1) We don't know if this was one picture or more.

2) Students download tons of things.

3) Someone else may have downloaded it onto his computer.

Do you turn in everyone you know to be breaking the law, or do you discuss it with them first? If you know someone who's mixed up with drugs, do you try to convince them to go to church, AA or rehab, or do you call the police?

This is minor in comparison to murder, rape, theft, or arson - felonious acts that absolutely should be reported.

Minor in comparison? Anything can be justified in this manner. I could say that the threat of communism was minor compared to the threat of the Nazi. It could have been a set-up however. Plus, sometimes you never know where you may accidently end up on the internet with all those pop-ups and stuff.

Good grief, TR. The respondents to your post would have been right at home in Salem, MA or Edenton, NC.

This is great. Let's lynch the kid first, then find out what really happened. I find the mob mentality no less sick than the purveyors of child porn filth.

You people don't know anything about this incident other than the fact that the kid's roommate turned him in to the cops after borrowing his computer. Let's see. Out of the multiple hundreds of alternate scenarios, here are two that come to mind:

The so-called friend got a wild hair up his butt and set the kid up and turned him in. Maybe he and the accused got into some stupid, juvenile tiff.

Here's another, maybe the kid ended up with this stuff on his computer without knowing it. Maybe someone sent it to him in e-mail or he was surfing somewhere he shouldn't and had no intention of downloading anything illegal.

Making the leap from this story to convicting the guy of child molestation doesn't make any of you smart or righteous, it just makes you mindless thugs in the lynch mob. Grow up!

This is minor in comparison to murder, rape, theft, or arson - felonious acts that absolutely should be reported.

Child pornography is not minor. For someone who posts Bible quotes, you should know the difference. For your information, child pornography IS a felony. You need to update your mental information.
