What to do about teens and their dumb naked photos of themselves. - By Dahlia Lithwick - Slate Magazine

It's disgusting that as,  Dahlia Lithwick puts it, "Child pornography laws intended to protect children should not be used to prosecute and then label children as sex offenders." There is a difference between consensual sex and rape, there is a difference between shared 'sexting' and child pornography. Younger and younger children are becoming sexualized, this is something that needs to be addressed, but our system is entirely out of date.
