Sexting.jpgRecently there have been numerous stories on television and the Internet about teens distributing child pornography in schools. Sounds pretty freaky, but the twist is even freakier -- the so-called "child pornography" was pictures of themselves, and the distribution method was text messaging. Sending provocative photos of yourself to your boyfriend -- or a cute boy that you like. Is this really a crime? Sounds to me like poor taste -- but a felony? Not only were the girls were charged with manufacturing and distributing child porno, but the boys -- also teens -- were charged with possession.

The moral of the story: Parents, talk to your teens. And teens, think first before showing off your hot bod, it just might get you and your friends in a lot of hot water.


 
Rihanna has another headache to deal with this week stemming from that ill-fated pre-Grammy Awards celebration night in February. Following Rih-Rih's domestic violence call against then boyfriend Chris Brown, police confiscated nearly 1.4 million dollars worth of borrowed jewelry the pop singer was wearing, assuming it would be needed as evidence. Now the lenders want their jewels back! Rihanna's request for the items will be heard this week during the next preliminary hearing for the case. I hope everything works out for babygirl.
