beer Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 A NEW Facebook craze where teenagers take near-naked photos of themselves has cyber-safety experts horrified. The Sneaky Hat trend has been branded a ''paedophile's paradise'' and involves mostly young people posing in nothing but a hat covering their genitals.Countless Facebook pages and other sites, open for anyone to see, have sprung up showing male and female teens in provocative poses after reportedly originating at a Queensland highschool.Cyber safety campaigner Susan Mclean said contributors to the fad were not only staining their futures but risking child pornography charges.''It's no use saying its just fun, it's harmless fun, the consequences can be quite severe,” she said.''It is going to end in tears and those pictures - it's not like sending it on your phone to your boyfriend who may or may not send it on - this is on www (world wide web).“They're on public sites, anyone can see them and people are posting them with their names, they're proud of the photos,'' Ms Mclean, founder of Cyber Safety Solutions said.A Queensland Police spokesperson said they were monitoring the trend but a Victoria Police spokesperson said there had been no reports they knew of in Victoria.Incidents of teenagers being charged with possessing child pornography are growing and include a group of Colac Secondary College students who filmed a sexual act in their school gym.''Children under the age of 18 all over Australia are routinely being charged with child pornography offences,'' Ms Mclean, an ex-police officer, said.The craze has spawned spin-offs such as girls and boys-only sites, and location-specific groups such as ‘Sneaky Hat Brisbane'.Ms Mclean said that as well as creating a “haven for paedophiles'' the photos would ruin participants' career prospects.(source) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myidisbb Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 as long as there is no acutally private body part shown it is not child porn. on a side note men have been sent to jail for taking a photo/video of a fully clothed children. they had shitty lawyers. the usa child porn laws need to be changed. is not a photo art? is not blue lagoon and other movies protected free speech? a nude photo should not be consider porn unless is a sexual posse aim at showing that certain part ect off.a picture of yourself as a naked baby shouldnt get you jail time (actually happen to some guy because his girlfriend broke up and told the police he had a photo of his azz as a baby in his wallet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think unless these facebook teens are portraying a sexual act or luring other minors into doing something sexual in nature then it is hard to justify as porn. If this wasn't the case then people photographed wearing very sexy bikinis, lingerie, and customs would need to be jailed as well.When that day comes, it would be time to become a warden :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
