So basically minors sending mildly inappropriate pictures to other minors relatively close to the same age is a crime? Until it gets in the hands of people over 18 I wouldn't consider it a problem.

I send my grandma pictures of my dick all the time.

@Gamified It put kids in bad habits and ruins reputations :]

[Wurmo]

Why are all the only people critisizing this, is very old women who don't get any action??

[mzfreakum]

@Gamified no, it is a problem because then kids get bullied and often leads to suicide..

@Gamified I agree in principal, but the legal system views this very differently. Teens need to be educated about this just like the report suggests. It's lame but no one wants a loved one to be classified as a "predator" for a mistake they made when they were themselves a teen.

Nowadays, more and more employers are doing online background checks on future employees and checking your Facebook and MySpace pages. Parents should be looking at it as a crime so much as how their children are being portrayed in cyberspace, i.e. something seen all over the world. I wouldn't want some prev in his basement looking at my daughter in her underwear. NOTHING is safe once it's on the internet or sent through a text message. Someone will have it forever.
