Sexting, may not lead to criminal charges


After a Florida teen was faced with serious criminal charges, Vermont legislation is trying to pass a bill decriminalizing sexting by minors. According to a College News story:

* Sexting has become the latest teen fad. After a polling, 1 in 5 teens have admitted to participating in the criminal act.

* The Vermont lawmakers are proposing that the law be modified for minors between the ages of 13 and 18-years-old.

* All eyes are on Vermont to see if the proposed change will help find a punishment that fits the crime.
