From the article: A Davis County juvenile court attorney is seeing at least one case a week involving teenagers as young as the seventh grade who send or ask for nude photographs via texting...It is becoming more common for sixth- and seventh-graders to send nude photos of themselves to older students in junior high and high school, he said. And the preteens do not realize they can be charged with a class B misdemeanor in juvenile court for sending the explicit photographs. If the perpetrators are 16 or 17 years old, they can be charged with a class A misdemeanor for distributing pornographic material.

Our youth are being targeted.

(And if the "temple" emphasized to them is a building for ritualistic purposes -- and not as much their body for residential purposes...hosting the Holy Spirit...then all the more we see ready catering to bodily abuse & exploitation).

Why do children need phones with texting?

Perkins said he gets at least one case a week concerning teenagers as young as the seventh grade who are sending or asking for nude photographs.

1 new case a week in tiny Ogden UT...

This is undoubtedly an epidemic in the larger, more libertine coastal population centers. I can't even imagine.

We're losing the culture war, folks. Each new generation is even more screwed up than the last one.

(As a side note, it is interesting to think about how much communication infrastructure is now contaminated with child pornography on account of this activity, and what kind of unexpected legal implications that might have.)

“Pre-teens and teenagers who take nude photos and text them to friends often do not realize they are abusing themselves,...”

Hardly. They know how to operate a cellphone. They know exactly what they are doing. They just don’t know the implications of it.

Compare it to a hunch-puppy, that doesn’t know why it wants to hunch, just that it wants to hunch.

Interestingly nude photographs of kids online is not illegal, do a search.

Neither it is illegal to show kids hardcore porn, although the only reason I can think of to do that is to desensitize them to being molested.
