This is becoming common. I imagine the next step will be charging a child with child molestation for masturbating. This is what happens when you let puritans run the legal system. We need to take a serious look at a huge range of laws like this, and try to get them back in line with rationality and the basic principles of a free society…. You can use a businesscard or other piece of white paper to deflect the flash to the ceiling and have a nice diffused lighting. At that time it was pretty much all automatic. You put the film in and it spit out the pics. Unless the pic was the first one facing the pile, they probably would never see it. They had other things to do than sit there and watch each photo come out.
'I take selfies for me'
Selfies, sexting and sexualisation
Updated August 27, Advising female school students not to take nude photos misses the point. When society shames young women for being sexual, we can't be surprised when young men treat them with contempt. It is almost a cliche how quickly women are shamed, even when they are the victims of criminal behaviour as appears to be the case following reports of the exposure of a major child pornography ring in Australia. The news that teenage boys and men had been secretly stealing and exchanging sexual photos of school-age girls and women triggered widespread horror and condemnation and prompted investigations by police. But some of the backlash has been directed at girls themselves for taking and sharing naked photos in the first place. Melbourne's Kambrya College was criticised for telling its female students to "protect their integrity" by lengthening their skirts to cover their legs. Queensland Police came under fire for releasing a statement in which they warned of "the consequences of posting too much personal information online" without mentioning the behaviour of the perpetrators. And an opinion piece by Mamamia founder Mia Freedman included a checklist of how girls should behave online, with instructions like "NEVER take a nude or partially nude photo of yourself". Besides the uselessness of "advice" like that in an age where sending nude pictures is a common and unremarkable part of young people's sexual relationships and abstinence-only messages fail to stop teenagers from doing what they want to do , that familiar kneejerk instinct to shame girls and women has a darker side.

Young couples who send explicit pictures of each other are being threatened with prosecution under child sex laws. Anyone under 18 "sexting" texting sexually explicit pictures could be committing an offence, despite 16 and year-olds being legally old enough to have sex, police said. It came to the attention of police when the couple fell out and he sent the photo to his friends. Det Sgt Jan Rusdale, from Nottinghamshire Police's sexual exploitation investigation unit, said: "I've got children and I didn't know this was an offence until I joined this unit recently. However, she said the force tries not to criminalise children, and if the young people involved were similar ages they would try to offer them support, instead of arresting them. In the letter, Det Insp Martin Hillier writes that he has "grave concerns over the amount of referrals Nottinghamshire Police are receiving on a daily basis".
Lauren Anjema was in sixth grade the first time a boy asked her to send him a nude photo of herself. Anjema, now As social isolation and device usage soared during the pandemic, digital-media experts say the sharing of nude selfies and other sexually explicit messages among teens and tweens has only gotten worse. A meta-analysis on sexting—the act of sending nude photos, videos or sexual messages— published in JAMA Pediatrics found that 1 in 7 adolescents have sent sexts, 1 in 4 have received sexts and 1 in 8 have forwarded sexts without the consent of the person in the photo.
