I've got to say that this story breaking actually helped me. On my latest snoop through my 14 year old son's text history (I do this once or twice a week) I noticed he had been texting a young lady. Much of the talk was mundane and boring, until I got to the most recent ones...he had been sexting with this girl, but without pictures (I block all sending and receiving of pictures).

I found the texts on Monday night. That evening, while he and I were in the basement shop, I told him about laws and how what he was doing was against the law.

We were watching the news last night, like we always do, and the story came up. He turned 20 shades of white, and asked me if we could head to the basement for some man to man talk. He sat there in tears, worrying about whether or not he would be caught by the law for what I caught him doing. After about a half hour or so of him being scared to death, I told him that if he's lucky, he'll get by with it this time, and that I'd do everything I could to keep him from harm.

I don't think he'll sext anyone anymore...or even think about it.

I have to admit, this net they cast has me concerned. The POTUS is the head of the Executive branch, and he's charged with enforcing the law. Say they decide to use this information that they collected and actually enforce laws that were broken...the courts system would be backlogged for years.

It makes me wonder how this information could be used in a "Minority Report" type of program and how many could be arrested for merely texting about wanting to break a law.

The government conspiracy people don't sound so far fetched anymore...
