Description
KATELYN WAS 15 YEARS OLD and in love with her 16-year-old boyfriend, Dillon. So, when he asked her to take a naked picture of herself with her cell phone and send it to him, she did. She thought this would be something just the two of them could share and that doing so would show him how much she loved him. But when Dillon broke up with her three weeks later, she started noticing kids at her school giggling behind her back. She soon realized why this was happening when her two best friends came to her and showed her their cell phones, which contained the picture she had sent to Dillon. Her friends told her that the picture had been forwarded to them from their boyfriends and that almost everyone in school had seen the photo or now had it on their phone. For months after that, Katelyn was teased and ridiculed by the other students. She was called printable names like slut, whore, and easy, as well as other names not as printable. Katelyn was devastated. Her grades dropped and she no longer wanted to go to school or socialize with other kids like she used to. Her parents were baffled. Fourteen-year-old Heather was dating John, her 16-year-old boyfriend. She asked him to take a picture, with her cell phone, of her performing oral sex on him. Heather sent a copy of the picture only to John and he was discrete enough not to share that picture with anyone else, but he did not delete it from his cell phone. John took the cell phone to school and was caught text messaging during class in violation of school policy. The cell phone was confiscated and school personnel believed it to be necessary to look through the phone and found the picture. School authorities decided to report the matter to the police and to contact John's parents. His parents wanted the police to also investigate whether charges should be filed against Heather as the picture was taken at her request with her cell phone.
