Amber Cole alone ?

These days virtually all of us–including immature, misguided children–have at our disposal a camera and the ability to post pictures and videos online instantly for the world to see. And it can truly be a recipe for disaster.
Amber Cole has been trending on the Internet since Sunday night, October 16. Who is Amber Cole and why is she a worldwide trending topic on Twitter? We really shouldn’t have a clue, but the fact that millions of people now know all about what could be her most embarrassing moment speaks to the power of the web. And how quickly and easily children can be exploited on it.
Amber is a 14-year-old student who was videotaped engaging in an intimate act with a male classmate after school. Another classmate videotaped the encounter and posted it online. It immediately went viral and caused a firestorm on the web. Some were outraged the video even existed, others were disgusted by young Amber’s behavior, still others were horrified by what the young boys had apparently perpetrated.
While the web’s self-appointed pundits were judging the various players in this sad affair, Amber Cole’s name was becoming more infamous with every passing minute and every comment posted online.

Leave Amber Cole alone

There is a new video that's floating around on Web sites, Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter called the Amber Cole Video.

Attempts to try and find out more information about the Amber Cole video lead back to several unrelated videos with links to bizarre blogs.

14 yrs old smh"

One Web site, straightfromthea.com, shows graphic images of a young girl that they claim is 14-year-old Amber Cole with blurred-out screenshots from the supposed video. *** This video below contains some brief graphic language.

So I check into Twitter this morning and the phrase 'Leave Amber Cole Alone' is trending. Should we really leave Amber Cole alone?
 

Amber Cole Affair

Amber Cole incident needs attention ‎

Amber Cole’s name has become a popular one for all the wrong reasons. A videotape of the 14-year-old girl performing fellatio on a classmate outside of their high school was posted on the Internet, unfortunately leaving her open to much ridicule and judgment.
While she was a victim of cyber bullying following the video’s distribution—which is illegal, by the way, considering she’s a minor—there were many who defended Amber.
One particular teen posted a teary-eyed plea, a video that has racked up more than a million views on YouTube.
“Y’all over here talking ‘bout this girl like she did a crime or something. Y’all need to stop. Leave Amber Cole alone,” she cries. “Y’all over here making fun of a girl because she likes to do a little head work in places. There’s nothing wrong with that… I don’t understand.”
While compassion for Amber is appreciated, because no one wants to see her future ruined for her teenage error in judgment, the fact that some young girls her age don’t seem to find her behavior taboo or inappropriate is troubling.
With the rate of STDs rising, the thought of young sisters on their knees (in front of bystanders, no less) performing oral sex, is very wrong, despite what Amber’s defenders may feel.
Why would anyone deem this acceptable behavior?
While no one wants to further disparage Amber’s name, it’s worth mentioning if only to make clear that this is not what we want for our daughters.
There’s nothing wrong with sex at the appropriate age, time, place and person with whom there is hopefully shared affection, and that’s what we want for our girls.
