From the Philadelphia Inquirer today:
"Earlier this month, Pennsylvania joined 20 other states to consider legislation prohibiting minors from sexting - electronically sending sexually explicit photos or text.
The bill would impose a range of penalties, from a summary offense much like a traffic ticket to felony charges.
The goal, said a legislator, is not to send children to juvenile jail for petty pranks but to create a law to protect them from themselves - and one another."
