Mooresville, NC --
We have altered this picture from Lake Norman High School's yearbook...so you can't see the young woman's face...or the area, causing so much controversy.
The school district says the girl was 18-years-old. She's sitting with last year's graduating class...smiling, dressed in her cap and gown and her legs are open.
One mom, who didn't want her face shown, says she believes the student is exposing her genitals on purpose.
"When it was brought to my attention from my child that, was the first thing. I was appalled! I was like, 'oh my God, this is exactly what it is," said the mom.
Her children told her, as soon as the yearbook came out...everyone in school knew.
"It was going all over the school. In every block, I think people were texting each other turn to page 14," said the mom.

Or like the girl in one high school who narrowed her baby’s daddy down to two possibilities; the football team or the band.
It IS, after all, traditional here in FR to verify all data and y’know, you guys really aught’a link an unedited photo for us ... um ... investigative citizen/journalists.
Freepmail.
Don’t start foolin’ with yer jewels. :)
I saw it. Not worth the effort IMO.
That link is GOIN DOWN, baby. Admin Mod don’t play. :)
That should really help her find a job when a prospective employer does an internet search.
Uh-oh, did I violate some kind of policy I didn’t know about? I hope not. It’s really not an explicit picture, you have to use your imagination to some extent. But anyways if I did offend some policy or someone, I apologize.

LOL! That’s funny!
Funniest post of the holiday weekend.
ROTFLMAO
I know my link got pulled, in O! so many senses of the word.
Was it a black box or cookie box? I could not tell from the picture.
Okay, as someone who regularly has to proof images and copy I am often amazed at what people do not notice until it’s too late. Reminds me of the Elaine’s Card episode of Seinfeld. Anyway, once had an ad submitted with a pro photo taken of a tween girl for a theatrical playbill. You could see the girl’s crotch (panties). I was very surprised that apparently neither the photographer nor the family had noticed. If you are choosing photos for publication and presumably for your portfolio/audition submissions, you better look at more than the face!
I agree with the staff person that said you may not be seeing what you think you are seeing- but it doesn’t matter if it is or it isn’t, if that’s what people think when they see it.
I will also add that nowadays people seem blissfully unaware of what body parts are hanging out here and there. When I was growing up having a bra strap showing was a no-no...now it seems purposeful, or people just don’t care they are slovenly.
I really don’t understand what has happened to this country.
It's nothing new. Paris and Britney were hardly the first. I can recall a couple of girls who proudly went 'commando' back when I was in high school (and Reagan was in the White House).
It gained momentum around the time that Madonna started wearing her underwear on the outside.
Can only ‘why’ this picture allowed in Yearbook. . .or not ‘otherwise’ altered. A degrading ‘moment in time’; forever captured ‘in time’ and a very bad joke; made at the expense of her ‘fellow students’.
‘That said’. ..there is always ‘pen/marker’ to take care of pic, if offended. But maybe the ‘buzz’ better. Am wondering about the ‘girl in question. . .
