Does no one in the mainstream realize how insane this is?

Hit & Run > More "Sexting" Nonsense - Reason Magazine:
"A 14-year-old New Jersey girl has been arrested on child pornography charges for posting nude photos of herself to MySpace, bringing us once again into the bizarre realm where not only is it possibly to criminally exploit oneself, but where police and prosecutors valiantly protect children from making bad decisions by arresting them and threatening them with sex offender status.

...Once again, this shouldn't be a law enforcement issue. It's a parent issue. You're doing a hell of a lot more damage by arresting these teens and threatening them with prosecution than passing naked photos between cell phones possibly could."
