stop using sext as a weapon

The Vermont legislature is moving to pass a bill that would legalize sending explicit photographs between teens.

Sexting refers to the exchange of explicit photos and videos via mobile phone. Under current laws, participants can be charged with child pornography, but lawmakers are considering a bill to legalize the consensual exchange of graphic images between two people 13 to 18 years old. Passing along such images to others would remain a crime.

    For the record, I was not sexting when I got my Easter comeuppance. I was using my phone to email innuendo.

    Update: Honda Element photograph here.
