A 14 year-old girl is facing a child porn charges because she posted naked pictures of herself.
The point of child porn laws is to prevent the exploitation of children. While I am open to the argument that somebody can exploit themselves, and I might even be open to the idea that she exploited herself in this case, charging her with a crime that may label her a sex criminal is certainly not the correct course of action to take here. This is the result you get when you combine "Get tough," "zero tolerance," and myopic prosecutors looking to "protect the children."
If there was ever a case that called for use of judicial discretion it's this one. Dumbasses.
