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

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

I did some crazy shit on the internet when I was 13. Kids tend to be more tech savvy than their parents, which makes it easy for them to circumvent most forms of monitoring.

So, let me get this right - it's perfectly fine, and to be expected, for the parents of all of these kids to be *completely oblivious* to what they're doing online? That absolves the parents of all responsibility?

I think in cases where parents don't have that relationship of trust with their kids they ARE going to be oblivious, just like in the good old days they were oblivious to what actually happened when the kids were hanging out while they were at work

And there's no easy way to fix that without damaging those bonds of trust further Adolescents react really poorly to helicoptering
