young teen girls charged with child porn of themselves

This is ridiculous, even if someone was using a phone when they were not supposed to, why was a school official going through the phone? That person should be charged with child pornography.

As far as search and seizure, the rules only apply to "government officials." If the teachers work for public schools, then the search and seizure laws probably apply, however, if it is a private school, they would not. I know in NY this probably would not be charged and I certainly know of some judges that would toss these charges out in a heartbeat due to the closeness in age. From what I am reading here, it is not the police that searched and seized, but the school that did.

Why are the boys being charged with possession? Nothing that I read states that they showed the pictures to anyone or even told anyone they had them, they are criminals because someone electronically sent them a photograph? Please!

This is what I meant by the possible ramifications of this case. I'd hate to be liable for what anyone and everyone might float my way.

Can porn companies flood people's cell phones with pornographic images?

I don't have a cell phone camera so I don't know how they work, or if you get unsolicited advertising.


Everyone will eventually be flooded with porngraphic images in our society, from about 10 years old and up. Eventually we'll become habituated to it and we'll be able to do away with these archaic porn laws

Not even the threat of jail time is going to be enough to cause any 17yo boy to delete a naked picture of a hot classmate.

i know it....
my older son had a girl he was dating. she sent a pic of herself(top only, thankfully had on a bra) to his yahoo email address. problem was, it was MY computer.
he got in a ton of trouble-like i told him, what if someone saw that pic, and my husband ended up with a ton of grief because of this dipshit girl...
kids.
