This thread needs pictures.
Just kidding, but I feel for the girl. She did something small and it gets blown way out of proportion to make a point.
And the real problem is that there is no easy way to tell if underage pictures were taken with the kids permission or they were paid or forced to do so. The government decides to ban all of them and creates a list of offenders.
I think people are too uptight about nudity, even child nudity. If she took pictures of her having sex, then that is another story (because you don't know if she was paid or forced to do it). But it isn't these softcore pictures that will ruin her life. In the 80s & 90s, the pictures would have made it around school, people would have looked and in a week they wouldn't care anymore. Though she would be known as the naked girl for years to the boys in her class. Now, if she gets put on a list of sex offenders or has to serve jail/juvi time for child porn, that will impact her life in huge ways.
