Teen Arrested After MySpace.com Posting

[NVMojo]

DENVER (AP) - A 16-year-old boy was arrested Wednesday after postings on the popular Web site MySpace.com allegedly showed him holding handguns, authorities said.

The teen was being held at a juvenile detention center facing three misdemeanor charges of juvenile possession of a handgun, said district attorney spokeswoman Pam Russell. He is due in court Feb. 27.

Police searched the boy's home after receiving a tip from Evergreen High School on Feb. 10, the same day he was suspended, officials said.

School spokesman Rick Kaufman said parents were calling with concerns and some kept their children home after photographs posted on the boy's profile on MySpace.com, a social networking Web site, began circulating through the community.

2. I don't get it either.

Certainly this meets the LBN criteria, and I'm usually the one bitching at the mods profusely about non-compliant LBN posts.

3. I agree with you, but I wouldn't frame a question to the mods quite

like that. It's not bound to bring you the results you desire.

4. Did some cop actually SEE him "possessing a handgun"?

Or was he busted on the basis of the photos?

So if I take my 16-y-o to the range and let them shoot a revolver, I've made both of us criminals?

Sure fucking glad my child-rearing days are over. What's next, a felony arrest for "contributing" for having a bottle of wine on the premises?

"Fur den Kinder" will be the ruin of this "culture"...

Can't have a gun, a child mught see it. Can't have alcohol in the household, a child might find it and drink it. Can't smoke tobacco in your own house, a child might smell it. Can't keep cheesey porn photos around to jerk-off to, a child might see them...
