Mike, I think you're using an incomplete definition of sexting. It isn't just sending pictures; it also includes sexually explicit text messages, and this is RAMPANT on school property.
And giving prosecutors discretion on how to handle sexting cases--making sure than hormone-fueled teenagers aren't being charged as sex offenders for sexually explicit text messages or pictures--should be state law everywhere. It's absurd that consenting minors with bad judgment should have to be on sex offender registries.
