Now can they have sex in public ? Cause I guess that s the rationale: an image on a phone, or a discussion is more shareable than two teens fondling under a quilt. Also, the abuse potential.

Find enough innocent to change the jurisprudence, but I d bet that you can find so many more quilty parties that the law had to go one way.

Now I have a daughter and I was 16 before mobile phone existed. I m thinking what I would do if I see her sexting: probably nothing after 16 and a soft warning between 14 and 16 and a very strict one before, just because consent can only exist with maturity. Now if the guy is 30 and she s 16, I d tell her she s being an idiot sending him anything: it's not like he cares about her as a person, most likely and she s going to suffer under my responsibility or at best put him in danger. But, 16, starts to be her choice to listen or not and difficult for me to enforce anything.

Glad she s still 3 :D
