Some sixth grade students at Hillsdale Elementary School in North Highlands, California, may face felony charges for child porn for passing around a naked photo of a female classmate (video below).

The Twin Rivers School District said that the nude photo had been sent to cell phones of some students who forwarded it to more cell phones and posted to a Facebook group.

Hillsdale Elementary School principal Renee Scott-Femenella called the Twin Rivers Police Department over the incident, reports CBS Sacramento.

"That is my major concern, is that the school is not communicating with us, the parents." said an unidentified parent.

"This is becoming a very serious issue among juveniles, because parents are buying the kids smartphones," said criminal defense attorney Jennifer Mouzi.

"In an effort to teach students about Internet safety, the Hillsdale principal and a TRDPD officer have met with both sixth-grade classrooms to clearly let students know about the illegality of sending or posting inappropriate photos," said the Twin Rivers School District in a statement

treat the symptoms not the cause...

Never works. Go after the parents. All this will do is feed the corporate DOJ system and create yet more criminals that are tossed aside by society. Another new low for this country yay. Start young is no longer a sick comment said among pedos. Now its common place for DOJ.

The school to prison pipeline at work.

To actually sit there straight faced, and say, "This is a felony", is disgraceful!

IMHO this is normal behavior for children who are more than likely beginning puberty. It's not much worse than the kid down the block showing off naughty pictures of of his parents.

Here's a good but short video "The Truth about school".

True, but the other aspect is the encroachment of spy cameras everywhere, yes 'smartphones' with their little cameras have been used on women for the 'upskirt' market for many years, but when little kids see their federal government doing this to everyone and yet their local officials tell them it's 'wrong', then the hypocrisy might seem a little confusing for the kids. Obviously their teachers haven't yet instructed them in the ways of life in an empire where one quickly learns to 'Do as I say, Not as I do.'

How About...

...any charges be preferred to the Adults in this scenario. Start with the Parents although the Parents may be busy working to provide for their Children and have given the Children a mobile phone for ease of contact - in case the parents need to assist their Child.

Next let's look at the internet, television, advertising, magazines, movies and everywhere that highly sexualised images of humans are displayed. Perhaps the highly paid CEOs of the six multi national corporations - who control all mainstream media need to be held accountable.

The Children are subject to their societal environment - how could any charges possibly be laid upon a Child?? Psycopaths, sociopaths and narcissists in action yet again.

Much Peace...to Children everywhere...
