Plaintiff (law enforcement): Sir, did you knowingly upload a picture of your under aged daughter, without consent, to a "hot girls" discussion located on an internet forum, of which the assumed majority demographic is middle-aged males?
Defendant (Cotton_Cup): BUT IT WAS JUST A JOKE!
Judge: SILENCE! I am placing your child under government custody until an appropriate foster home is located. I am also issuing a restraint warrant against you from being within 50 miles of your daughter. You will be awaiting further sentence with a bail of $50,000.
