What these kids did was wrong and needs to be punished, but the incident points out just how badly kids’ stupid actions can be magnified these days through social media and technology that spreads pictures around quickly. In some ways I’m glad I’m not a teenager these days. I probably would be photographed doing something stupid or illegal, or would have taken an inappropriate photo.
Parents must be very naive. If you give a digital camera to a boy between 10 and 14 years old, what kind of pictures do you think they’re going to want to take? They’re all Hugh Hefner Jr as soon as they get the camera.
