Protecting Children Charged With Sexting in Scottsdale, Arizona
While cell phones certainly have made life easier for most people, the ability for teenagers to send pictures to their friends has given rise to a dangerous practice. Sexting is when an individual sends a sexually explicit photo via a cell phone, MySpace or Facebook page to another individual. Unfortunately, the rise of sexting among teenagers has gathered the attention of the legal community, and prosecutors are determined to label these minors as sex offenders.

- Any other type of dangerous crime against a child charges
