‘Sexting’ surprise: Teens face child porn charges

Parents:  I pray for you.  Raising teenagers is not easy, especially when they grow up so quick.  This article does not shock me because I have written on this before, but it scares me that the age continues to drop.

“In an unusual legal case arising from the increasingly popular practice known as “sexting,” six Pennsylvania high school students are facing child pornography charges after three teenage girls allegedly took nude or semi-nude photos of themselves and shared them with male classmates via their cell phones.  The female students at Greensburg Salem High School in Greensburg, Pa., all 14- or 15-years-old, face charges of manufacturing, disseminating or possessing child pornography while the boys, who are 16 and 17, face charges of possession, according to WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh, which published the story on its Web site on Tuesday.”

You can read the full article here.  You may want to check out the poll that they did with over 1200 students and young adults.  Eye opening to say the least.  I may even give this poll to our teens at some point.  The file is a PDF.  Download it to your desktop and check it out.
