Something. I'm not saying it would make sense but there is something they would probably throw at them. Child endangerment maybe.
Their mental state? I'm not sure because I'm not the one that would press the charges but you and I know prosecutors could come up with something.
Good stuff, Pun, we're on the right track, I think, and we're making progress here. What about their mental state...? I don't see how they would get "arrested in the states" as this was my very first question. hamza? Care to answer why you thought I wasn't being serious?
I doubt that the parents of all those kids are there. If someone, lets say a daycare, made your children engage in blatant sexual behavior, wouldn't you want something done?
This is about as close as you're going to get. From the Texas Penal Code: § 43.25. SEXUAL PERFORMANCE BY A CHILD. (a) In this section: (1) "Sexual performance" means any performance or part thereof that includes sexual conduct by a child younger than 18 years of age. (2) "Sexual conduct" means sexual contact, actual or simulated sexual intercourse, deviate sexual intercourse, sexual bestiality, masturbation, sado-masochistic abuse, or lewd exhibition of the genitals, the anus, or any portion of the female breast below the top of the areola. (3) "Performance" means any play, motion picture, photograph, dance, or other visual representation that can be exhibited before an audience of one or more persons. (4) "Produce" with respect to a sexual performance includes any conduct that directly contributes to the creation or manufacture of the sexual performance. (5) "Promote" means to procure, manufacture, issue, sell, give, provide, lend, mail, deliver, transfer, transmit, publish, distribute, circulate, disseminate, present, exhibit, or advertise or to offer or agree to do any of the above. (6) "Simulated" means the explicit depiction of sexual conduct that creates the appearance of actual sexual conduct and during which a person engaging in the conduct exhibits any uncovered portion of the breasts, genitals, or buttocks. (7) "Deviate sexual intercourse" and "sexual contact" have the meanings assigned by Section 43.01. (b) A person commits an offense if, knowing the character and content thereof, he employs, authorizes, or induces a child younger than 18 years of age to engage in sexual conduct or a sexual performance. A parent or legal guardian or custodian of a child younger than 18 years of age commits an offense if he consents to the participation by the child in a sexual performance.
Was that what that was? Blatant sexual behavior? I thought it was DANCING. Again, like what? And, why did you think I wasn't serious? Good stuff, ccada... now... what sexual act were they performing?
It doesn't say sexual act. it says character and content of...sexual conduct and performance. Don't tell me you don't see the sexual aspects of that video.
Slowly-D, It is illegal for an adult to encourage explicitly sexual behaviour in a child. Period. That does not mean the children have to be engaged in sex but under most peoples understanding this would count as explicitly sexual. Secondly, they video taped it which could arguably be considered a form of child p*rnography. I know there was a case several years ago when a woman had a photo of her child nursing and was arrested for it because the child was considered too old to be nursing (I believe the kid was two). My point in bringing up the nursing case is just that it is a gray area but if the general reaction in a community is that it is not appropriate then adults who are involved with it face some fairly stiff charges. Think about it, how tempting do those kids look to a child predator? They are behaving as though they know what they are doing and enjoying themselves. I'm sure they are just copying the "dancing" that the grown-ups around them do. It is one thing to walk in on your young child playing doctor, it is quite another to get out a video camera and encourage them to play doctor.
No need to QUOTE him, Pun. I got it. Ok, Mrs. Valdez. I got it. So... now that we're all on the same page here... should we arrest all school personnel involved in high school dances... or do you think we should outlaw Middle and High School dances? Straight up question.
