I'm sitting here watching the news and all of a sudden the people start talking about children sexting each other... apparently it has some people freaking out. Its a big enough issue that some states are trying to make laws about it. Sexting is defined by them as not only being words... but sending images of themselves. Thus they call it distribution of child pornography and possession of child pornography.
They've talked about jail time, classes (akin to driving school kinda classes...but w/ sexting >_> , fining the parents, whether or not to give the kid a criminal record.... does anyone have any further insight into the situation? does anyone have anything that they would like to say that either agrees or disagrees w/ the other people's suggestions? do you have any suggestions? ...or do you care?
I find this completely absurd. I am 16 and I can't believe I can do all these things with girls but still can't keep a picture? I could have 3 girls over to do things and it's still not considered illegal when I just have 1 harmless picture that doesn't involve getting another girl pregnant.. America has stooped to it's lowest. Maybe they can say anyone that is 18+ can't contain possession of anyone under 18? Maybe they can change the rules to that you can be 16 for pictures and consent because either way I am going to have sex whether it's my hand or not.
What I know is that if you send it and someone is offended, it is a class-5 felony, if that is redistrubuted you can also be charged with a class-3 felony, if I remember it right
