Sexting among Teenagers a crime?

I read this article and viewed the video that I have embedded below. I am on the fence with this issue. Although I realize that this is a crime by the law standards and one must abide by the law. I have issue when it is apart of a relationship and two people who are in said relationship send pictures to each other. That to me is a private matter that should be dealt with by the individuals parents. Come on what is the difference from our generation where we took risque pictures and gave them to our significant others at the time. If the police had for whatever reason came across those pictures would that have been considered "child pornography"? That was definitely not what it was meant for? So I think there needs to be an alternative rather than labeling children as Sex Offenders for the rest of their life. This label is incorrect for teenagers who are being teenagers. This will cause them not to be able to get jobs, live in certain neighbors, etc...

Ultimate Forgiveness

Could you be so forgiving? Could you forgive someone who spewed so much hatred? Someone who basically tortured you for the color of your skin? Do you even believe that some one could have a change of heart? Well when I read this article that my friend sent to me, the story of Saul now Paul came to mine. Paul's Conversion was nothing less than a miracle that I believe is still possible today.
