Bogotissimo!

Ehm: A survey of teens and young adults released last week reported that 1 in 5 teens — and one-third of 20-somethings — have electronically sent or posted online nude or semi-nude pictures or video of themselves.

Of course, producing such pictures of minors amounts to child pornography, even if the photographer is himself underage and the victim, himself. So teens are being brought to court over such self-pics. If found guilty, they are, you know, child molesters. Besides the jail time, and the social stigma, they are forced, for example, to keep a certain distance from schools and other places minors dwell. Note that in most Western countries, possessing these pictures and videos is also in itself a crime.

Zany, isn’t it? And 1 in  5 teens, report says. But let us stop for a moment and consider: what exactly needs to be changed in the laws? What legislation would cope reasonably with this new situation? You see, that’s not such an easy question.
