Teens' Facebook pictures posted on porn site, cops warn Police in a small Massachusetts town are asking the FBI for assistance after photos of at least 17 high school girls turned up on pornographic websites, Boston's 7 News reports. For the most part, the girls are fully clothed in the photos which were reportedly taken from Facebook and other social networks. However, the images, repurposed on pornographic sites, are augmented with sexually suggestive headlines and captions, and interspersed with photos of semi-clothed and nude women. Parents and guardians of the students, who all attend Bay Path Regional Technical High School in Charlton, received letters from the Charlton police notifying them of the ongoing investigation, news of which seemed to spread among students before law enforcement was notified. "My friend called me and told me that I was on the website, and I was in shock because I kept checking it every day to see if I wasn't," one 18-year-old student told 7 News. Being on that website and being on a child porn website just makes me look bad as a person. Exploiting innocent photos of children and teens is both questionably legal and an ongoing practice online. Popular social news site Reddit recently banned such content after years of allowing users to post photos of minors scrapped from social networks in forums with such titles as: /r/jailbait /r/preteen_girls /r/jailbaitarchive /r/ truejailbait /r/GirlsinSchoolUniforms. Parents should both understand technology and monitor the personal information, photos and other content their sons and daughters post online, Charlton Police Chief James Pervier told 7 News. He added that while their children may have the safest privacy settings on their social networks, their information can still be accessed through the social network profiles of their friends. Msnbc.com has reached out to the police chief, and will update this story if we hear back. Unfortunately, the practice of exploiting photos online is not limited to minors. Amateur pornography site isanyoneup.com encourages users to submit nude photos of ex-lovers and the like, and then links those photos to the Facebook profile or other social network accounts belonging to the person in the photo. Not only does it provide a direct path for any stranger to use, it almost guarantees the photos will turn up if any Google searches are done for the victim whose photo/s were exploited. via 7 News
