Glendon Scott Stansell of Leesburg, Alabama was sentenced to 30 days in jail and $1,300 in fines for dissemination of obscene material and display of material harmful to minors. Mr. Stansell pleaded guilty to the charges. Mr. Stansell used a laptop owned by his employer to surf pornography via the wireless Internet service offered by McDonald's.
"McDonald's is a kid-friendly restaurant," Fort Payne Police Chief David Walker ". . .kids should not be subjected to pornography when their parents take them to eat." Chief Walker explained that individuals and businesses who deploy wireless networks often don't realize that others may be using their connection to commit crimes online.
The mere notion that a child may be exposed to pornography on Mr. Stansell's laptop was enough to get him convicted - yet businesses and governments continue to push up free and open wireless hot spots with no concern that they may be responsible for exposing a child to pornography.
The CP80 Foundation is working with state governments to formulate and pass legislation that will place requirements on pushing open wireless hot spots. This will not only protect children, but also help in preventing situations like Mr. Stansell surfing pornography in McDonald's.
The CP80 Foundation is pleased to offer free training to individuals who wish to learn more about the Internet, pornography, current laws and the CP80 Internet Channel Initiative.
