This gentleman to the right with a five-o-clock shadow at 11am thought it would be a good idea to pose as a student to send nasty little text messages to underage girls. Can’t imagine how the wheels came of this seemingly perfect plan…

Bobby Smith, 32, of Pontoon Beach, IL, was charged with 2 counts of solicitation to meet a child.

Smith was indicating that he was a student named “Stevie Smith,” at the Granite City High School. Smith was soliciting sexual acts from the females in the text messages.

“Stevie” Smith? He’s only 32 but somehow thinks kids these days have reverted back to the 50′s where seemingly everyone was called Stevie, Wally and Mikey. When the hell did anyone that goes by Stevie ever get a chick?! This whole plot was screwed from the beginning, but according to prosecutors, a plan to get up under that training bra is illegal no matter how stupid it is.

Another mystery entirely is why Smith thinks he is too damn fancy a molester to look right in to the camera for his mug shot, instead choosing to go with the coy smile approach that has yet to work well with juries. I bet he text messages 12 year olds with his pinkies up too.

Did you know that 1 in 4 teens have sent a sexually explicit text message?  I know what you are thinking:  ”Damn, that’s hot!” But remember that 3 in 4 teens are ugly.  …plus KSDK thinks this is a bad thing and is urging parents to make this holiday extra special by corning your kids and reminding them not to be a whores over the cell phone.

“The holidays are a great time for parents to not only have conversations about this in an empowering way,” [author Carrie Silver-Stock] said. “Ask your kids, ‘Have you seen kids sexting?’ ‘Or have you noticed situations where there’s been harm?’ So it’s opening up as it’s more of a dialogue that can be empowering for the young person but it’s also a great time for parents to look for clues.”

“Have you kids seen ‘sexting’?”  Really?  That’s the best approach.  Maybe throw turn your hat backwards first and mention the Music Television before moving in to the sexting questions.  Seriously, does anyone actually call it “sexting”?

Oh and why are the holiday’s a good time to do this again?  If its so important, why not talk to them, you know, now? Eh…nevermind…the game is on.

It honestly never occurred to us until someone asked, but yes, you can also send a text message to our Tip Line (314-266-TIPS) to drop us a line on a local celebrity you see out, something crazy going down, or some insider info you want to get out!

I imagine this will be pretty popular for bars where talking on the phone, isn’t all that useful, so text away!  Right now we have a big empty inbox that is just begging for some info.

Lets fill that box St. Louis!
