This kinda goes hand in hand with the "Crazy Things Kids are Arrested For" thread.
I was on the phone with my dad when my little sisters school called. Dad took the call and it was the police!!!!
Apparently some grown man sent sissy naked pics of himself, and she took it to her teacher, who took it to the principal, who in turn called the police.
Now sis swears she does not know this person at all. So either someone she knows gave her number out or it was phished, or it's a miss dial. But here's the thing it does not matter at all. Even if this guy was sending the text to his ADULT Girlfriend/Boyfriend and got sis by mistake he is going to be arrested for sexting to a minor and placed in jail, on charges ranging from Lewd and lascivious behavior involving a minor using electronics to commit the act and a host of other charges.
In our home state SEXTING is a crime, sexting between adults and minors is a felony. If this was a simple mistake this guy will be placed on the sex offenders list.
Don't get me wrong the laws should be tougher on the sickos but what if it was a honest mistake? Is there any forgiveness for that?
Now I am all for protecting our kids, and if he meant to send this to sis I want him hung out to dry. But, on the same hand if all he did was hit a wrong key so that it went to sis instead of his Girlfriend/Boyfriend I'd hate to see his life ruined over it.
I guess that is why even as a teenager my son still only has an AMIGO cellphone. He can call me, his dad and the sitter and that is it. No one can call him unless it is one of the three numbers allowed by the phone plan and there is no texting service on that phone either. Just seems safer that way.
I'll have to update this once the police finish their investigation, I should know more soon.
