[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are quite a few posts that indicate that taking pictures of oneself is equivalent to collecting the pictures of other children and forming a website to allow others to view them. Other posts place the blame on the kids who possibly took their own pictures and imply that it is their fault that the other kids created a website. [/quote]

While there may be a few posts like this, most of the posts that focused on the girls were as a result of people saying they placed no blame at all on the girl, which I totally disagree with.  I definitely don't think the boys should get a pass at all.  I'm just appalled by those posters who think it's ok for girls to send porn to other minors.  I don't want my child being the recipient of any pictures like this and think the girls need to be held accountable or they and others will keep doing this.  Just because the boys are more wrong doesn't mean what the girls did wasn't also unacceptable and in fact criminal.   [/quote]

I'm not seeing the posts that say it's okay to send porn, I just keep seeing the ones saying that the children who took their own individual pictures have the same amount of culpability as the young people who collected and labeled the pictures, put them on a website, and sent out links to others to view. I also see posts using demeaning terminology to describe the children whose pictures are in the folders on the site.

I see that you are in fact acknowledging that the site creators have more moral culpability, but other posts have not. If it is true that children took their own pictures, I suspect that the fallout from this incident will be a deterrent.[/quote]

Also, important to keep in mind the ages of the kids involved. We don't know the ages of the kids in the pictures, beyond the fact that they are minors. Are we talking 16 or 17? Or are we talking 13 or 14? Big difference in maturity levels between a 13 year old and a 17 year old. Generally, courts take age into account when considering a case. The kids who are associated with the creation of the site are on the older side of the range. Just another point to keep in mind. At least we can hope that hearing about this situation will get other kids to realize and think twice before doing something impulsive.
