PiscesVermont Considers Legalizing Teen 'Sexting'
Associated Press: The Vermont Legislature is considering a bill that would legalize so-called "sexting" between teenagers.
Supporters told The Burlington Free Press they don't want to condone the behavior but they don't think teenagers should be prosecuted as sex offenders for consensual conduct.
The bill passed the state Senate earlier this month. The House Judiciary Committee will hear testimony on it this week.

Sexting is, of course stupid - and any child caught doing it should catch absolutely HELL from their parents for it. But Vermont’s got the right idea in this case - this law will keep your child from having to register as a sex offender, which means they can never work with children, will be kept off school property, etc. It prevents life-long repercussions from a moment of adolescent stupidity which, while embarrassing for him/her and her family, isn’t overtly dangerous.
