Quote From: tammy_anneit was my understanding that the pictures were taken in a private residence as well, and that the teens that were invited into that home were under the care and protection of the home owners, since the teens involved were obviously minors...that would mean that the persons responsabil would be the parents.
So like the other case that was addressed if this was my child and this happened while she was in the care of other adults I most definatly would be brining those parents to account for negligence.
Yes the teens that commited this demoralizing and shaming act should be held accountable and punished for the deed as well, but the parents need to be held accountable too, they were in a position of trust and authority and failed miserably.
Why is the picture not available? I do not know, what I do know is that there is a lesson to be learned here, and hopefully young teens that are contemplating pulling similar stunts take a minute to think about the consequences. However, like one poster had already stated the consequences were nil and void, that is a real shame.
Unlike the other individuals who are being sued, a hefty price to pay for uttering death threats, and in such a public way.. geez, again a lesson to be learned and a pricy one at that.
However, with all the teen violence that is being perpetrated today, i can not say that I am against the price that is being paid. I just wish that it was all encompassing and not a pick and choose situation..
Did this young lady that the threats were made against feel real fear even terror? I bet she did, and that is just wrong to instill fear into individuals to make them comply with your wants, needs, or desires, it is just wrong.
I suppose the bottom line is untill a child is of an age were they are soley responsible for themselves, parents have to realize that what their children do while under their care and guidance is their responsabilty too, hard lesson for these girls.
My thoughts on the matter.
Dr.Phil I am glad that you came and spoke about what the media has been stating as fact, misrepresented, misconstrued or what have you, it still is good that you clarified to us fans the shmozzle that happened in regards to britney. And yes you are still the Dr. lol never heard of a phd being taken away from some one who legitimatley earned it, and they can not take away the years of experience that you have gained, glad to see you taking this in stride eventhough it probably caused you pause and moments of uncomfort and maybe even thought to your self What the hell were they thinking lol, in any event still a big fan of yours keep up the good work.

I, too, am glad that DrP spoke out in defense of his actions. I am constantly ragged on for being a DrP fan. A lot of my friends and family don't like him. They make fun of me for watching him. Of course , a lot of that is my own fault for constantly talking about the show or something that interested me on the show. I guess because I am a fan, I hold DrP to a certain standard. I wanted him to come out and say something publicly about his actions concerning Britney. I couldn't see that he had done anything wrong. I don't mean to sound paranoid, but, as with other celebrities, I think there are certain factions who would like to see DrP fail. So, they are going to find fault with anything they can.
Some teens are catty, mean and love to spread lies, but what happens when gossip goes too far? Kim says her daughter, Kailey, was the victim of a prank. Two of Kailey's cheer squad friends took a picture of her while she was in the shower, and the image supposedly made its way around the football team. Now, in the aftermath, the whole town is buzzing. You won't believe what the fathers of the alleged perpetrators have to say about the incident. Another girl claims she was also a victim when one of the girls took an unwanted photo of her as a joke. Hear from this alleged victim. And, Mandie and Nikki threatened the life of a classmate on MySpace after they thought she was going to steal Nikki's boyfriend. They were convicted in a court of law three years ago, and now both families say they face losing their homes because of this teen gossip. What do the girls say about their actions? And, Elizabeth started a Web site that allows anyone to gossip about anything. When a victim of lies posted on her site tells her story, will Elizabeth change her view? Share your thoughts here.
