I get it - Sexting is bad

If I ever catch the World's Best 14 Year Old doing it she will not see another mobile phone until she is 18 but is this really the best way to deal with it?

Two area teens were charged with felonies this weekend for "sexting," underscoring the need for parents to know what's on their child's phone and computer.
Saratoga County District Attorney James Murphy says the sexting law might be too harsh when it comes to children sending images of themselves.
According to a national survey, 70 percent of teens have been involved in sexting. If they're caught in New York, even if they send pictures of themselves, they are treated as child pornographers.
The latest case involves an 18-yea- old man and a 15-year-old girl who met through a youth group at the Abundant Life Church in Milton.
Police say the young man, Andrew Priest of Ballston Spa, sent images of his private parts to the girl.
"A man who is clearly old enough to know better is taking a picture of his erect penis and sending it to a 15-year-old girl. That's a crime. That's a Class D felony," Murphy said.
Police say the man asked the girl to send pictures of herself in return and she did. Now she's also charged with a felony -- promoting obscene sexual performance by a child.
