a strange court ruling

[Island Son]

16-year old girl and her 17 year old bf take pics of themselves having sex.
She sends it to his email account. Neither of them show the pics to anyone else.
Snoopy parents read the email, call police.
Both kids are arrested, charged with "producing, directing or promoting a photograph featuring the sexual conduct of a child". The boy gets an additional charge of possessing child porn. They are both convicted.

That is kinda weird.

HOORAY, for their fucked up parents for now giving them both a conviction that will haunt them.

Actually you'd think the parents should be fined up the yingyang for their kids' actions.... Don't you think if a kid was messing around w/ matches and burned down an apt building , the parents would get nailed for negligence?

I agree with Sassy.Sure they can sit back and charge the 17 year old as an adult.However the 16 year old is merely a child. The parents should have to bear a little of the weight here on this one.

The 17-year old was also legally a child....

yeah you're right, you'd think the parents would be charged with negligence, to even it out!

Well I know here in Ma it all depends on the nature of the crime and how the DA is feeling that day.Some 17 yr old gets treated like children but the majority is all treated like adults. Which I can not understand. Cannot smoke, cannot buy beer, cannot drive without adult present, cannot any thing..Yet they can be tried as adults when they get into trouble..
yes it should be the parents responsibility. Where were they while their kids were doing this shit, and where did the kids learn it from?!
