"What we're aiming at was a growing problem that we were seeing amongst juveniles and that was they were committing some very serious adult-like crimes," he said.

ysi?

"licking valley"?

this happens in the documentary American Teen

not the child porn charges though

The Licking Valley Local School District will employ and maintain a high quality staff through professional development and annual evaluation.

Authorities haven't decided yet whether to charge the phone owners with possession of child porn, but those who also distributed the image to others could face separate charges for distributing illegal material. If charged and convicted, they might be required to register as a sex offender, which will stay on their record for years.
"The bottom line is that kids need to realize there can be unintended consequences from this type of behavior,'' Livingston County Prosecutor David Morse told the Ann Arbor News.

yes clearly the best way to teach kids the consequences of their actions is to make them register as sex offenders.

I myself have been able to maintain a high quality staff through licking valley. /HI DERE

^__^

pix or it didn't happen

Licking Valley? What did they expect to happen, raising children in a town named THAT?

The only thing hotter than a hot 15 year old is a hot 15 year old who is a convicted sex offender.

Bonertime is here!

prosecuting teenage boys who have taken pictures of their own penis will easily double the national prison population.

We can exchange our stereotype of being a nation of obesity sufferers to being a nation of sex offenders

"over 67% of americans have shared digital photographs of their privates with minors"

Licking Valley!

i cannot even believe the name of that high school lol wtf haha

"This is a very serious crime, young lady. Are you listening to me? I mean it."

"Look at me when I am talking to you. Do you understand what you've done?"

...

"Wipe that silly smile off your face. If you don't do it, I'll do it for you. Do you hear me? That does it! Seargent! Book this young lady for child pornography. Yes. Now. And be sure to mug shot and fingerprint her."

The more you read it over and over, the more 'Licking Valley' has a sort of hypnotic effect...

I've had 3 children graduate from LVHS. My only complaint was the favoritism with the guidance counselor with scholarships and overall the college guidance was non-existent.

LVHS offers quality academic programs. Currently, all core classes are being tested quarterly in preparation for the OGT. Students that make the honor roll are recognized at an academic assembly for their achievements. Each class is challenged to improve the class percentage of those on the honor roll ... Read more for the next grading period. Twice a month, students are randomly selected to have lunch with the principals to express their concerns--both positive and negative--about the school. Once a month, parents are randomly selected to have breakfast with the principals to express their concerns about the high school and the district. I believe this is an extremely beneficial program that opens the doors to communication, which often is lacking in the high school arena. Read less

i hope her mama got a note from the licking valley p.t.a.

Even stupider is the story linked in the bottom of the article, where two teenagers who shot pictures of themselves having sex were prosecuted for producing child pornography even though they never showed the pictures to anyone else! They tried to appeal, but...

By a 2-1 vote, the appeals court didn't buy it. Judge James Wolf, a former prosecutor, wrote the majority opinion.

Wolf speculated that Amber and Jeremy could have ended up selling the photos to child pornographers ("one motive for revealing the photos is profit") or showing the images to their friends. He claimed that Amber had neither the "foresight or maturity" to make a reasonable estimation of the risks on her own. And he said that transferring the images from a digital camera to a PC created innumerable problems: "The two computers (can) be hacked."

How the hell can you be judged based on something you could've done, but didn't actually do?!

The judge just wanted a butchers, didn't he?

When I was 18, I started dating a girl who was 15 at the time. The official age of consent in Finland is 16, but the law does say that if the age difference between a couple is "reasonably small", the older party shouldn't be prosecuted for having sex with someone under 16. I don't know how strict the Finnish law is with child pornography, but according to the above logic I might've been prosecuted for taking nude photos of her even though it was legal to have sex with her.

i like how their uniforms have helpful directional arrows.

lololol.

according to the above logic I might've been prosecuted for taking nude photos of her even though it was legal to have sex with her.

Tuomas, I understand your general point here, but this isn't the grand logical paradox you're suggesting it is -- there are plenty of things in the world that are legal to do but not to document (and a few arguments could be made that taking nude photos is actually a more significant thing, requiring more judgment, than sleeping with someone)

At the risk of seeming obliviously stupid, what things are legal to do but not document? I mean is there anything else a person can legally do in the privacy of his/her own home but not photograph?

