    Megans Law

    From every bad incident that happens good can often result from it, as seen through a policy that was created after a tragic story. A little girl named Megan Kanka, who was kidnapped, raped, and then murdered by a twice-convicted sex offender, was the unfortunate inspiration. After Megan wrongfully lost her life due to her parents lack of knowledge that a sex offender had just moved into the neighborhood, a man named Dick Zimmerman decided that change was in order for the state of New Jersey and the country as a whole. In order to prevent another tragedy from happening, Zimmerman created a policy that requires authorities to make information available to the public regarding sex offenders. Each state has the final say as to what information is shared and how it is shared, but every state is required to have some form of the law. The Megan’s law proposal made by the Clinton administration passed due to campaigning by interest groups, media involvement, and pressure from the president.…

    Sexting Rosin Analysis

    Since kids see it as a norm this is one of the leading causes of sexting Rosin mentions. If everyone's doing it this could lead kids to think why shouldn’t they. If no one is stopping the kids and they see their classmates engage in it or friends mention it will give make the kid want to do it. This normalization leads to another cause of sexting as well. Kids who don’t engage in sexting will feel pressured to sext. Rosin addresses these kids as “pressured sexters” and these pressured setters are usually girls. Since boys are the ones a majority of the time asking for pictures girls feel compelled to send them because they continually ask for them.

This is where the parents come in. They need to be engaged in their kid's social media and know whats going on with them.
