#1 Where do they grow these idiots? I could/would NEVER imagine getting a stripper for a 16-year-old. I mean the bar would be set so high what would you do for the 17th birthday, hire a hooker? Dumb move getting a disposable camera, cripes digitals are almost as cheap.

#3 They could have spared themselves the embarrassment by using a digital camera and picking up a $50 inkjet photo printer. I don't print my own photos because it's cheaper (and less of a hassle) to get them done at the drugstore or via mail order. But having something like this developed at the drugstore? How dumb can you get?

#5 ROFL!

2b - If you had been offered a Chippendales dancer for your 16th, you're saying you would've declined? Lol, uh huh.

It's clear that this couple considers their 16 yr old a man. Good intentions + Zero thought = Class A Misdemeanor.

4 observations:

1) Arbitrary Age Laws are sometimes pretty silly. Magik does not happen at 18 or 21 or any other age. I left home within a month of my 16th birthday, attended HS, worked nights, and shared an apt with my 18yr old girlfriend - whose name was on the lease. We crossed state lines every time we went up to the north end of Bear Lake. Mann Act and about 6 or 7 other statutes broken every day, every trip. With ME the "victim", lol!Bullshit replaces common sense with such arbitrary laws. A little perspective can do wonders for making the system rational.

2) Were they a "prominent" family, or a wealthy family, or a politically connected / powerful family, this would've never seen the light of day. It would've been "worked out" quietly, privately. Since they are obviously not among the "social notables", they will be prosecuted. That the DA is pursuing this indicates to me th DA's just a prick. This is where the perspective and common sense should come in. They didn't. Prick.

3) Check the laws - only 2 of 8 states bordering Tennessee share it's 18 yrs old age of consent - 1 uses 17 and the other 4 use 16. Mapquest sez that 53 miles north of Nashville, in Russelville KY this would've been legal. No harm, no foul. Are the parents stupid? Yes. Are the patchwork laws insane? Yes.

4) When thinking about commenting, I Googled "tennessee" + "contributing to the delinquency of a minor", the FIRST site that comes up provided the ages I mentioned above. It isn't a state site. It isn't a site geared to the legal profession. It is a Gay information site - and its purpose is to make sure Gay adults know the law. Check out the open directory docs. I have to ask: who presents the real risk to these young men? Little Egypt shaking her titties? Or Gay adult predators? Yeah, that's a tangent I didn't expect to follow in my comments. And I didn't expect the first, of many, of the the links generated to be gay sites seeking not the protection of children, but the legal ass-coverage of predatory adults.

Had the parents not been Luddites, digital photos vs film, they might still have been bagged by someone bragging.

If they lived here, they could've dropped him off at The Pussy Ranch on Friday, picked him up on Monday, a changed man.

#6 Another state that thinks it has a good handle on legislating brains and morality. It won't work. These people are OK by me. The sure as heck don't belong in jail.
