Jail Observation

If a school notifies a member of law enforcement about a case where a fifteen year old boy has pictures of his fourteen year old ex-girlfriend and sharing with his friends, this is the proper approach for this first time offense. Upon arrival meet with the principal and administration that are aware and all whom are involved from the adult level with this issue. After the conclusion of the first meeting then call for the young boy to come to the segregated room for the discussion.

Once the teenager enters and you greet him with courtesy and a smile to set the tone for the young man that this is not an attack then the responses should be genuine and honest. The first step would be to confirm that he willingly admits to having the photos and ask for him to share the photos. Ask him if he is aware
Did she willingly take these photos?
4. Is she aware that you are sharing them with your classmates?
5. Do you think that this is funny and have you ever done this before?
6. Are you aware that this is a criminal offense and you could go to jail?
7. Do your parents know that you behave in this manner?
8. Do you know that if her parents press charges that you will go to jail today?
9. Do you know that I am here to take you to jail because of this criminal act that you have committed?

Now, this is when the entire conversation changes to a powerful mentoring session for the teenager as long as he is a first time offender for any crimes in the past. If the teenager is crying or truly sorry for what he has done, let the mentoring session begin. The breakdown should be revealed about the law pertaining to this offense. Inform the teen that he can be trialed as an adult and sentenced to prison if convicted. Inform him of the name of the offense which is sexting and pornography. Also inform him that if he has sent these photos to anyone this is an additional charge for distribution of pornography and allow him to respond and react to this information (Mobile Media Guard,
