I don't want this to sound snarky, but I really have to ask, how is it an invasion of their privacy to use the images the teens THEMSELVES put out on to the internet to catch them?

The only problem is what if you are posting a picture of somebody who had no clue they were breaking in the house(sure I am guessing the majority knew what was going on but their was bound to be the odd person who was in the dark)

a lawyer on the news stated he can post the pics without being sued, so the parents have no claim to suing him

Yes! You may joke, but I wish there was some program similar just for kids like these.

Some dumb ****ing parents right there.

You have no idea. I have a cousin who has a child that is 7, and she is already being unruly, smacking the teachers, getting smart with them and any adult nearby, and punching fellow classmates. I don't know how many meetings she has been in, but instead of being upset, she thinks it's cute her little girl has "sass". She don't get it, that it won't be so cute when she turns 13.

There is something like that. It's called juvie.

Let me get this straight. In the midst of all of this, there are parents who are upset that their child's picture is being used without permission when there exists the possibility that the child:

*illegally entered someone else's residence

*caused damage to some else's personal property

*engaged in underage drinking and illegal drug use

*might already have a substance abuse problem

If this was my child, the LAST thing I would want is extra attention to their irresponsible, and possibly criminal, behavior. Instead, make the child apologize, work off his/her debt to Holloway, and begin working on the substance problem.

Juvie isn't feared enough...

Return of the party kids. As usual, stupid teens took selfies of themselves committing a crime, posted it freely and publically online and even stole a lot of valuable items. Like a stuffed leopoard and $1 million in damages.

The one good thing is this trend of filming yourself committing a crime, making it easier to prove you were in fact committing a crime.

Teens call them ghost parties: gatherings organized on a whim -- at a house that's often not the host's.

Police say revelers at one such ghost party ransacked an opulent Southern California mansion, leaving $1 million in damages, and making off with medieval armor, designer suits and a $250,000 stuffed leopard.

That was last month. This week, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department announced it had arrested 16 teens -- helped, in part, by photos they posted online of their late-night romp.

"They were actually bragging about the party, showing themselves within the residence, showing themselves carrying some of the stolen property," Sheriff's Capt. Tim Murakami told reporters Wednesday.

Party supposed to be outside

The party took place November 23 at a swanky $7 million mansion that was up for sale, Murakami said.

A teen tweeted that the party would take place in the vacant home's backyard. About 100 guests arrived and paid admission.

At some point, police say, teens broke into the mansion that boasts a custom movie theater, a casino room, a wine cellar, a water slide and a resort-themed pool.

"They just had a free-for-all once the place was broken into," Lt. Arthur Scott told CNN affiliate KTLA. "Once entry was made, it was like, 'Oh, this is fun.'"

Suspects helped police

The party went on in the palatial, 9,000-square-foot place for some 17 hours.

The teens left early in the morning, authorities say, leaving the place trashed. A two-week investigation followed.

Among the evidence authorities say they used to get search warrants on homes in the area were the incriminating selfies some partygoers posted online.

"The respective warrants resulted in the recovery of stolen items, ranging from designer clothing, art affects, electronics and even a mounted snow leopard," the L.A. County Sheriff's Department said.

Three 18-year-olds along with 13 minors were arrested. They face multiple charges including burglary, grand theft and trespass.
