Local News Reports Rampant Sexting in High Schools!!!

I just watched the local news here and this story caught my attention. The school and police are charging teenagers with Class 3 felonies for sending nude photos to other teenagers.They are calling it underage porn. I googled teen sexting and discovered local news across the state are reporting on this as well. Is arresting teenagers the answer, and as sex offenders? I feel like I grew up in a different world.

you grew up in a world of child porn

you're under arrest, mister!

sexting in the boys room?

Maybe having kids gives you a better understanding of this problem. I meant I grew up with cell phones and any idea or means to have these kinds of problems.

with=without

a student at Licking Valley High School was slapped with child porn charges for e-mailing nudes of herself to fellow minors

listen to richard belzer hes a child porn expert

it's research

i know these stories are extreme cases of overreaction on the part of authorities, but the more people who get branded sex offender over stupid harmless shit (be it the unwise decision to text your underage tits to a peer, or getting arrested for a harmless type of indecent exposure), the more watered-down the stigma gets. they should save the sex offender registry for dangerous people, or people will stop taking it seriously. a sex offender moves into the house across the street. did the person actually rape someone, or take a stupid dare in college?

if you want to discourage kids from doing this, put them on a registry that blacklists them from being on any cell carrier. that would be way more terrifying to a high school kid.

That's what I was thinking. What exactly does sex offender mean anymore if these kids are being charged as one. Isn't the goal to show them it's not always the best idea to send naked pictures of yourself to someones else? And wouldn't this be a family matter and not a police matter?

when I saw this thread pop up, I totally thought it was that Licking Valley one again

CHILTON, Wis. – A Wisconsin prosecutor facing removal from office over accusations that he abused his position in seeking relationships with vulnerable women will resign instead, his attorney said Monday.

Attorney Robert Craanen said Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz will step down before Oct. 8, the date set for a hearing to hear testimony on his possible removal from office.

Kratz, a Republican, had been the top prosecutor in the eastern Wisconsin county south of Green Bay since 1992. He had been facing demands for his resignation since The Associated Press reported earlier this month he sent 30 text messages to a domestic abuse victim trying to strike up an affair while he prosecuted her ex-boyfriend on a strangulation charge.

In them, the 50-year-old Kratz called the 26-year-old woman a "hot nymph," asked if she was "the kind of girl that likes secret contact with an older married elected DA" and wondered whether her "low self-esteem" was to blame for her lack of interest. Stephanie Van Groll complained to police about the harassment, and Kratz was removed from the case.
