Teenagers' cell nudity under fire
Police and school district officials are investigating several Farmington Junior High teenagers who traded nude photos of themselves over cell phones.
The latest incident is the third time this school year that Farmington schools have caught students trading photos of their genitals and other nude shots, said Christopher Williams, a spokesman for the Davis School District.
"This type of technology creates problems," Williams said. "Imagine being a teacher trying to teach a class and you've got students sharing inappropriate photos of each other. You're not going to have the attention of the students."
A parent recently found the explicit photos on a child's cell phone and contacted police with concerns about the material, said Farmington police Lt. Shane Whitacker. The photos were traced to 13- and 14-year-old students enrolled at Farmington Junior High School, he said. Both boys and girls were involved.
School officials say there may be eight or nine students who participated in the photo exchange. Whitacker said the photos were traded among an "inner circle of friends" at the school and weren't publicly circulating. Investigators believe the photos were traded consensually between students, he said.
Police have interviewed at least four students connected to the incidents, Whitacker said, adding no one has been charged.
And um, the kids have been doing this. And if you think doing this in school is dumb. How about the fact there some who do this then post it to sites like photobucket? And what would they be charged with? Being knuckle headed teens?
