Today should be Cooper's second birthday. "

As a mother and grandmother of 2 (1 is a 26 months old boy) this breaks my heart and brings tears to my eyes. This should have been a day of celebration. My thoughts and prayers so out to CH's family.

Oh, yes, that's right. He was born on August 2, 2012. Brings tears to my eyes too.

Happy Birthday, Cooper! Rest in peace, BabyBoy. :rose: :rose::rose:

I don't throw my comments out offhandedly, and am not intimidated by gang retaliation. I am totally against "Salem witch trials" in the court of public opinion.

I think we have established the fact that most people posting here have total faith and trust in LE, and that I don't. Once the evidence has been collected and presented by them, their involvement in the case should be over, and we can focus on the details of the death of an innocent child and not cops. Right?

:chillout:

Evie no one is "ganging up on you". Believe me, I don't participate in that sort of sheeple mindset, and I will defend any individual who is being unfairly ganged up on.

As far as the "Salem Witch Trials" comment goes....lol...yeah I can sympathize with you there.

You are free to speak your opinion and FACTS are always welcome.

And how is life going to get complicated for the cell phone companies? Harris' sexting was released to the media over a month ago. No blame has befallen the phone company so far. Sexting isn't the fault of the phone company, responsibility is totally on the shoulders of the husband, father church-going slacker who did the texts.

JMO, of course.

[modsnip] this comment was part of a conversation where the idea of sexting being considered as was being disputed by several members. I happen to think it is and made a couple of comments to that effect.

According to most reports, "sexting" is a problem with underage cell phone users that hasn't yet been sorted out legally.

If sexting by minors was to be classified as , cell phone companies / internet companies may find themselves in a precarious position. Are you familiar with the consequences to companies who produce a product that comes under public scrutiny? I could go into more detail, but that's kind of O/T to this forum.

The conversation was about whether or not sexting is classified as , not whether the phone company was responsible for RH's sexting.

1 bbm I don't

2 bbm orange Is this fact, Link please, or just your opine.

3 bbm I don't think sexting is just a young person thing and I would never consider sexting and as one in the same, never.

Not sure where you're coming from with this? Are you defending sexting as "okay", a benign activity? Since I don't know, I can't really respond in a way to answer your questions.

I think if you did an internet query to find more about the generally accepted definitions, legal implications, etc., you will find that the majority of returns on the query relate to underage sexting.

As far as what I said about the younger generation having more stimulation from technology and wanting more from than still images--no that's not "opine"--I guess that's coming from what I know based on my age. We didn't have pc's, laptops, internet, video games or cell phones (not even x-boxes) when I was a kid, it seems that I see more and more technology being available to each new generation of kids. I suppose if you're a younger person who has had computers since you were in diapers, you wouldn't understand where I'm coming from with that comment. Maybe research the history of computers/video games/cell phones to get a flavor for how rapidly technology has evolved? There's just too much info out there on that, and I'm not sure of the starting point for your disagreement with me is--don't want to turn the conversation of whether "younger people get more stimulation from electronic technology than others before them did" into a long discussion. [modsnip] It would help you to understand why this is a problem that is fairly recent and hasn't been dealt with at the family level or legally yet.

As THIS case will be decided relevant to Georgia Law, the issue really, is how is sexting defined under GA law and how is defined under GA law. Good information and discussion in the Relationship with minor thread. JMO

It looks like there is a difference of opinion going on in here. When that occurs, discussing each other is not an option.

These are your options:

- Alert the post, without responding to the post

- Use the ignore feature, without announcing that's what you are doing

- Scroll on by

- Move to another thread until the conversation loops around to something you'd like to discuss

- Agree to disagree and post about something else you've observed

- Take a deep breath, find your inner peace, and view the picture below:

Wanted to acknowledge Cooper Harris Birthday today. My thoughts are with those who loved him and are feeling this day. So much that should have been and won't.

GG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I apologize, I didn't realize there was some sort of debate. It is and isn't illegal if shared between consenting adults. It is was sorted out legally decades ago in the Communications Decency Act. The phone company has immunity from liability. This link gives an overview:

Second, Section 230 of the Act has been interpreted to say that operators of Internet services are not to be construed as publishers (and thus not legally liable for the words of third parties who use their services).

Passed by Congress on February 1, 1996, and signed by President Bill Clinton on February 8, 1996, the CDA imposed criminal sanctions on anyone who

knowingly (A) uses an interactive computer service to send to a specific person or persons under 18 years of age, or (B) uses any interactive computer service to display in a manner available to a person under 18 years of age, any comment, request, suggestion, proposal, image, or other communication that, in context, depicts or describes, in terms patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards, sexual or excretory activities or organs.

It further criminalized the transmission of materials that were "obscene or indecent" to persons known to be under 18.

Thanks for this cute pic, Kimster. It made me smile. I love how the kitten is looking at the mouse, lol.

small detail that I feel will be made into a huge one at trial. RH alleged "no sense of smell" comment made to a coworker.

LOL. Can't remember which thread they are in, but older pictures of him show him wearing glasses (not sunglasses) and so I think they are prescription glasses only because usually people wear them in class photos because they wear them all the time. JMO Poor guy, does ANYTHING work? JMO

bbm In order for me to continue I have to ask, Is it your opinion that a image of a vagina on a cell phone is ? It's a yes or no TIA

 

[cady]

Thanks ginger that is hilarious! (RE yearbook photo). I fell for it. Still laughing.............JMO

my opinion of it totally depends on the context of the conversation and the intent of the person who published it. No different than if the photo is in a medical textbook or Playboy Magazine. The Detective testified that RH violated the law when sexting with the minor. He hasn't been charged but apparently the professional opinion of the officer was that it was pornographic content.
