People will defend pornography and obscenity to the death under the guise of First Amendment rights. And then they're shocked when this stuff happens. We need to take note that the trend for kids documenting and distributing this stuff did not follow the advent of cameras and video recorders. It came after the explosion of internet pornography. But our society refuses to address that scourge.

I totally agree with you

In this example a kid was skateboarding down a road asking the girls to make out for him, at 12 years old.....and then it all went down hill. What the heck is going on with this world?

Why are 6th graders even allowed to have a FB account? They are much too immature and vulnerable.

It gets worse thanks to iCatly. Pedos pretending to be girls are daring kids to make foot fetish videos on YouTube. Parents need to monitor kid internet usage if they allow the child to commit fraud when they break the age rule which us usually 13.

Things like this will increasingly become more common as technology marches on. Video conferencing will be on the Wii, X Box and the like soon enough.

Yep, especially when their signing up is a violation of Facebook's TOS, and also a violation of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998.

But why blame irresponsible parents for letting their immature children illegally sign up for adult websites, when you can blame pornography instead.
