The Essay on Sex Offenders: Release into Society
As sex offenders are being released back into society, our sex offender registry laws must be revisited to ensure the safety of our communities. There are more than 650,000 registered sex offenders living among us in the United States today, but some of these are juveniles that are labeled sex offenders and should fall under a different category because their sexual behaviors were consensual ( ...
Change life forever c. Convict gang rapists and pedophiles My 16 year old teenage daughter has ran in the house so fast to use the bathroom that she has thrown her backpack on the couch and her cell phone has landed on the floor. It works out for me because I need a phone number from her contacts. To my surprise the first thing I see is a picture of some 15 year olds penis. She tells me it is her best friend’s boyfriend’s picture that he has sent to her best friend who in turn sent it to my all too curious, naive daughter.
I wonder if I tell her that if caught prosecuted and convicted she would be the popular high school sex offender and the only felon on the high school cheerleading squad. While there certainly should be punishment for teens that send explicit pictures on their telephones, treating them like pedophiles or hardened sex offenders goes too far. The laws are strict and different in each county. Teenagers under age 18 who photograph and send images of their own bodies in nude, sexualized poses can be charged with production and distribution of child pornography.
Anyone to whom they send those images can be charged with possession of child pornography, even if the sender of the image wanted them to have it. The age of consent is 16. This means a 16-year-old girl can legally have sex with her boyfriend (or girlfriend) but if she films it, or if she photographs her own breasts and sends that image to her partner, she can be prosecuted. How can a person be charged for photographing their own body? And how can they be considered both the victim and the perpetrator of the same crime?
These teens are our neighbors, our kid’s, and they work in our community. Once my daughter is a convicted sex offender it will jeopardize her future. The path she was supposed to take will be closed, for good. Child pornography laws were put in place to protect children, not to criminalize teenage sexuality. And what good can come from grouping sexually curious teenagers in with convicted gang rapists and pedophiles? If a picture stays between the taker and its recipient there is no reason to prosecute.
If prosecution is necessary there should be different punishments on a case by case basis. Not only does this ruin their lives unnecessarily, but it also undermines the power and authority of the sex offender register. This register is a free service provided by Family Watchdog to give us a chance to see who we are hiring, who our daughter is dating, or who moved in next to our young children. Not to warn us that about the un advised kid who thought his penis was bigger than his friends, and sent a picture to prove it.
The Term Paper on Sex in the Media
Anyone who turns on the TV today can see that sex is a big factor in TV shows, commercials and just about everything on TV. Even shows that are intended for young children have some innuendos and even show kissing. The media in America has changed and continues to change how the youth and children of America view sex and its value. This paper will use examples of current shows in the media is ...
Let’s save the register and the felonies for the dangerous pedophiles we hardly hear about. Hopefully I can start to teach all my children how to act properly on their cell phones, and schools need to hold assembly’s to inform the other kids. We have too much in this day of technology, drugs, and violence to lose our kids to let’s not lose them to this. There are ways to punish our teens for sexting, but corporally is a bit overboard, they are love sick teens not child offenders or pedophile’s we should punish accordingly.
