This is a video that I found on cnn.com. It is about a 14 year old girl who posted nude pictures of herself on myspace so her boyfriend could see them. There is question about how she should be charged. Should she be charged as a sex offender? It mentions in this video that laws were developed to protect children from predators. What happens when they are posting these types of pictures themselves? I found this to be interesting since we have just finished discussing the different types of laws in class. It mentions Megan's Law that requires sex offenders to register. Clearly, something has to be done to stop this type of behavior. These young children do not realize what type of impact this has on their lives forever. What types of charges should she face, or should she face any charges? This is a hard decesion. Watch the video and see what you think.

Susan,
This is crazy. I think they have lost sight of who the law intends to protect. Jennifer
