I'm Shocked. Really. Well, not really. You give young people phones with cameras..and what do you expect? in an era of "girls gone wild" this should surprise nobody. What should surprise people is that some enlightened law enforcement officials have read the letter of the child pornography laws strictly (so far so good) and decided that the proper course of action is to arrest the teens involved. This makes little sense.

Yes - such activity does appear to violate these laws. Laws crafted to PROTECT teens against predators, not punish crazy/quasi-normal teen behavior. And they guy they arrested had an image sent to his cell phone. We used to call that "push" in the business. How can a photo pushed to a teenager from another teenager be construed as anything truly "criminal" in the vein that this law was crafted? this is not exploitation, just sort of dumb.
