McLean hish school porn site -Wash Post

[Anonymous]

The participants were immature, hormonal juveniles and should be dealt with as such.

I'm less bothered by the behavior of the kids than the tangible blood lust of some of the adults here.

Another misogynistic attempt to blame the girls for leading the poor, innocent boys astray. One can't help but wonder if this is the general atmosphere at the high school involved in this case or just the attitude of a few individuals?

If you want the girls to take responsibility for their possible actions you need to accept that the actions of the boys were far more blame-worthy. It took time and effort to put this site together. The difference in the level of culpability has been noted numerous times. It does a child no favors to make excuses and blame others for their actions.

"It does a child no favors to make excuses and blame others for their actions." This applies equally to the girls.

Sorry, but it only applies equally if the girls both took the pictures themselves and then put them together into a website and circulated links so others could view them. At this time, there is nothing in the news indicating the girls took the pictures themselves and two boys are being investigated for starting, owning, and/or operating the website where 52 folders of pictures, 24 of which were labeled with names, were found.
It does not appear that the boys in question were dragged or forced in any way to keep, organize, and distribute these pictures. The people in the pictures were held up for embarrassment and have been placed in danger.
It is much worse to embarrass others and put people in danger than it is to do something foolish thinking someone is romantically interested in you. In terms of character, it is far worse to take advantage of another's vulnerability to put them in a position of embarrassment and possible danger.

Taking and distributing porn to a minor, even just one minor, is a crime. It isn't just a mistake, it's a serious crime and any of the girls who took nude pictures of themselves and sent it to a minor should also be prosecuted along with the boys. Any girls who were unknowingly photographed nude should be protected to the fullest extent possible.

It sounds like high schoolers are writing a lot of these posts that minimize the role of the creators of this web site. They don't appear to understand the moral and legal implications of the actions involved in putting the site together.

more specifically, it is like a teenager handed over their wallet to another teenager, no adults involved, only under aged teenagers

Actually...one is 18!

Sure, but you do understand that, while all involved may be prosecuted, the creators of the website would be likely to face more criminal charges than the girls because of the multiple actions involved in creating and circulating access to the site. The subjects in the pictures would face fewer counts because their involvement ended before the creation of the site (unless you are implying that the girls knew that a website was being created and then actively participated in the planning and organizing of the site). Whoever created the site participated in many more actions that may end up proving to be illegal.

That is not true in adult court. The person that creates child porn would be prosecuted more than somebody distributing it.

The older student is identified as a "senior," but not as 18 or older. Had he been an adult, wouldn't he have been named? The 20-year-old Marshall HS student arrested last year on child porn charges was an adult, and was identified in news articles by name.

My goodness. Makes you wonder why the moms (or teen girls) here are so blind to accepting any responsibility in this mess.

How old are the people involved in this case? Will they be eligible to be tried in adult court?

Again, posts with a tone of hostility toward women.

Oh no brown people eating lunch with kids! At least they are all wearing clothes when their pictures are on the internet.

Well, there's that, although the evidence would suggest those teens found ways to gratify themselves that went beyond Snapchat.

They could be adopted At least they are still in school and not facing criminal charges (as far as I know from that picture), so that is a positive for me!
