6:30-10:30, my husband was one if the drivers. Family is our best friends. Still can't control what the other kids decide to do in their basement. Pretty sure the parents didn't sit with them the whole time. Be realistic. |

Child porn is an extremely serious crime that can quickly land you in prison for a very long time. There are real criminals out there who hurt children, either by creating child porn or by sharing it and creating a demand for it. (I understand why you might find creating it worse than possessing it, but the law comes down hard on both of those activities.) Pictures of high school kids really aren't in the same category, in my opinion, and in the opinion of the judge who sentenced the West Springfield boys last year. |

I agree with you. I think the laws need to change, 17 yo boy and girl can have consensual sex and it is legal, but if they share a naked photo it is child porn. Does not make sense. I doubt most kids know this is a crime. |

| Does anyone know the law exactly? I don't think its poem if they send it to each other, I think it's porn if there is intent to distribute like in a shared website or something. That's why I think the boys are in more trouble. |

The recent case of the West Springfield teens involved just sharing the pics among the 4 friends. Not what the law intended, in my opinion, but shows a problem when the existing/old laws on the books have not caught up and are applied against new bad behavior. |

So then this is much, much worse. |

At this point only search warrants have been filed as part of an investigation; charges have not yet been filed. The Washington Post article gives no indication that any authorities have stated that these pictures were taken voluntarily. Just because we might know of cases where pictures were taken voluntarily does not mean that that is the case in this particular instance. We really do not know either way, so it seems a bit hasty to assume. |

| Preteens and teens with too much freedom or parents that are too busy end up using their dumb teen brains to parent themselves. The teen brain will make bad decisions! Preteens and teens need parents to help them through the land mines of hormones, sex, alcohol, drugs etc. Do not assume anything with a teenager. Also be a good role model. Parents should not drink often, do drugs, gossip, and should teach kids how to be modest, caring, respectful of themselves and others, and how to maintain their reputation. Being a teenager is tough. Teenagers need good parents! Parents today are too obsessed with good grades and getting into the right college. But look at the reality. Parents should spend more time worrying if they are sending their kids off to a school with lots of binge drinking and hooking up. Teenage and college students do not seem to respect each other anymore. It is all about getting the best grades and the into the best school to get the best job. Respectful dating relationships now are seen as a waste of time and young adults think that the opposite sex is just their to use. People need to make quality respectful relationships a priority. |

The heroin OD of the McLean student last summer, the incident where kids reportedly got caught with prescription painkillers on a band trip, now this.
What the hell is going on at McLean HS??? |

Well, different. It seems to be that the WSHS teens took pics of unsuspecting victims (and then shared the pics among themselves) and the MHS pics were taken and originally posted by the girls themselves. |

I feel so bad for this 16 year old. He is a juvenile and he is going to be judged and convicted before every going to court. To have 16 years old adolescents convicted of child porn for other 16 year old's pictures is just wrong. |

it wasn't a porn site. It was a dropbox site which is for backups. |

first instinct is to protect adolescents from adult justice. That is just the right and moral thing to do. |
