A Professor's Exercise

To no surprise, an obviously liberal associate professor at York University in Toronto believes the new teen crazed called “Sexting”; which is youngsters sending nude photos of themselves via cell phone; is not child pornography, and senders shouldn't be prosecuted.

The not so good professor, Peter Cumming, authored a paper at the 78th Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, arguing that this immoral act is similar to "spin-the-bottle" or "playing doctor." Now I have witnessed the liberal left wing theologians far reach before, but this is really stretching it. In essence, "Sexting” is the intentional act of a child producing child pornography. This is a clear indication of just how much trouble this society has wondered into. Pornography of any kind is not only wrong but immoral, child pornography however is the most serious crime anyone can become involved in. If children are procuring and distributing child pornography at this age, one should think what will they deem normal and acceptable as adults.

Current laws have been put into place to prohibit production and distribution of child pornography and should be enforced, and for good reason. If there is no prosecution the wrong message is sent to our youth that are clearly in trouble just with the surroundings society has placed around them at this current time.

If however, the enforcement of child pornography continues with diligent prosecution, in a juvenile environment such as juvenile courts, the children will understand that there are consequences to actions, their actions are wrong and they will stop. Any clear thinking parent needs to talk to their children now, making certain that the child understands the danger and immoral reality of “Sexting”.

“Any form of ….. pornography [is] a sinful perversions of God’s gift of sex.” Point 25 of our statement of Faith.

The perverted state of our adults is finally coming home to roost with our innocent children, whom they all parent.

For this evil to succeed, good only need do nothing.
