Zach Harvey 6'4" SG 2019

That was the first talk we had to have with our kids when they got phones - no inappropriate pics on your phone because it can put you in jail.

Just strictly reacting to the report and in no way jumping to conclusions should new information come to light, but what percentage of the teenage population would you guess has either had or currently has an explicit photo of a 15-year-old when they themselves are/were only 16?

That’s probably a higher percentage than the underage drinking/smoking pot crowd, right?

I was thinking the same thing. When I saw "multiple felony sex crimes," I was ready to throw him in jail forever. Then, I read that a 16-year old kid was in possession of some sexual content made by a 15-year old girl, and my rage subsided. Still illegal. Still wrong. But I would ask the same question - how many kids today might be charged similarly if you confiscated their phones? That's not a justification, but something to consider when people read the headline (like I initially did) and cast full judgment.

Zach's family needs to hire a great attorney. Some Juvi judges are notorious for throwing kids under a freight train.
Family shouldn't take anything for granted just because Zach is also a juvenile...the system can be harsh and cruel.

From what I’m hearing he’ll be fine. HUGE HUGE problem with kids though. Not sure what answer is.

Warning - rant coming....

The "legal charges" in these types of cases are a joke. So some high school tramp texts nude pictures of herself to one of her classmates and suddenly the recipient has committed a crime? Bullshit.

I have a neighbor who had a similar situation arise with their son. A girl sent him some crazy explicit texts explaining all of the things she either wanted to do or wanted done to her. He responds like most any high school male with a "when can we get together babe?" and "I want you too babe" and the school tried to come after him. Literally every single interaction was initiated by her. The language and detail would make Stormy Daniels blush. The only thing that saved his backside was that he had kept all of her texts and could illustrate how it all actually went down.

This is a huge difference from some 50 something requesting nudes of a 14 year old. At some point common sense has to come into play, right? RIGHT?!?!

this sort of proprietorial horseshit is right up there with mandatory sentencing guidelines
