We have managed the successful removal of explicit pictures of a minor posted on Tumblr.com which had been brought to our attention earlier this week by the individual depicted in photos. Now we continue to explore & review the more specific particulars of this case in our attempts to assist this teenager & family. The outline & description of the context and issue as it was initially understood & discussed can be gained from the earlier post, Explicit & Incriminating Content you post may make its short way online publicly.. (Jess Maher, 2011).

When these kids came for our help and assistance I could both empathize and sympathize for not only for these guys I was speaking to, but really, more broadly, for any teenager in today's society. Having to survive the age old trials & tribulations of high school years which we can all remember from our own lives, but then on top of that to add the the ongoing technological developments that continue to bring the virtual realm almost intrusively into our day to day lives, not to mention the potential for lifelong repercussions from something casually share between hormonal adolescents due to the very nature of the medium. While the many notes I can remember us all passing around the classroom on ripped up bits of paper have largely long since been discarded and forgotten, so much of these teenagers lives, relationships & interactions today could very realistically be dugg right on out again many many years later and come back to bite them.
