Parents responsibility? Maybe to a degree. What about the story recently of a highschool girl taking a picture of herself (her genitals I believe) with her cell phone and sending it to other students?

The way I remember the article, they got her on child porn charges (on herself?!) and plan on bringing similar charges on everyone that recieved the picure. To me this is a system getting out of whack.

I heard of one of those stories.  The feds I think went to the girl's house and the parents said to them "what's the big deal?"  I don't think the system is out of whack so much because there are good reasons for having some laws to protect against child pornography.  However I will concied that their could be a gray area if someone forwarded the picture to a bunch of friends and not all of them wanted to see it.

Some would argue that there is a certain amount of objectification going on and anyone at that age who just takes a picture of themselves and sends it to the class needs help.

She wears clothes onstage that shows more, and both her AND her father decided to freak out about it, but only after they were scrutinized by the public.

Emphasis mine.  I think I see the problem here.  They pretty much agreed with you Jen until the poop hit the ceiling fan and then got all freaked out about it because they feel like they had to.

BTW, camera phones are getting cheap.  I had to upgrade mine earlier this year and it only cost about 40 dollars with a plan.  It's the service plan which costs the most and how the cell phone companies make their money. 

Now if you go with one of the better phones, that'll cost you some money.   And I have a theory why parents buy them: it's easier than putting up with a teenager whining at you for several years about not having a cell phone.

WARK!
