Sad.
Sorry, sweetie. You’re a criminal.

Exactly the kind of "sport" the ACLU loves these days. But why call her "Jane Doe"? Why not publish her name and phone number (and the photo) so everybody can get in on the action?
“Sexting is common among teens at my school, and we shouldn’t face charges for doing it.”
She’s making two points here:
1) Many in her generation have few morals and no compunction about sexting. That’s true.
2) She doesn’t believe doing something wrong should lead to getting in trouble. God help us when this generation of kids takes over.
TTIWWP
It pains me to agree with the ACLU, but I must say
charging a 14 year old girl with a felony and requiring her to register as a sex offender for 10 years for sending an explicit selfie seems to be way over the top. Her parents should be able if willing to handle the discipline in this case.
Exactly right. Now, what do we do about it?
Charging this girl with felony violations of the law isn’t the answer IMO. Having her register as a sex offender...? Good grief.
I don’t want kids doing this at that age, but it shouldn’t be a crime to send a photo of your own body.
This is the equivalent of the old “I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours” arrangement. Should those kids have been arrested and charged with a felony?
Sometimes the kids have more brains that the adults.
As I said, no 14 year old should be sending photos of their privates. If they are, mom and dad should be responsible for the punishment, not some dumb ass D. A.
Ah. The “all the kids are doing it” defense.
14 year old girl “sexting”?
Where the hell are this girl’s parents?
And if they’re okay with this?
This is like watching a train wreck in slow motion, and not being allowed to avert your gaze.
Sorry. Fingers faster than brain this AM.
In this case, the law is an “Ass”.
GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IN every aspect of life is just what we need.
Need more watchers to make sure we behave.
If we didn’t have watchers, the watchers would be on border patrol duty.
Please, can we pass on the guilty not guilty pictures. Thanx!
Good Lord. Fourteen year old kids are sexting? Great parenting.
We have a teen girl being branded as a felon for, well, being a sexual being and doing things hormone-driven teens do.
Meanwhile, governments/schools are actively promoting homosexuality, gender "reassignment" and all sorts of perverted stuff that actually IS dangerous for the kids.
This matter should be dealt with by the girl's father. As for the boyfriend who turned around and sent the pics to everyone else, he should be dealt with by the girl's father too... perhaps a good ass-whooping will teach him a good lesson.
Leave it to the American Communist Lawyers’ Union to choose the wrong side...yet again.
Sucks for her, but hopefully many other teens will learn something from this.
This is one of the many reasons my daughter refuses to let my 11 yo grandson have a phone.
He can use her phone and I-pad whenever he wants, with her supervision.
His complaint: all the kids at school have one.
Her answer: because I’m not their mother.
She is pretty liberal but puts her foot down in regards to raising my only grandson.
