20 Teens Charged In Sexting 'Trading Card' Probe at New Jersey Schools


20 male students at New Jersey high and middle schools have been charged with invasion of privacy after police discovered that the teens (and one 18-year-old who’s been charged as an adult) have been passing around naked pictures of female students, using the photos as a trading card game which at least one parent says the girls were into.

While only one of the teens faces jail time, parents are worried that their children’s futures may be ruined. At least one mother wants the blame to be placed squarely at the feet of the girls who sent nude photos. The mother, who spoke to 6ABC on the condition of anonymity, said that the girls who sent out nude pictures should have known what would happen to them and that if the boys are getting arrested, the girls should be charged equally.

“The girls know that the boys trade them and it’s kind of a game that the girls want to be involved in,” the parent said. She’s not defending her 14-year-old son’s alleged actions, but says it was several girls who shared the photos. No females have been charged.”They need to step back and really take a full look at this. The girls are just as responsible as the boys,” the parent said.
Was it a potentially reckless move to send nudes to teenage boys? Yes. Does that mean the girls should be blamed and be seen as the masterminds behind this game because the nude pictures are of them? Absolutely not. If even one girl (and it sounds like there’s at least one) wasn’t into having her pictures shared with everybody who participated in the “game,” then it’s a violation of her privacy.

1. I resent the inference that the females are stupid. They are not. Everyone...girls and boys alike

are playing a little sex teen game. To suddenly become bashful and ignorant and claim victimhood does a great disservice to the female gender. And no, it's not like rape so I don't want to hear that shit.

Anyone, male or female, who say walks down the street nude is stupid and responsible for the results of their irresponsible behavior. Those who are complicit, again whatever the act, are responsible for their behavior, as well.

2. did anyone force the boys to share the pictures

didn't think so

However, the girls could be charged for sharing child pornography and I have no problem with them being charged if that's the case
