"A 15-year-old Florida girl was arrested Monday afternoon for shooting and possessing a photo of another teen girl engaged in oral sex with a teen boy..."

"The two girls were friends, and one of them was dating the guy... They posed for the picture and remained friends for several months."
At one point, the girls had a falling out. The girl who took the photo started to show it to classmates and distribute it digitally, police said.

"More and more teenagers are sending pictures of themselves and each other in compromising poses," Officer Melanie Snow said. "We want children and parents to know that this is a felony. It's not just some silly thing that won't have a long-term effect on your life."
Are felony prosecutions targeting one foolish teenager the right way to send this message?
