Because you know ruining that girls entire life now is a sane and measured response.

Exactly, here is one more story on those lines about a young girl who ends up killing herself thanks to laws designed to keep her safe:

Yet more evidence for teens that “sexting” really can ruin your life. Not because of the dirty pictures, but because of the horrible things adults will do to you when they discover them. For your own good, of course.

Today’s heartbreaking example is Hope Witsell, a 13-year-old Florida girl driven to suicide after she was caught sending a topless cell phone photo of herself to a crush. When her school administrators learned of the photo, they suspended her, even though her sending it had nothing to do with the school. Witsell’s classmates harassed her, calling her “whore” and “slut” in the hallways, apparently with little notice, interest, or intervention from school officials. Witsell’s parents also administered some tough love, grounding her for the summer and banishing her from the Internet and her cell phone. The poor kid showed her boobs to a boy, and she was banished from her school, her friends, and the outside world.
