    Nah. then they will charge the child (and try them as a adult…) for distributing child porn images.

      I swear I’ve read a similar headline a while ago of some teen being charged for that, because they sent nude selfies of themselves.

        That is where I got the (fucked up) idea from.

        IIRC: In USA. Teen sent nude pic to his girlfriend, both 16. He was charged with distributing child porn and put on a sex offender register for life.

              Neither is a teen freely sending a nude selfie of themselves to their teen SO.
              Many family photo albums feature naked kids in various stupid situations that were just thought to be cute and funny at the time, which would nowadays melt peoples brains if they’d hear about it, and certainly would fall under the same laws that would punish the teen in the other example.

                  I can have some sexual intend on photos of naked children bathing too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
                  That’s not really how those laws work though.
