The consequences of "sexting"

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/27/us/27sexting.html?_r=1&src=ISMR_HP_LI_LST_FB

I find this topic interesting because it brings to light many issues regarding teens nowadays. I find it interesting that sexting basically counts as child pornography and can therefore carry heavy charges. It really makes you think about broad laws such as this. Are the kids really doing something that bad? Or should there be different laws? One thing I was confused about though is the apparent outcry against the lack of prosecution against the girl who actually took the picture. Really? She just made a silly mistake. It was everyone else who did the real damage. Anyway, I would like to know what you think of this complicated issue down in the comments.
