Whoops
Cell Phone, originally uploaded by JonJon2k8.
Hello dear reader, sorry about the delay between postings. There were some computer shenanigans which inhibited my ability to write this here commentary.
Fortunately, I found a really awesome story. I always worry that when I get a new cell phone, what is going to happen to me old one? Will it end up in a trash heap? Recycled? Will somebody else use it? Clearly, some people sell them to used phone stores, who then resell them.
One ten year old boy got one of these phones. And when in his mother found out what was on that phone, the store had some splainin to do:
The cell phone was purchased used from Cellular World on South Broadway.
Mom Melody Olson says that when her 10-year-old son started looking through old text messages that were left on the phone, he found two that no child should see.
"There's one video, and there's one still text and they're both really graphic," dad Joe Hood told us.
The images appear to be home made porn, sent attached to text messages, a practice called "sexting".
Oopsy-daisy! I'm more concerned about the genius who owned the phone beforehand. You can bet that if I am giving an old phone to somebody, regardless of what's on it, every single bit of info is getting erased. This is the cell phone equivalent of writing a bank robbery note on your own personal check. People be so dumb, lolz!
