If Its Kewl, Just Do It

In other news, a local teacher is arrested for sexting photos with her 14 year old middle school boyfriend. The woman teaches courses about how to make appropriate life choices.
 
If you ignore the context, i.e., the transmission of sexual images of minors, which is the illegal part, it isn't actually sex, rather it occupies roughly the same tranch as sexual innuendo - and if that's a sex crime, you might as well start arraigning everybody over the age of 12.

i.e., if it were not for the recent legislation targeted at pedophiliac porn, this would be about as alarming as the Madonna inspired lingerie-on-the-outside trend of the Eighties.

Bearing in mind that this question involves minors, not "children", per se, the question arises in my mind: how long can you keep them children?

Adolescence is a time when young people become curious about their bodies - balance this against the fact that you might have to prosecute significant percentages of the student body of entire districts should some alternative method of addressing it fail to emerge.

i.e., it's not the same as saying it should simply be allowed, obviously there is going to be a lot of disagreement on that issue, this just allows parents a chance to deal with it informally without dragging the federal judicial system into it.
