Teen sexting's main danger lies in adult overreaction

Finally, a sensible viewpoint on this topic.

We have descended into the most depraved society, that would lock children away in prisons for taking naked photos of themselves, in order to protect them from psychological damage. I’m not sure what’s more psychologically damaging: having a naked picture of yourself out on the Internet or being dragged through the legal system and then to prison, but I’m willing to bet it’s the latter.

This is what happens when you criminalise the product of a true crime (child abuse) rather than the crime itself.
