trading cards” for tweens and teens.
Our entire culture is in the gutter.
I’m not really advocating this other than as a “thought experiment”...but what if things were different.
What if kids were told, once a pic is on your device, it is fair game, and you have no legal recourse to sue. If you’re underage and naked pics turn up, the child porn laws don’t apply if they are traced to your phone. In other words, shift the responsibility to the person who makes the decision to take the naked pics so - maybe - they won’t be.
There is a problem in the way we approach this today because it’s assumed that child porn is OK to self-produce, and OK to share with your boyfriend and so on. But once it turns up somewhere then it’s a big problem and they go after the guy who put it there. It’s a little analogous to throwing drug peddlers in jail but ignoring the meth labs or those who make it. Again I’m not saying we should only punish kids who probably don’t have fully-formed adult reasoning skills yet, but some kind of disincentive should be part of the solution.
Not saying this guy shouldn’t be strung up but yeah, WHY?
Parents are too busy on their own smart phones to check what is or is not on the “babysitter”. By “babysitter” I mean their children’s phones. And I can’t talk, because my not yet 13 year old grandson has an iphone, which I think is ridiculous. I don’t even have an iphone. Another thing that I dislike, besides the fact that these kids are exposed to the unscrupulous and unsavory, is that they are foregoing real relationships. Technology can be good or bad, and this is one of the bad things about it.
