Did the teacher have the right to search the child&#8217;s cell phone? I am not judging here, just putting out questions. <\/p>\n<p>Sexually explicit material always makes its way into the hands of adolescents. When I was young, boys were sneaking around Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler magazines. Today it is more graphic and passed via computers and cell phones.  <\/p>\n<p>If the sexually explicit material was unsolicited, then the issue is also about dealing with spam, like on computers. <\/p>\n<p>Parents can buy basic phones for their children that do not have all those features, but the children could still find other ways to satisfy their sexual curiosities.<\/p>\n<p>There is no easy way around this but to allow youths to learn about, and safely explore, their sexual curiosities thus neutralizing any extreme negative effect that some sexually explicit material can have on them. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/radio\/comments\/Cellphone_Porn.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/img\/ahrc2.gif\" width=\"365\" height=\"17\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Hotep's Related Radio Comment\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teenager faces charges An 18-year-old man is to be charged with exposing lewd material to minors, after he reportedly sent several video clips of pornography to a cell phone belonging to an 11-year-old student of a Belmont primary school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general-tt"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
