The Knox County prosecutor said that he hopes that by taking the students to court that he will send a message to other teenagers who think about sending similar photographs on their cell phones.McConville was hired in December to be "primarily responsible for juvenile prosecutions". Ruining young lives is not the answer to this technological phenomenon of teenages taking nude photos of themselves. Our society refuses to try and understand why this is happening, and reacts in the only way it knows how, to criminalize it.
"It can be serious and it's something that can draw the attention of the justice system," said assistant Knox County prosecutor Chip McConville.
If you go to a bankruptcy lawyer, you will be advised to declare bankruptcy. A plastic surgeon will not tell you that you look just fine and to forget about the nose job. And a juvenile prosecutor will not tell you to say you're sorry and to go home - he will throw the book at you. That's his job.
Take this challenge to society and put it in the hands of psycologists and counselors who can advise the children about what they are doing. This is NOT a crime, it is a manifestation of normal, healthy teen sexuality.
These 13 young lives are about to be ruined by an overzealous prosecutor. People need to stand up for their children.

How about we put this in the hands of the parents? A simple "You look like an idiot" goes a lot farther than you would think.
Nudiarist has it right. And I'm not sure that all the teens all over the country doing this are as stupid as the news reports make them seem.
The attitude towards nudity among some teens these days makes some naturists' attitude quaint and narrow. Moreover, some of these teen photos are likely to fit any definition of naturism.
