That’s child porn?

You just can’t make this stuff up:

Two Northside High School girls who took nude pictures of themselves and e-mailed them to their boyfriends last year said they only did it to be flirtatious. […] Both 16-year-olds were charged with production and dissemination of child pornography. […] Only one boy who received the pictures was charged with possession of child pornography.

They may have to register as sex offenders, a lifetime scarlet letter that will inevitably lead to protests outside of their homes — after all, they’ll be branded as sexual predators of the worst kind.

What a world.
