[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I don't know all the facts of this case[/b], but I agree generally with the notion that we should not be putting "jerks" on trial or criminalizing their conduct.  This seems like a very sad case, and the American "blame" culture going awry.  A very unhappy kid took his own life, and we have to blame someone.  And it may be true that he was treated cruelly and bullied by the defendant.  But that doesn't mean we should put him on trial.

I think it is a dangerous precedent.[/quote]

How can you comment on whether this is an appropriate prosecution when you admittedly don't know all of the facts of the case and, most likely, you don't know the law either?  Your point may be reasonable, but you have no idea whether or not this case is a good example of what you're talking about.[/quote]

You're making a lot of assumptions about me.  How many other people have even been prosecuted for a violation of this webcam spying law in the past? [b] If spying is illegal in NJ, the prosecutor's office should be going after every kid who videos another person and puts it on facebook without permission. [/b] Not just when the outcome is so sad.  Otherwise we're criminalizing the result... not the conduct.[/quote]

Yes, they should. At the very least they need to start doing it systematically for every kid who does this with the intent to bully. All the zit-faced jerks who use FB, Twitter, texting etc. to bully should now be afraid...very afraid.... :twisted:[/quote]
