Teen Faces Child Porn Charges For Pictures Of Self
From AZCentral.com:
Police in Pittsburgh haven't released the name of the teen. Authorities charge that she sent explicit photos to people she met in online chat rooms.
According to investigators, the teenager also posted pictures of herself performing a variety of sex acts.
Police won't say how they learned about the girl, but add they found dozens of photos stored on her computer hard drive.
She faces a number of serious charges, including possession of child pornography.
This kid doesn't need jail time. She needs/needed parents who would explain to her why she shouldn't be performing sex acts at age 15 and sending pictures of those acts out over the internet.
We have a tendency to blame stories like this on the amount of sex on television or the amount of sex in advertising, among other things. Perhaps those sources contribute to problems like these, but at the end of the day I can't help but hold parents responsible. Parents are more than capable of regulating what their kids are doing with their computers.
So before we blame our decadent society for stories like these lets take a long look at who we are as parents. The government and law enforcement can't solve problems like these. The solution has got to come from the parents.
