High Tech Flirting – Or Child Porn?

Gosh, when I was a girl and I liked a boy I signed by yearbook picture for him.  I certainly didn’t think of snapping a naked picture of myself and sending it to him!!  Of course there were no cell phone cameras back then.

Ummmm. Actually, there were no cell phones either.  ~ Gulp ~

Three teenage girls who allegedly sent nude or semi-nude cell phone pictures of themselves, and three male classmates in a Greensburg Salem High School who received them, are charged with child pornography. Police said the girls are 14 or 15, and the boys charged with receiving the photos are 16 or 17.High Schoolers Accused Of Sending Naked Pictures To Each Other – News Story – WPXI Pittsburgh

Seriously – this is sad, don’t you think? First, that the girls would debase themselves like that, equate their attractiveness to their naked body parts.  But second, CHILD PORN CHARGES?  Think this forward….if convicted these kids will have to register FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES as sex offenders with the local sex registry.  Its the modern day Scarlet Letter.

Fair to you?

    That seems a little ridiculous. Those kids are not adults, they are kids who behaved immaturely. I’m just thankful I didn’t go to jail every time I was immature as a teenager.

    About Me

    I’m a been-there-done-that reporter who has worked in all the media’s mediums: Radio, T.V., I wrote a book about what I learned covering the Michael Jackson child sex abuse saga and I’m currently writing a nationally syndicated newspaper column.

    I have a freakish attachment to all things having to do with crime and justice, although I’ve covered all sorts of stories, including national politics in Washington – which I guess some might say is akin to covering crime. You'll see here I often mix the two.

    Its human behavior that fascinates me most – why do we do the things we do to each other?

    You’ve seen or heard my work on NPR, WCBS-TV, NBC, FOX, Court TV and on syndicated televisions programs like Hard Copy. See my full bio here: http://dianedimond.net/about/
