I don’t think he meant to do it—certainly not premeditated—so I believe his grief in a lot of the post-discovery footage is genuine.

Not premeditated? But he showed up there wearing leather gloves. In June.

And why we should be protesting the absolute living hell out of bills that cut off federal and state funding for non abortion providers that provide abortion referrals (sorry, this is a drum I will never stop banging).

Despite our often deeply flawed justice system, the problem of intimate partner violence is still not made up. If a woman is murdered, there’s a pretty high likelihood that she was killed by her male partner: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/09/men…

The fact that he wanted the case number engraved on the frame just adds that little soupcon of horror to the otherwise unmitigated disgust I feel.

So here is the website for the school district, if you want to complain about the way admin is dealing with this: http://www.union.k12.sc.us/

Good one!

What I hope happens is that this boy’s parents are sued for loss of income due to the shitty job they did as parents.

He should definitely be charged for distributing pornography to minors as well as disseminating nude photographs without the subject's consent. I don't even care if the students were used to using her phone -when that was happening it was with her permission. What a little sh*t, let's encourage him by punishing the…

I would consider myself a failure as a parent if my son did something that heinous and malicious.

If the world was a just place he’s be tried under a revenge porn law, which unfortunately SC does not have.

omg right?! she pretty much was nude in the classroom and asking for them to take her photo and pass it around! like totally all on her. what was she thinking? she definitely wanted that to happen. she was asking for it. how is a boy NOT gonna do that when the offer is there?!?!?! /s

why did she even have a phone in the first place...WHAT WAS SHE THINKING???

It literally is. Their response as to whether the boy in question will face punishment was basically, “He’s 16 years old, we’ve all done stupid stuff, blah, blah, blah.” Maybe they’ll suspend him if the outcry is high enough, or she sues.

chances are he isn’t being raised in a house like yours. He’ll either get praised or excused for his shitty behavior, because if he had any inkling that there would be severe punishments in his near future, he wouldn’t have done it... guessing.

Same. This is where my general belief that corporal punishment solves nothing butts heads with my sense of “someone needs a whippin’”.

For their part, the Union County School district maintains that the subject of the photograph is not the problem, rather their objection is to Arthur’s improper supervision of her private property.

I always wonder about the parents in this situation. Had that have been my son who did this, I’m 100% certain that corporal punishment would have been on the menu that day. I would be outraged at the thought of him thinking that was okay.

He gets high-fives from his bros and a bonus on his allowance from his dad for putting that slut in her place.

Four day suspension and some variation of “boys will be boys”, I’m betting.