As I recall, the clinching argument for treating the mere possession of child pornography as a crime, rather than as a victimless activity, was that in order to create the images, some child would have to be victimized and sexually exploited, and because such images are quite often purchased, the mere possessor of such images was aiding and abetting this victimization.

This argument falls into soggy shreds when the creator of the image is also the purported victim, the exchange of the image involved no money or other considerations, and no adults entered the transaction.

Which is not to say that the image, if it were to circulate, could not have eventually been sold by scummy adults who could profit by its existance, but prosecuting the child who took the picture is about as absurd as you can get.

well yeah

ps: LICKING VALLEY

Down in the valley, the valley so looooow...

loooool

The teen allegedly sent the photos to friends via her cell phone after a Licking County prosecutor visited her school to discuss the legal repercussions of possessing or sending pornographic images of minors to others.

The most important thing I have learned from this story is that there is a Licking County, OH.

http://www.lcounty.com/

I keep misreading all of this as Licking Cunty

why must you drag every thread into the gutter

haha

i am pretty sure SVU did this already but now it has reached the Jack McCoy level.

Nothing like this ever happens at Flicking Bean Prep.

I have a shirt (that I believe is at my parents' house, sadly) from LICKINGVILLE, PA. it is for a bar (closed in the mid-90s) called the Zig-Zag Bar, located at 69 Beaver St., Lickingville PA.

and as if that wasn't enough, the top of the shirt says: 'here in Lickingville, we're holding our own.' then there's a picture of a deer buck with one hoof grabbing its balls and the other holding a stein of beer. and then the address.

it is possibly the most glorious shirt ever.

We demand to see pictorial evidence.

Also, 'Licking Valley'.

can we please get over this whole licking valley thing and concentrate on the legal issues? I mean grow up people, it's not like the name is licking a cunty valley or something. or valley licking cunty motherfuckers or something like that.

IMMATURE

'Licking Valley'.

maybe that wasn't really her ; )

omg this news story/this thread

ˆmakes you think of.......?

"This is a very serious crime, young lady. Are you listening to me? I mean it."

"Stop flashing your tits, lady. Hold on, let me call my colleague."

licking valley

Oh, I get it.

A kid in my high school got prosecuted for selling a hit of acid to 2 girls. He was 16, they were 15. Therefore, he was busted as a "pusher" who was distributing a controlled substance "to minors". Repercussions were even higher because said action was within one mile of school grounds.

and?

It's the same bullshit of kids getting in trouble for doing illicit things with kids.

licking valley never gets old

unless you're in kingpin

i live near licking valley, for real :(

on a grassy knoll?

on top of blueberry hill

Our nation is obsessed with the holiness and purity of childhood to the point where our own adults never manage to grow up. Remember, this is the country where shit like the Jonas Brothers and High School Musical 5: No Sex Before Death! are #1 smash hits.

High School Musical 6: No valley licking before death!

When I was in highschool, by 15 we were all basically having sex and doing drugs ... that was the only -thing to do-. I feel bad for these fruitcake kids if they actually believe that promise ring Jonas Brothers bullshit. What a waste.

(well, I wasn't having sex, but you get the gist of it)

Funny: There was a survey results, ostensibly about sex, one of the questions was:

Do you think children are more at risk from paedos now than
Q1) 5 years ago y/n
Q2) 10 years ago y/n
Q3) 20 years ago y/n
Q4) 50 years ago y/n

See, my response is that I think they are *less* at risk, as we now know more about it and are more protective. But, that wasn't an option on the questionnaire.

i kinda love burt_stanton

Burt is one of the best posters of 2008

See, my response is that I think they are *less* at risk, as we now know more about it and are more protective.

I don't think they are less at risk, really (and also sadly). Because parents are more protective, pedos probably revert to other strategies. (Have their own kids more than say in the past, internet as a means to lure kids and swap porn,...) But less? Sadly I don't think so. :-( Then again it's very hard to compare really as in the past they didn't report this as much and as a result you can't compare stats or whatever.

Actually I think it's a silly question to ask tbh.

I'm always really freaked out by the bisexual/incest bro'n'sis duo in Hight School Musical.

good morning tiarnan!
