Mobile Monitoring

Teenagers in the modern world are constantly using their cell phones and are recieving cell phones at younger ages with each generation. Text messages can become vulgar and sexual. Because of these types of messages more and more teenagers are getting arrested for child pornography and are having to be registered as sex offenders. This offense will be on their record permanently and will follow them where ever they go in the near future. Sending nude pictures to one's girlfriend/boyfriend is also considered child pornography and is a federal offense. More programs such as My Mobile Watchdog and My Mobile Spy are developing and becoming more active in today's society. Parents are taking the innitiative to keep an eye on their child's use of his/her cell phone. They want to be aware of how their children are acting towards others and how others are treating their children.

This whole sex offender, child pornography case is getting way out of hand for me. I do not understand while people my own age are using their privaledge of technology to harm themselves by sending nude pictures of themselves out to the entire world. I just am dumbfounded by this. I do not understand why someone would want to expose themselves in that way and ruin their reputation and their self respect. Maybe it's just me, but my morals are far from that. I surely do not want to be registered as a sex offender and have that on my record for the rest of my life. I would rather play it safe and stick to my beliefs in life. This kind of thing brings out more harm than necessary. This is because a child takes a nude picture of theirself, sends to their current boyfriend/girlfriend, who then shows his/her friends to act cool. Then everyone ends up seeing the picture and ridicules the child who sent it in the first place. That child is then pained with grief and could do harmful things such as commit suicide. This crime is getting way out of hand and needs to be stopped now.
