Dangers of not thinking through the consequences of laws before passing them.
It is an offence to make and distribute naked images of children. Fair enough.
But what if you are a child and you make and distribute a naked image of yourself?
A boy who sent a naked photograph of himself to a girl at school has had the crime of making and distributing indecent images recorded against him by police.
He then sent it to a girl from his school using Snapchat - an app which deletes direct messages within 10 seconds.
However, before the image disappeared, the girl saved it on her own phone and it was then sent to other pupils at the school.
Weird thing, if he had been aged over 18 he would have been the victim of so-called "revenge porn" and those who distributed the image prosecuted.
This happened in Britain, but a similar case happened in the US, with a child being jailed.
