Very well said.


I agree.

So, if they had a more socially common party, there might have been spin-the-bottle or truth-and-dare, both of which could escalate well beyond the boundaries placed on a performance by adult entertainers. Both of these games can also play out in ways that lead to stigmatization or bullying for kids who don't exactly fit in. However, assuming the kids are all near each other's age everything here would be perfectly legal.

long before the internet, sleepover parties or (slumber parties) were fraught with the cliche of looking at the mags have found in the woods or films taken from their dad's sock drawer.

Without knowing the full details of the situation and the mother's motivations I think it is too difficult to determine or adequately adjudicate situations like this.

There is nothing gray about this case. If anything in law is a slam-dunk, this is.

Forgive me if I don't see the societal benefit to locking any of these people up. What would be the point? More lives ruined by the "justice" system, more expense for the taxpayers, and more desperate people more likely to turn to actual crime in the future. We're not Puritans anymore, can the moral BS and focus on real problems.

It's not like there is a shortage of prisoners in the US.

/\ No wonder.

If this had been in my native country of Denmark (or a hell of a lot of countries other than the US) I doubt there would be any legal repercussions whatsoever... Perhaps a fine, at worst...

I see this case as a prime candidate for the "not worth my time" stack on a police officer's desk...
