Young children are at a potential risk of encountering online predators. Kids as young as 11 and 12 have been discovered taking compromising photos of themselves and sending these images over their phones and computers. Last fall, the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy teamed with CosmoGirl.com to canvass 1,280 teenagers and young adults about their electronic activities. According to their survey, one in five girls (11 percent between 13 and 16) and 18 percent of teen boys have sent or posted nude or seminude pictures or videos of themselves. About 15 percent of senders forwarded photos to people they hadn't actually met but knew only online. E-mails containing sexual come-ons are even more prevalent: About 39 percent have tapped out lurid e-mails and text messages.

"At the very least, kids need to know how much trouble they can get into for simply making or possessing these images. "When the legislation for child pornography was enacted, no one was imagining minors taking photos of their own bodies," says Jeffrey Douglas, a Santa Monica, California, defense attorney. "People don't realize that prosecutors may not have a lot of leeway in prosecuting these cases, and if kids are convicted, they could be labeled as sex offenders. Kids don't think about this, because they never believe they'll be caught. They don't even know that what they're doing is a crime."
