Re: Sexting
I was not familiar with the term "sexting" prior to this post. Looking it up, it appears a manipulation of two words, sex and texting. Apparently it's when teens send nude, or partially nude, photos via their cell phones photo texting capabilities.
I must agree that it is tragic that this is seen as criminal activity because of child porn laws. It's a benign and typical teenage activity. Well, not when I was growing up, but, apparently it is these days.
If it's a conscious decision by the person making the photo and sending it, I don't understand what the problem is? I understand the law dictates that 18 is under-age and even if a 16 year old wilfully takes a photo of themselves, they can be prosecuted as child porn distributors. Perhaps that is part of the problem?
I agree, MTM, that it is dumbfounding that kids can have their lives ruined over this.
