Teen Sexting Laws - 0 views

  •  
    Funnell, Nina. "There's No Shame in Teenage Sextual Relations." The Sydney Morning Herald. N.p., 10 Sept. 2011. Web. 27 Feb. 2013. . This opinion piece was written by a women named Nina Funnell and published into the Sydney Morning Herald. It states her opinions on teenage sexting and the sentences and punishment those taking the photos and sending the photos should receive. She believes that the people who take pictures of themselves and send them should not be charged, that people charged with sexting shouldn't fall in the same category as molesters and pedophiles, that sexually filming others without their permission should be illegal and charged the same way regardless of the age of the victim, and that all sexting should have universal charges instead of deciding on the charge depending on how bad the picture or video was. I agree with a majority of the points that Funnell makes except when she says that people that take pictures of their own body and send them around shouldn't be prosecuted. If you're going to be so strict on the child pornography part in all this, you have to accept that fact that naked pictures of a minor is child pornography no matter who sends it. I have little pity for girls who take pictures of themselves and send it around because they did it to themselves. They deserved to be charged just like the rest of people that send naked photos of underage people around.

The circumcision went very wrong and resulted in Bruce no longer being a male at all. The parent's decided that if they tried to raise their son as a girl, then he might just act as a girl since he doesn't know any differently. They pay to have doctor's give their son a full sex change and put him on hormones to help him with his transformation. So, Bruce became Brenda and was raised as that. All throughout Brenda's childhood she was bullied and called names like "caveman" and "it." At the age of 12, Brenda was finally told by her parents that she wasn't actually a girl. After being told the full story, Brenda/Bruce changed his name to David and had 4 rounds of reconstructive surgery to physically make him a male again. In may of 2004, David was still grieving the loss of his twin brother, lost his job, and divorced his wife. On May 4, 2004 David Reimer committed suicide at the age of 38.
