Yes, big brother is watching you. All photo processing centers are "obligated" to inform law enforcement when photos of children are questionable. They may also "turn you in" for any photos that contain questionable images, for instance, drugs. - Reply to this comment

- You, too, can be charged with child endangerment for taking a naked photo of your own child.

This is a very interesting story about not only photos of children, but for instance, a photo of Bush with a thumbtack through his head and a "thumbs down" sign next to it. The kid who made this photo got a visit from the Secret Service.
Or the guy who was arrested when he went to pick up photos of his marijuana crop.
Big brother is out there and is working at your local photo processing centers. - Reply to this comment
- I find it interesting that "child abuse" is considered a lesser crime than "*** offender."
Another case of law enforcement going crazy. Here''s an idea: You posT a nude picture of me on MySpace, just to be mean. I contact MySpace with proof that its a picture of me and demand they drop the picture. MySpace drops the picture.
END OF STORY. - Reply to this comment
- Torocaca, that actually happened to some poor mom in Ohio several years ago. But it wasn%u2019t the internet. She was showing some people her family photo album and one of them called the cops on her! It%u2019s absurd. The laws can%u2019t keep up with all the innocent situations that can arise when pictures are taken of kids, especially when other kids are taking the pictures or they are taking pictures of themselves. No where in the article did it say that the boy took the picture. She could have taken it herself and given to him when they were sweeties.

- Just another story and another day in the gypt and jewed cities of amerikkka. Brown nosers R us LLC. Amazing what hollywood drama does to the mind and you pay to get messed up with your cable bill. "Sure, go ahead Dr. Ashkenazi, give my kids shots so they get genetically altered. I always wanted a son who thinks he''s women. How much is that? Wow what a deal. Does that come with eye shadow?"

- How about this, if a 15 yr old girl takes a provocative picture of herself and posts it, is she a criminal or a victim?

Provocative isn''t necessarily porn.
How about this: You post some photos of your children playing in the bathtub. You could and probably would get busted for possessing and distributing child porn. - Reply to this comment
- Man, where do you get all this! Anything else you do!

EXCELLENT questions...
I''ve always understood that the distribution of the image is the crime based on content of the image. If the girl took the picture, herself, being a minor, only adults involved in posession or distribution would be commiting a crime.
However, Adults have been convicted of distributing nude pic of THEMSELVES that THEY took when they were underage.
This kind of story deserves the questions you are asking, not idiots who have to demonize political rivals because they lack the comfort of believing they are right. - Reply to this comment
- The whole point of my previous post was to bring light to the fact that BOTH individuals in this case were legally children when the %u201Ccrime%u201D occurred. Does the fact that he was 2 yrs older than her make him any less of a minor in the law%u2019s eyes? She willingly participated in the production of child pornography. If the fact that she was the child makes her not culpable, then the same should be said for him.

Both "were" legally children then, but now he''s an adult and not only in possession of "child porn" but distributing it as well. So the crime is still occuring.
It doesn''t matter that he posted it when he was 17; he''s legally an adult now and is responsible for its distribution via the internet.
He should have removed it from the internet when he turned 18. - Reply to this comment
