So teens get charged with a felony and Weiner has a press conference to admit what he did and he goes back to Congress? Really? Is that how our system is suppose to work?
A 15-year-old boy and girl have been arrested after teachers found that the girl had texted a topless photo of herself.
Police were called after the boy told a teacher at the school in Brooksville, Florida, that he had forwarded a cell phone picture of the girl’s breast.
Both were charged with transmission of pornography by electronic device and taken to Hernando County Jail before being released on bail.
The boy told the school that he had forwarded the photo to another boy on May 27 and was afraid to go to school after he had been threatened for spreading the photo.
The photo came to the attention of the school when the boy’s mother reported the threats.
The Florida Senate has voted to decriminalize the sending of sexually explicit text messages, photos or videos via cell phone or other devices by minors.
But the new law has yet to be signed by Governor Rick Scott.
Under the new bill, minors found guilty of sexting would face non-criminal penalties for a first offence, punishable by eight hours of community service and a $60 fine.
At present, minors can be charged with felonies and sentenced as sex offenders if found guilty of sending nude or sexually explicit photos or videos to another minor using computers or cell phones.
Weiner should resign or be removed from Congress.
