I’m sorry, you think the “everyone involved #” should be held responsible? The girls he abused should be held responsible for ... what, exactly?

Replying to @alixplicitly @Cosmosasaurus
What I'm talking about here is parental supervision and actual charges being filed. What kind of parent lets their kid send nudes to some boy on snapchat? What kind of parent doesn't do anything about bullying to the point of suicide?

The State of KS doesn't file criminal charges against minors under the age of 14 (a law which, all in all, I agree with) and seals juvenile disciplinary records after the age of 18, so we don't really know anything about what went down legally with those cases

Replying to @arthur_affect @browren and
The incident with the nude pic apparently happened when he was 12 and the girl was 13 She did not send the pic to him consensually, he obtained it through some illicit means I find the "How did they let her send nudes?" line of argument very close to victim blaming

It's parent blaming. Do you really think 12 and 13 year olds should have snapchat accounts without a parent monitoring them??? Hell, 12 year olds aren't even supposed to be using the site.

I think it's much harder for parents to keep everything their kids do on a leash than you seem to, especially if both parents are working, especially when it comes to the Internet

For this to have happened entirely in secret from parents, both the 12 and 13 year old would have needed to secretly acquire internet-capable devices with cameras and unmonitored internet connections. That seems highly unlikely.

Not really, and if you think it is you overestimate a lot of parents' familiarity with tech and underestimate how dependent everyone is at every age on tech

Oh, I know just fine how much dependence there is - the schools hand out iPads these days, there's a laptop shortage - however, the internet connections of those devices are monitored by the school. They would have said something to the parents at the very least.

Again, we don't know exactly what went down and we're not really entitled to know For his part, Coleman says his dad was melting down constantly due to untreated mental illness and his mom was essentially a struggling single parent, and I see no reason to disbelieve him

Of course I wish this hadn't happened because parents had acted differently but acting like parents can magically prevent everything a 13- or 14-year-old does gives way too much credit to their agency and way too little to the kid
