The sad part we had another incident last month and it seems to be a very common practice with youth today. But many of our parents and schools are failing to teach values to our youth. I'm sure it will not be her fault. She was pressured into it. I can't wait for the lawsuits against phone mfg for adding the cameras.

She DESERVED to have her little bottom paddled, in front of the class. That way they'd have found the phone. She's just a fourteen year old girl with a phone. God help all the kids if this can't be handled in the school without recourse to law enforcement.

She was warned but couldn't stop? And you can be sure what she was texting was incredibly important.

As annoying as texting and IM'ing can be in a workplace or classroom the real story is going to be the effects on the users. I can see carpal tunnel surgery (which is very painful and debilatating) becoming quite routine at a much earlier age than before.
Maybe I am just getting old but texting in particular seems to be the sign of a tipping point for mankind. Although technology is advancing we are regressing in the ways we use it.-

Of course it was important! She was being defiant, in which case a;sngq vqebirv,.andbi;nkk becomes as important as anything else defiant.

You're probably not a lot older than I am, but I LOVE texting. Short, sweet, to the point, disturbs no one else, not even the recipient, no need to reply in most cases. CU@5 is SOOO much easier than HI! Hey, howyadoin? Listen, just wanted to let you know I'll be off at 5 as usual today, the meeting was canceled Oh is somethingwrongblablabla.........

First we have Lavern & Shirley, then Jeffrey Dahmer. Now we have a mayor busted for child porn, a high school youth blackmailing male students for sex and trailer trash ***** sending photos of her privates.... If you're living in Minnesota can you look across the Mississippi and let us know how far we've sunk this time. Can we get back to some values teaching yet?

It was a "cute" show for it's time but it's actually hurt our reputation. Wisconsin is so much more than beer, cheese and the Packers. We have some of the best hunting and fishing in the country. When you think of industry, we have Rockwell, ABB, Cutler Hammer, GE, and Square D based here. We have Harley Davidson, GE Health Care and PDQ Car Wash too. But when you're in many parts of the country all we hear is Happy Days or Lavern & Shirley.

As to the problems, we have the most anti-business state leaders. I suspect if things stay as they are, the last of the major businesses will be forced to leave Wisconsin. Taxes and costs are simply too high for what we get.

This is a nationwide problem. Teens no longer see the problems with underage nudity or for that mater underage pregnancy. Sex isn't a big deal either. Between parents, schools and entertainment, it's assumed that nothing is restricted. The everything is okay society started in the 60's and continues now. We've not only crossed a line or two, we've built a super highway. It's time for parents to stop being buddies and pals of their children and be parents. As for this girl, I think she needs help. To keep her boy friend she needs to send ********tures of herself? There's problems there. Prison isn't the answer. After that pulling the cameras from cell phones of children should happen next. But again, this would mean parents would be the grown ups. I can't see that happening.
