Coppers fear trouble

AUSSIE COPPERS are worried about a fad which involves teens taking explicit photo of themselves and forwarding them to mates or love interests.
Detective Sergeant Campbell Davis, of the Victoria Police internet child exploitation team said that sexting rates were already too high.
He said girls were especially targeted, and 3G technology was making the problem worse.
Under Aussie law any image that depicts a minor in a sexual activity or indecent manner is considered child pornography but kids of today do not seem to really care.
A survey by Girlfriend magazine found that four in 10 readers had been asked to forward a nude snap.
The Sydney Morning Herald hit the streets to find out common sexting was in Melbourne. Hacks found three 15-year-old girls who said they enjoyed the positive reaction sexting creates.
Two blokes they chatted to said the they often received and sent images.
So that's a trend then.

New trend, or same old thing, but with new technology? Back when I was 15, I don't recall for girls to send naked pix being considered cool or a common thing to do. >.>
