I think parents need to stop defending their kids even if they just "received" it. Hell, I can tell you for sure in my house if my son received this message and DIDNT report it to me or the school, I would have ZERO problem with him being suspended for it. A lesson in "if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem." This is the problem, parents jump to defend their children instead of teaching them consequences for their actions or in this case inaction.
Absolutely 100% agree. You said this so much better than my jumbled mess above!
Agree 100%! Children and young adults (and even adults) need to learn that actions and inactions have consequences and it isn't okay to just do nothing. We, as adults, also need to teach our children and young adults how to do the right thing because doing the right thing is sometimes the hardest and most unpleasant choice of them all but that doesn't mean you get to skip it then.

Kings Park Sexting Scandal - High School
I agree with some sort of a punishment depending on if it was forwarded or not. Just not the broad stroke it was doled out. Suspension for deleting it is B.S and I stand by that. Suspension stays on their records for something they had no control over receiving and can impact their future beyond just teaching a lesson. Maybe community service at a facility relative to sexual exploitation etc for not reporting it to the school or their parents. This way they understand why their inaction is wrong. We cant treat them like minors and adults interchangeably on issues when we feel like it.
ETA: I wonder how old the girl was?

Is it even constitutional for the school to require official reporting by kids who may not even have watched it or known what it was or who stopped watching when they realized? Compelled speech by a public school? With suspension as a penalty?

The children were not suspended for receiving the text; the children who received it and did NOTHING were suspended for not reporting it as dictated by the Code of Conduct and the Dignity for all Students act. The kids that received the text should have reported just like a kid that watches another kid get bullied is responsible for reporting it or a parent who witnesses a child being abused is responsible for reporting It's NOT okay to take the stance of 'not my problem" and shrug off any responsibility just because you didn't forward it. Standing by and doing nothing when it is clear that those standing by should have been doing something - that type of blind ignorance needs to have a consequence.

Re: Kings Park Sexting Scandal - High School
We witnessed something very similar this weekend. The kids who live in the house across the street from us have friends over or a party every weekend. The last two weeks we have cleaned used condoms up off our lawn and this Saturday night we were woken up because 2 kids were having sex in their car in front of our house and their friends thought it a good idea to bang on the Windows, yell, harass and yes video tape their friends in the act. My husband and I went out there, the police were called and you better believe I spoke with the parents the next morning.
Whether they actively participate or not it speaks VOLUMES when kids are friends with people who act like that and or think it is ok to pass along such a video.

Did you read what I wrote in its entirety? I said there should be punishment but not suspension which will become part of their permanent record. I didnt say no punishment... there's a difference. Specifically for those who received it, deleted it but not forward or tell an adult. Those who forwarded it deserve suspension.

All three kids in the video were fourteen.
I went back and read the article. It said nothing about these kids seeing the video then deleting it. It talked about them gathered around their phones at the lunch tables watching it, though.
The Dignity for All Students Act requires them to report things like this, and this has been beaten into their heads since elementary school that they MUST tell an adult. Obviously we're not telling elementary students to report sex videos, but I did a whole lesson last year on computer safety starting in Kindergarten. These were high schoolers. It floors me that TWENTY of them didn't know any better.
These kids were, essentially, in possession of child porn and told no one.

I fully agree and I also don't buy this excuse about it affecting college. Unless you are the valedictorian and applying to some very exclusive schools they will be just fine. I never heard of anyone's lives being ruined because they did a dumb thing in high school and got suspended for it.

Kings Park Sexting Scandal - High School
Geez Louise. Shouldn't even be up for a debate. I mean come the **** on. This girl was violated. Plain and ******* simple. People - kids - kill themselves over this. She's ******* 14. Imagine this was your kid. Imagine.
And some parents are boo hoo'ing that their shit kid received it, told no one, and went on about their day. Give me a break. If my kid did that, life would be worse at home, believe me. Kids make mistakes. Their brains aren't fully formed (the judgment zone) until 25? 26? Still not a reason not to punish them.
It's a teachable moment.
I'll say this. I was in high school - maybe 10th grade or so. I had a conversation on AOL with "friends" about a boy. Those wicked assholes printed it out and showed everyone. It was completely innocent - nothing like this - and I was destroyed beyond belief. I can't IMAGINE what this poor girl is going through.
Throw the book at them all and teach them all a lesson. If you hang with scumbags you get dirty. Life lesson.
Whatever led her to engage in this needs to be examined too. But I still would call her a victim in this.

Watching it and passing it along are punishable. But receiving and deleting?
If she was too young to give consent, how were kids who were never told about any duty to report old enough to intuit that they had one?
Unless they were told?
I would assume they've been told. School districts have been required to provide DASA training to students and staff for the last 4-5 years. Literally every single year, my school goes over the implications of bullying and sexting. Sexting between teens is technically legal although reflects poor judgment, but forwarding the sext is illegal.

