A 14-year-old New Jersey girl has been accused of child pornography after posting nearly 30 explicit nude pictures of herself on MySpace.com — charges that could force her to register as a sex offender if convicted.
She’s been released into her mother’s custody.
It’s all over the news, as though she killed someone. Actually, it has probably gotten more attention than if she killed someone. The media eats this stuff right up. But you’ll never read about the resolution of this case. They’re on to the next thing.

Regardless of what you think of sexting, you ought to be rather afraid when the government starts ruling on the morality of what anyone can and cannot send over a cell phone. And in this case, we’re apparently talking about a photo or photos of girls who are not naked or posed provocatively, even. They are two-year-old photos that were taken at a slumber party.

But yesterday, I discovered Twitter Search. And if you have any voyeur in you at all, you’ll want to go look, too.
Search for anything that you’d think that people would not talk about in front of their moms and you can find people twitting and tweeting about it, in real time. It’s like reading the text messages of complete strangers, over their shoulder, without any fear of being caught.
"Into Temptation" has been a forum about evolving social-sexual networks and how they have changed and are changing lives. In other words, we talk about dating and sex.
The original intention was that this blog would also chronicle a book project on the same subject; but that is in flux, on hiatus, perhaps meant for another time.
