Oh come on, clearly if he is an "absolutely wonderful" kid he would not have done this. Would you be saying that if he shared explicit pictures of your daughter? I don't think so. By the way, being from a great family is meaningless. We all know bad kids from great families, especially if by "great" you mean rich.

I don't know the kid other but I know lots of wonderful kids that did stupid shit when they were under 18. The kid shared picture of naked girls.

Meanwhile girls every week are having abortions. Stupid kids, doing stupid thing, none are horrible people.

Presumably the girls intended the pictures to go only a limited number of recipients, while these two boys wanted the pictures to be accessible to lots of people. But the girls have or should have an understanding of social media and email/text: once you send something to someone, it can and will be forwarded to everyone in the world, regardless of your intent.

The boys did a very wrong thing. The girls did a wrong thing, too. Certainly the wrong thing that the boys did was much greater, which is why they will get in trouble with the law. The girls will get a pass from the law, even though they should know better.

I actually think creating child porn is worse than sharing it but to each his own. Porn, of course is a legal term, these are probably pictures of girls boobs.

The girls will only get a pass because they are not 18yo yet. If the girls were over 18 there is no crime.

If the picture were involuntary the charges would be different.

And these two boys compiled and aggregated them into a repository. Their crime is far more serious than whatever foolishness the girls did.

And yet, if the girls hadn't taken their clothes off for the camera and shared the pics (as I hope my teen DD never does), there wouldn't be a website mining such pics.

You have a teen DD and yet you still manage to victim-blame these girls. You are a disgusting human being.

So the girls can take naked pics of themselves and plaster them all over unregulated public social media and then come crying that they never meant for the pics to be put on a website (but instagram, Facebook, twitter, vine, etc., those are fine)? Grow up.

Where does it say any of that happened? Now you're just making stuff up.

You can call it victim blaming all you want. These girls need to be held accountable for their actions too. They took and sent the pictures. As far a I'm concerned, that's distributing pornography and I don't want my DC being the recipient of pictures like this, and getting sucked into stuff like this, even if it's never forwarded to anyone else. When are people going to stop giving these girls a pass? They are treated like fragile little teenagers incapable of making good decisions while boys of the same age are expected to make decisions as if they were fully mature adults. That's a ridiculous double standard. I guarantee you, if girls and boys were held to the same standard, you would have way less of this. But I'm sure these girls will keep getting passes because of all the enablers shouting victim blame.

How do you know these girls took their clothes off for the camera? What is the source of your information?

What, are you thinking a spy cam in the girls locker room? Come on. Girls have been taking sexy pics and sharing them since there's been the technology. No need for spy cams anymore. And how could you get sexy/posed pics from a spy cam anyway?

What is the source of the evidence that these particular pictures were taken voluntarily? It does not say that in the Post article. Is this an assumption being made or is there evidence elsewhere?