I'd be interested to know the answer. And then what about kids who deleted it without opening it? Or who didn't know what it was, but deleted it when it got weird? Under this rule, someone could frame someone they hated or barely knew just by sending them the text. Plus, I am not sure that by virtue of having a phone, the kids could be compelled to speak or be punished. It sounds like a constitutional violation.

For the most part, it doesn't affect college. Kids do stupid $hit and colleges realize this. If they express remorse and demonstrate in their statements that they've learned from their mistakes, it won't impact their admission - including to really good schools. (I seriously doubt that every single Harvard freshman has a spotless disciplinary record). Unless they're convicted of drug charges, it doesn't affect financial aid.

The football team never got the text.....uhhhh okayyy . Really cant take the district seriously in how they handled this "fairly" and based on their code of conduct.
ETA: I feel badly for this generation. Social media, cell phones are taking away their innocence. Their mistakes dont just play out at school--it can play out globally.

If someone opened it and turned off or just deleted it because they were uncomfortable should have opened their mouths and told someone. That is the problem. By doing nothing they are just has guilty as those that watched it. As far as the schools, they need to do training with their students and I hope because of this they have to do more but regardless of what the school teaches and doesn't teach, it is up to the parents to make sure your children know the laws. Any parent that gives their child a phone/internet access/texting and does not have a conversation about appropriate and inappropriate behavior is shameful.

I wholeheartedly disagree that kids who didn't view it/deleted are just as guilty. The law places no affirmative duty on bystanders to help or intervene in a crime. As long as you are not furthering a crime then you are not responsible for stopping it. Obviously, this is why these aren't being charged. I understand that the school has different standards but while it important to teach and educate kids about these issues we cannot expect them to have the decision making capabilities of an adult. Would every kid out there know that this video is tantamount to bullying? These kids don't view the victim as a minor but rather a peer - they are not viewing from the same perspective that we, as adults, view it. Should those that are guilty of creating and forwarding this video be punished? Absolutely! But those that did not forward it or view it? I don't think so. There has to be some intent - some "mens rea" if you will. Adults turn a blind eye to stuff everyday (not saying it is right) so why are we expecting more from kids and potentially ruining the futures of kids for not reporting something they may not even realize they were responsible for reporting.

Not across the board, though, right? I mean, they can't compel children to say the pledge of allegiance. Can they really compel a child who has no interest in viewing or forwarding something to speak up about something they received out of school? I think that legally, it's an interesting issue.

I agree word for word and I have a kid in the Smithtown school district (the 2 boys who were arrested were from Smithtown).
Here's another fact that was not widely reported, everybody knew about this. In addition, both districts sent out robo calls to parents reminding them to be aware of their kids social media/cell phones. This happened a few days before the actual suspensions.
I'm thrilled that Kings Park was proactive. Districts don't want to deal with this unless they have no choice. Smithtown, should have acted as ethically.
In terms of the punishments meted out and their fairness, I really believed that when the dusts settles that will likewise be handled in a equitable manner. It sounds like there may have been some unfairness, but lets remember it was the parents that brought the press in. One father in particular, sent his kid into the building and then after he was escorted out by the police, put him on camera, where the kid admitted that he watched the video. What kind of a parent does that???
I believe that when all is said and done, many of these suspensions will be expunged and the kids will do some sort of community service or participate in an assembly regarding social media.
But, understand, everyone knew and this video was widely being circulated and watched in the hallways and lunch rooms of both schools.

Kings Park Sexting Scandal - High School
How does the school know if a child reported it to their parent and the parent ultimately decided to do nothing?
I'm sure there are a good amount of parents who would tell their child to mind their own business if their son or daughter approached them and told them there was a video circulating of two kids fooling around ( and didn't have explicit details that it was sex, The age of the kids, etc)

Re: Kings Park Sexting Scandal - High School
Posted by Katareen
How does the school know if a child reported it to their parent and the parent ultimately decided to do nothing?
I'm sure there are a good amount of parents who would tell their child to mind their own business if their son or daughter approached them and told them there was a video circulating of two kids fooling around ( and didn't have explicit details that it was sex, The age of the kids, etc)
It really doesn't matter what the parents did or didn't do. The suspensions were predicated on violation of the school code of conduct and the Dignity Act.
The video is purportedly sexual in nature. The girl is having a Vape inserted into her vagina while the other boy recorded it.
They were all reportedly drunk/high and it happened at a party. IMO, that's the conversation that needs to be happening, where the hell was this party and where the hell were the parents.
And, for the record, shame on any parent who chose to ignore this.

But does the code state that a teacher must be told, or just an adult??
