‘Sexting’ surprise: Teens face child porn charges - 6 Pa. high school students busted after sharing nude photos via cell phones

"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 Comments -

What is this world coming to?, good god, have people lost all common sense?

I'm not fan of Child Porn, but I dont think this even qualifies, and surely not what the people intended when the laws against it were passed, I mean when I was in high school I would have thought nothing of sharing nudes with a couple of people I was close to, and not even thought a single thing of it, when you have easy access to technology, people are gonna do more things with it, including things we dont expect, and with this thing, if it were up to me, I would lock up the people who turned them in, for being idiots. Its their job to protect children, not ruin their lives.
