Sexting!
'Sexting’ surprise: Teens face child **** charges - Today Technology & Money - TODAYshow.com
In an unusual legal case arising from the increasingly popular practice known as “sexting,” six Pennsylvania high school students are facing child pornography charges after three teenage girls allegedly took nude or semi-nude photos of themselves and shared them with male classmates via their cell phones.
The female students at Greensburg Salem High School in Greensburg, Pa., all 14- or 15-years-old, face charges of manufacturing, disseminating or possessing child pornography while the boys, who are 16 and 17, face charges of possession, according to WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh, which published the story on its Web site on Tuesday.
Police told the station that the photos were discovered in October, after school officials seized a cell phone from a male student who was using it in violation of school rules and found a nude photo of a classmate on it. Police were called in and their investigation led them to other phones containing more photos, it said. . .
My comment:
It makes me curious how they went around taking other people's phones until they found other VIOLATORS. So here's the thing, Jill takes some nude photos and sends them to Jack, the school finds out, why don't they tell the parents, and let the parents ground them/take away their phones INSTEAD of the government prosecuting them!? Seriously, WTF? Is this what tax dollars need to be spent on? Fricking ridiculous. And furthermore, what do they expect? Kids are horny!!!

Kids didn't have cell phones when I was in school... they had pagers. And not the high-tech two-way pagers, but the ones that only showed phone numbers and you had to come up with a code to send messages.

The children are being prosecuted for child pornography. Wow....our lawmakers need to realize that smoking crack is illegal, because they're clearly going through a lot of it.
