I think it very debatable.

I don’t see how flogging parents will help unless they like that sort of thing.

Kids will do this sort of thing, it is natural to explore these kinds of thing at their age, and now they all have cameras that send pictures – hey guess what they use. The world has changed, people better get use to it, and change the laws to reflect that.

One doesn’t punish a child for this sort of thing. That will really give them hang-ups.

You do the same sort of thing you do when you discover them masturbating, reading Porn (which is usually the same time), or starting to date seriously. Parents sit down with them, and ensure their kids are equipped with the knowledge to look after themselves, whilst the parents simultaneously learn to accept their kids are growing up.

In all fairness to the parents, they’re trying to protect their kids by suing the DA. They can’t even see the pictures to decide how to punish their kids because the DA won’t show them (it’d be distributing child porn). The parents are trying to keep their kids out of harms way.

This is NOT debatable. Every single intelligent and rational human being on the planet already knows how ignorant the action is.

The true debate here is how society handles or punishes a child who has engaged in such rank stupidity.

In true fashion the same society that clings to nebulous deities and archaic moral structures will blatantly refuse to employ common sense and objectivity toward stupid children who rub the righteous wrongly.

Fact is, these kids should have never made national or even local news. The parents of all children involved who’ve allowed these kids to have their lives drug through the mud should be taken out back and flogged.

And after the parents- flog the fucking cops and this screwball DA.

Yes, I am merely indignant. I cannot believe this is happening to children of a free society.

Ground the damn kids involved and take their fucking cell phones away. DON’T ruin their fucking LIVES!!

Seeing how much publicity the girls have received, I think they have received enough of a “punishment”. There should probably be something tailored specifically to minors.

Good luck to them. It will be an uphill battle but hopefully they can overcome this and help change the law along the way.

Teens have sex with each other. They fool around, and do everything that adults do… punishing it is ridiculous, I’m glad the ACLU is taking this one on.
