Girl Charged With Child Porn

[MagicNakor]

Actually, shit derives from the Old English scite and the Middle Low German schite, which mean "dung." The word has been around since at least the 1300s.

Much like the vaunted acronym-origin of fuck, you can't believe everything that comes across your inbox.

The irony is striking:

S.H.I.T. technology for the conveyance of scite/schite/manure/shit.

Sounds like one of the precursors of political correctness, to me.

I'll bet with a little more digging ( ), even more interesting facts will come to light.

erm... I musta got lost

I thought we were talking about a 15 yr old girl taking indecent pics of herself and sending them out, and now it appears we are talking about fecies ??

Meanwhile, the real criminals and dangerous deviants are getting away with it...

Lots of stuff in the news last couple of days, big busts, etc.

Although the real bad guys make better targets, the girl's situation must be addressed, guys, one way or the other; just keep fingers crossed that the outcome is appropriate, yes?

In full agreement there (although I am still in favour of the double clip around the ear and no pc till an adult penalty.)

I appreciate the correctness of due process I just have a reservation regarding whether a juggernaut is the appropriate vehicle in this case when a moped might do better for all concerned.

I have been going over this for 2 days myself. If I had a girlfriend under the age of 18, and took indecent pics of her, with her concent, and then sent them out, I would surely be guilty of child pornography. the point here is to me, its not different that the girl took the photos herself, she is doing the same thing with them.
one point that seems to get lost sometimes is this. Just because someone is charged with a certain crime, doesn&#39;t mean thats the charge they will face when they ultimately end up in court. although the child abuse charge seems rediculous, her actions met the criteria for the charge, even though its herself. I am almost sure that charge will be changed or dropped by the time she goes to trial, if she doesn&#39;t plead out first to something like indecent exposure or the like.

The former in any case, agreed.

One hopes the latter doesn&#39;t come to pass (I really don&#39;t think it will), but the possibility must be acknowledged, I suppose, given that we are, as regards the internet, still in the formative stages as to the user/legal interface.

Let&#39;s hope reality rears it&#39;s (in this case, at least) "beautiful" head, yes?

BTW-

To paraphrase Ian Anderson:

"Where was Biggles when I needed him last Saturday?"

Been waiting some time to get that one out there.

It&#39;s a difficult issue....does she have the right to give away photographs of her own body, of her own consent? She surely should not receive the same prison sentence as a child pornographer.....to lump her in with that class of people surely isnt morally right....so its a bit of a grey area TBH, up to the courts to decide.

Your appropriate concern is precisely why this case must play out.

Case law could/should be written here, and obviously, this is good and necessary; the known facts reveal extant law is not sufficient, and a "black hole" needs to be closed.
