Ever seen a naked picture? ever taken a naked picture and sent it out? Not everyone has but the number of those who do seem so be growing each year. now what happens if that picture gets leaked? all of a sudden the whole school has seen you naked and you feel like your life is basically ruined. in reality your reputation is mostly likely torn to shreds but you life isn't ruined...just really crappy. what i don't understand is how, if its done by teenagers, its still considered child pornography and people can be charged as a sex offender.
those laws were put in place to lock up creepy 40 year old dudes who get off on looking at pictures of young kids, not dumb teenagers. most of the time I'd assume sexting goes on between a couple and there's still that trust factor but then a messy break-up could lead to a slip but now that little slit could result in a whole unnecessary "scandal".
its ridiculous in my opinion. yes they should be disciplined for their actions but authority is going over board in this case. a boy sends a picture of his ex-girlfriend to a buddy or two, she doesn't even have to be naked, and he could be put on the sex offender list for life resulting in things like having a hard time finding a job and having to go to therapy groups with real pervs. that's unfair and unjust and i strongly believe a stronger line needs to be drawn between sexting and child pornography.
