The age group with by far the largest number of convictions for sex offenses are people between 14 and 20 years old.
---
There are 19,000 minors on sex offender registries nationally. 19,000! Some of these people are as young as 11 years old.
---
In every state of the union if you have sex and you are a minor you are likely committing a felony.
---
Kids are being arrested for taking naked pictures of themselves—this is called sexting—and sending them on their cellphones to their friends.
---
So the person can be a perpetrator and a victim of child pornography production at the same time! Then the friends who receive the images are now in possession
---
But there was a survey done of kids about their online behavior and 1 out of 5 kids said they had done sexting. So that's 20% of kids are doing some sort of a crime.
---
Being caught for child pornography is no small thing. It is a federal crime and the penalties for it are four times higher, in general, than they are for murder.
---
So if a kid gets prosecuted for one of these things they are in deep trouble and, as with all sex crimes, they will be on a sex offender registry afterwards.

The criminalization of teen sex is very good for prisons and juvenile detention centers many of which are private. From 1985 to 1995 youth detention grew 72% in America.
---
In Pennsylvania two judges were charged with receiving kickbacks of 2.6 million dollars over 4 years for sentencing kids to juvenile detention. These places are really torturous. Kids have died in them.
"The panic surrounding youthful sexuality can perhaps best be compared to the war on drugs: Both are based on ideology rather than science, and no amount of evidence can change the minds of true believers. Both mask underlying social agendas in which concern for children is used to control the behavior of adults. And both engender problems of credibility as young people reject exhortations to do as I say, not as I did."—Judith Levine
Exactly right. And I also feel if anyone should be telling children when they should be having sex it should be the parents. It reminds of that recent thread about the teen curfews. That is the government/law directly dictating where and when a person can leave the house, and this is the government/law dictating what a person can and cannot do with their own body. It really ticks me off.
But children or people find their own age or time to become curious about sex, so let them explore it if it's with people in their own age bracket.

It's no secret that they wish to control the future population of this world with propaganda like this. Look in the past and you will see that things were much simpler back then but this time things are just lacking logic in all aspects. Of course this is just another way to get people in jail faster so I guess they need to have people put behind bars easily like this, even if they get framed.
