Posted June 26th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.foxnews.comThese stories seem to be more and more common. They really demonstrate the need for parents to teach their kids responsible use of the internet, and how easily a small incident can blow up to something that may affect them for years to come.
A 12-year-old Westport girl has been charged with distributing a nude photo of a classmate to fellow students.
The investigation began on May 12 when the incident was reported to Westport police after word circulated throughout Coleytown Middle School that a nude snapshot was taken during a video chat and distributed to others.
The girl is being referred to Juvenile Court in Norwalk on a charge of second-degree breach of peace, which involves the distribution of offensive and indecent material. Her name is not being released because of her age.
