As I was reading down through the post's to this thread I was thinking a similar thought. How does this supposed principal know there are nude photos on this phone? Was the boy dumb enough to have it saved as the background of his phone? I would hope he was smarter then that. So if this was not the case the principal went searching through the phone specifically to see what was on it. So he then should be in some sort of privacy violation shouldn't he?
This just drives me crazy that parents these days are just giving their kids cell phones. I didn't have one till i was 18 and able to get it on my own and pay for it myself. I see the benefits of having one but there are so many options out there that they don't have to have a phone with all the bells and whistles.
Now I'm not going to lie, I have myself sent provocative photos via picture messaging before and probably still will to my significant other. But I would educate my children about all these types of things and by no means would I even let them know I did a such a thing.
I personally send the photo then delete it and I have the hopes the the person receiving the photo sees it then does the same eventually. Only because of the many reasons for it to no be found on your phone. or if you have a phone that you can hide files then damn it do so.
Knowing that sometime in the next 5 to 7 years I will possibly be having children of my own; articles like these make me not want to even consider the possibility and this is on of the minor problems to look out for. Kids are just growing up way to fast and our society is not helping one bit.
