Privacy advocates say prosecutors are misusing child pornography laws by turning them against the very people they are meant to protect.
The accusation comes following a raft of recent child pornography cases against juveniles accused of photographing themselves in the nude.
This week, prosecutors in Greensburg, Pennsylvania charged six teens ranging in age from 14 to 17 with creating, distributing and possessing child pornography, after three girls were found to have taken photos of themselves in the nude or partially nude and e-mailed them to friends, including three boys who are among the defendants.
