re: Teacher forced to resign after student steals her phone and shares nude pics

I'm pretty sure it's not illegal for me to have porn on my phone as long as the party is of legal age and consented. Have MY image on MY phone is not illegal.

---

I can get fired from my job for plenty of things that aren't illegal.

If I leave my house unlocked, that does not imply that someone, anyone, can come inside and take my things for their own personal use

---

Who here has absolved the kid of his responsibility in this matter?

quote:

---

While it's prudent to lock a door (or a phone) not doing so does not mean that I'm giving consent for others to take my property.

---

Anyone in this thread say otherwise?

quote:

---

yea it's a huge freaking difference than if nothing is protected and he could very easily access content not allowed at school.

---

Nope no different at all. He still took property that belonged to someone else without their permission.

quote:

---

now we got qualifiers to theft?! and mischief and malice? stolen isn't good enuf? wtf?!

---

I already said the kid should face harsh punishment, what are you talking about?

quote:

---

It doesn't matter how easy it is to access it. If you knowingly take someone else's property without their permission, you have stolen that person's property

---

When did I say otherwise?

quote:

---

I think I've read anything that said, "it's not really theft if it's easy to take. Next time make your stuff difficult to take and we'll call it theft."

---

I don't know what this means.

You have you fricking tard. Implying that as long as it's easy to access it's not the kid's fault is pretty much saying it's not the kid's fault.

Like possessiong porn for a teach at a school with minors is all hunky dory, no big deal. Sure thing.

---

She didn't have porn. She had pictures of herself nude. It's not like the student sent out videos of her being spit roasted. A more fitting analogy is what if the student walked up to her and ripped her blouse open for the whole class to see. Is there a major difference having her nudity hidden on a phone v. by a blouse? And if the student displayed the nudity to other students via assault instead of theft?

---

Nope no different at all. He still took property that belonged to someone else without their permission.

---

Again, not arguing his side, already said he needs to face harsh punishment.

quote:

---

degrees of wrong are irrelevant?!

---

For the sake of my point, yes. Obviously not in real terms.

quote:

---

You just said that if the kid HACKED into the phone, it would be a big deal. So you're saying having nudes on a phone that's password protected, it's ok. If it's unprotected, it's wrong. You know what that's called? Different degrees of wrong.

---

AGAIN, not talking about the kid's wrongness, already said he's wrong and should face harsh punishment like 4 times now.

We've been talking all along about whether the teacher should be fired or take some responsibility, now all of a sudden you're magically talking about the student, not sure why.

quote:

---

It is as relevant as how easy it is for one to access another person's private property. Which you said is very so which is it? You can't have it both ways.

---

How the kid was able to access the info is obviously important in determining the teacher's role/responsibility in this, not sure why anyone would disagree with that.

quote:

---

We've been talking all along about whether the teacher should be fired

---

This is up to the school board...and this is not what you have been arguing.

quote:

---

take some responsibility

---

No. It is never your fault when someone else takes your property. That is all on the student.
