First, I am surprised Nigeria extradited them.

Second, why can't we teach children that taking nude pictures of yourself or letting anyone do that, is likely to get you badly hurt?

The predators just ratchet down on the poor fools they exploit, demanding more money, more explicit pictures, more self abatement, more self harm.

There are a lot of wicked people who are expert at this, and there are a lot of ordinary people who take vengeance on exes.

Third, parents shouldn't let children have smart phones.

Says a person who spends too much time on the thing.

That would be self abasement not abatement, autocorrect is not your friend.

I caught a report on TV on this criminal activity against children recently and it is awful.

What you posted is right on the money, they just keep upping the stakes.

I have a friend that seemed paranoid avoiding any pics of himself online in any state at anytime. I used to rib him about it from to time. I’m in his camp now.

Good on Nigeria for sending these creeps over here. Too bad we can’t execute them. We need to change some laws, we clearly are having far too few executions lately. And no, I am not kidding.

That being said, and I understand the objection to nude pictures, but if that’s all it is, a picture of your naked body, what, exactly is such a big deal?

That’s the body G-d gave you. It’s not “dirty” or “shameful”.

Other than the fact that he’s a minor kid and it’s criminal to post his nudes, criminal to extort people, and criminal to post revenge porn - why would anyone care these days if some nude selfies went on the internet?

It’s terrible, the boy is young and probably doesn’t have the perspective to understand this kind of thing would pass fairly quickly. His photos wouldn’t get wide circulation, they would be taken down by all the major social media platforms and hosts almost immediately. Any of his friends who kept the photos or shared the photos would be looking at a felony charge and a lifetime on a sex offenders registry. Yeah maybe he’d be the source of humor for a few weeks at school, and maybe he’d get a new nickname. But he would also probably get a lot of chicks (or dudes if he’s into that) - the curious, the sympathetic, etc. He might have even turned into a cause celebre heck Hilton and Kardashian basically published their own sex tapes to fatten their bank accounts. He didn’t have to embrace it that way, but could’ve done some good from the notoriety. He could have flipped it from shame to empowerment if he wanted to. Or he could’ve just gone on to live a normal life. His life was worth so much more and I’m sad he didn’t know that, and didn’t have anyone in a supportive capacity in his life to help him through it. It might’ve been tough for a very short time but then life would’ve gotten better.

I’m bef\ginning to think much of this black on white crime are just part of what they consider reparations.

AI can put your face onto someone else's body, effortlessly and realistically.

So even if you did not share pics of your nude self someone can make it look as if you did and share those pics to the whole world.
