You are right. Kids are kids and should not be charged with child porn.

If a 16 year old recorded 2 consenting middle-schoolers, and then began showing the video at school, could he be charged with possessing/distributing child-porn? What if he posted it on Facebook?

He would be charged as a sex offender.

Yikes, you set up a good scenario for an older teen to be charged with child porn. I agree. If he is filming significantly younger kids, yes. I guess it should be case by case, like the murders where a youth is “tried as an adult.”

Now that's silly Bishop. You know the answer to that strained question. And he would no doubt be tried and convicted as an adult. What was even the point of that question?
