Naked Pictures via Xbox and PS3, Children and Parents Shocked

I think maybe taking away the x-box wasn't necessary, couldn't the mother have just disallowed the x-box online option. Since most games don't actually have naked pictures in them.

What I don't understand is how Bill Gates and his designers couldn't foresee the missuse of that picture sending feature.

I mean seriously, how does it add anything to a game to see the picture of a kid you played with if he lives at the other end of the earth ?

On the other hand, a perv sending pictures of his genitals to an 8 years old kid is an obvious drama

so why didn't they made the right decision in the first place ?

An intelligent move from the justice system consider microsoft (and others gamemakers) criminaly responsible, even going as far as voiding the special protection the company owners usually have (mmm... Bill Gates in jail for promoting pedophilia, I like the sound of that)

It would take about 5 minutes for mr.Gates to "fix the problem" if such a law was passed
***release patch blocking the feature***

if they really want to keep the feature on, the combination of paying someone to manually validate the pics would do the trick. I dount any human would have trouble processing a screenfull of 50 picture per second, even postal workers got a bigger stress than that - I mean, we're not asking a beauty contest, we're asking "do you see a penis", even my grandmother can answer that question faster than you can blink

It's really funny that ever since the intenet started they did nothing to block the criminal organisations from using it for their sex slavery business

That's ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, sending naked pictures to minors is very wrong. However, banning them from playing ever again is a poor decision on three levels. First it is very easy to file a complaint right from the console and have that gamer banned. Secondly it sends the wrong message to your children, as they perceive this as they are being punished for doing something wrong (telling them they didn't do anything wrong doesn't help, usually it makes them more confused and often angrier, I know firsthand). Third, taking away the xbox does absolutely nothing to resolve the problem, you need to talk to them and teach them how to be safe and avoid these kinds of people and identify signs of people who try to do this. If you personally don't know, there are millions of sites, organizations, foundations, groups, movements, committees, etc., devoted to educating people on how to help prevent sexual predation. If you're going to try to keep your children safe by taking things away from your children and isolating them from things, you might as well lock them is a bubble hidden from the world. As a parent it is your job to prepare your children for the real world by teaching them how to be careful, not by taking away anything that might hurt them. By simply taking the xbox away, your not at all teaching your kids how to be careful, you're simply covering up a problem hoping it never happens again. This is terrible parenting, because when they grow up, and you're not there to hide the problem from them, either they won't know how to deal with it or will deal with it in the wrong way. Also, saying there was no other option is completely false, there is a special section on xboxlive just for this type of problem.
