Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

News Radio 1200 WOAI San Antonio Texas: "A measure which would allow a judge to punish the parents of teenagers who engage in the risky practice known as 'sexting,' was introduced today in the Texas Legislature, and immediately received the support of Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, 1200 WOAI news reports.

The measure, introduced by State Sen. Kirk Watson (D-Austin), would make sexting a Class C misdemeanor requiring a court appearance for the teenaged violator, and would allow a judge to 'sentence' his or her parent to participate in an education program on sexting's long-term harmful consequences."

I'm not sure that's Leading the Way, given the Pennsy tendency to treat sexting teens as child-porn felons.
