I
consider child abuse any physical or mental treatment of a child that will have
a lasting effect on their well-being. I think child abuse usually takes place
over a lasting period of time and can involve acts such as excessive physical
discipline and emotionally damaging behaviors.
·
I don’t think spanking is child abuse. I think
it is appropriate as long as it is not done excessively and only for
discipline.
·
I think spanking should be allowed because it is
necessary to discipline some children. Before they can speak or communicate, it
may be the only way kids can understand if they did something wrong and are
being reprimanded for it.
·
I think that if parents are punishing their
children fairly and safely, they should be able to do it in public. I don’t see
a problem with it as long as it is reasonable.
·
I think a reasonable form of public punishment
would be putting your child in time out.
·
I feel that spanking children and raising your
voice excessively is unacceptable public punishment. Not only will that disturb
the rest of the people around, but it could really embarrass the child.

Child pornography is a Class B Felony in
Delaware. A person is guilty of this is they knowingly receive, retrieve, or
send material depicting a child in a sexual act or simulation of one. If a
person is found guilty of child pornography they may face lifelong mandatory
sex offender registration as well as lose certain rights. Offenders also face
prison time and felony charges.
·
Delaware doesn’t have a specific statute addressing
sexting. Anyone caught sending or receiving images of a minor engaged in a
sexually explicit act will be prosecuted under child pornography laws.
·
Sexting is the act of sending sexually explicit
images or messages by mobile phone.
·
I think sexting should be punished if it is not
consensual or involves minors.
·
I think that if a person is sexting photos of
themselves or another person to someone who they don’t have a mutual agreement
with should be punished similarly to those found guilty of child pornography.
·
I think victims of sexting should be punished if
they requested to engage in sexting.

Walter Wesley White, 18, was charged with 24
counts of child pornography. Undisclosed allegations made against him led to
the investigation and his arrest. After the police received a search warrant,
they found several images of child pornography. He was later released on a
$3,000 bond.
·
This type of victimization definitely affected
me differently than other types we have researched before. Thinking about
children being victimized, especially sexually, makes me sick to my stomach
because they are usually defenseless.
